Getting hounded by economists on twitter for not believing that the American economy is currently “good,” because apparently the economy being good isn’t about me

Careful with all the asking for money posts in Tumblr.
+ Good ways to help yourself
Look, we all need money. The wealth inequality is abysmal. But I'm not about to give a penny to:
1. Complete strangers I don't even know the name of who go on social media and ask you to donate to some PayPal with a name like "SexyPanther03".
2. People who think that putting lgbt flags and telling people they're practically in every minority group and disabled and so on means we should give them money with no questions asked.
3. Click-baiters.
4. People who for all I know are just trying to take advantage.
My family and I have always struggled economically due to health problems and not once have we ever tried to become a sad story in social media and asked strangers for money saying things that people cannot tell if they're true or not. And I know it all. Being so sick you can't work? My dad was until he died. Not qualified enough? Or super qualified and there just isn't work? Or you work for next to nothing? Or you get a job but your health makes you struggle with it? I've lived them all. I know what it is like. I know what it feels like to not have a choice but to ask for help. To count the pennies.
But dude, you do SOMETHING. Anything but posting a lgbtq in flag and telling people to donate to your PayPal because basically you're trans black disabled and trying to get out of an abusive situation. Hey might be true but even so, where are the authorities? Relatives? Friends? Is there any aid you can claim? Have you really tried every option? Is there really nothing better for you to do than that?
I'm sorry but if you have PayPal and Tumblr, you've got access to Internet and computers which is more than anybody who truly needs help can say. If you're a protected minority there are many organisations who are devoted to help you. If you're disabled, you also typically have a right to some small help (I know it's very little, but it's something).
These are some PROVEN things I've done to help myself financially in times of struggle (in case they help anybody):
When shopping look at the cheapest price per kilo / half kilo / whatever larger measure they show. NOT for unit.
Check how big things are and how long they last. For example it might be worth buying a £6 shampoo if it's so big it'll last you 6 months (basically £1 a month goes in shampoo) than buying a £2.5 shampoo that you need to buy twice a month because of it's size (£5 a month).
Check out organic products. Yes they're more expensive but often last longer and are cheaper in the long run. For example with the conventional deodorants I used to spend about £3 every 2months. Now I buy an ecological bar soap style deodorant that works better (so I put very little of it) and lasts me for 7 months at about 1 pound a month.
Always buy higher quality things when you can. They will last you way longer and you won't need to buy another in so long that it'll end up being cheaper than buying shit quality often.
Make a list of the things you truly need for survival and plans about getting the money. Leave every expense you can't afford. Sometimes even ketchup is a luxury.
Look for employment OUT THERE more than online. Sometimes your neighbourhood has many little opportunities.
Don't get snobbish about what job you have.
Relish every opportunity to study (and use every student's aid!) I was very privileged as a student to be paid 3000€ per year for being a poor student with high grades. Thanks to those my mum could pay our bills and uni books!
Check out your local authority aids, your government aids, any organisations you could count on.
Reduce your transport expenses as much as you can. In London I used to pay an exorbitant amount on transport because of the zone fares but once I realised I barely go to certain zones and stopped paying them, I saved hundreds.
Try and live in cheaper areas if you can! It's always the battle of cheaper place with more transport expenses or the other way around. Personally I think cheaper place is best and trying to work locally if you can.
Check out if your age means you can get things cheaper or free. There's a lot of that in the UK if you're under 25.

Now that #Russia proposes a new international standard for metals. Prices will be fixed either in the national #currencies of key member countries or using new monetary units used in international trade— i.e, the new #BRICS currency proposed by #Putin. https://youtu.be/8cp-KW9H5Z8

Article from last year, before the life support got pulled
Someone needs to write a book on what the hell happened here - in the history of corporate America, I don't think we've ever seen a blunder this costly. Facebook spent an obscene amount of money on the Metaverse, changed the name of their company, and then pulled the plug without any return on investment.
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think the revenues are so dwarfed by the investment that for practical accounting purposes they are effectively zero. And it's not like this is useful stuff that will be repurposed for some other project down the road - the end product was so bad that it couldn't even be used internally.
And yet.
Tumblr media
Meta is basically fine! Over the past few years they took Ecuador's entire yearly GDP and set it on fire, and they're chugging along smoothly. They laid a bunch of people off (because they were paying them all to work on a useless product) but otherwise have cruised through mostly unaffected.

When people say the gig economy is fucked, they may not be able to put it enough into persepctive for those outside of that sphere to understand.
Let me paint you a picture.
My partner and I just dashed for about 2 hours. Drove through snow and high winds. Dealt with grumpy retail employees. Navigated the hell that is city-downtown driving. ALL on Black Friday, the day that's supposed to be highest-paying.
Guess how much we made.
I'll wait.
○ ○ ○
$12.
That's it. $6/hour. McDONALD'S pays more than that. More than double, in-fact (at least in NYS).
Uber, doordash, instacart, all these businesses that tout themselves as helpful to the entrepreneurial spirit-- they're all lying to us.
They're using every old excuse in the book to not properly compensate their workers, then crack down on the organizations that could ACTUALLY help them, like unions.
Don't be fooled by propoganda.
Corporations are NOT our friends. Fight for your rights.

If my living situation weren't hell right now (and for the recent past and foreseeable future), I could see myself enjoying the momentum of having >6h of class each day plus required reading plus extracurriculars and reading for fun on my breaks plus hanging out with my dear IRL bestie. But alas, my living situation is hell right now.
