Unemployed People Are UNSTOPPABLE... Nothing Can Stop These People From Traveling
This is a part 2 thread.

Here was my 1st thread


Thread: Holy FUCK! Unemployed People Are UNSTOPPABLE

Anyhoo, a little bit about me.. I am retired (in my late 40's), have my own home paid off, and have 2 small rental cabins paid off too. I paid off my cars, and Im 100% debt free. No credit cards, no loans. I pay cash for everything, and own gold and silver too.

Now lets get to the unemployed people part...

I had to travel to Washington state a week ago to visit some family. I have been there many times. This time I went there holy freaking cow balls. On a weekday during the middle of the day, the roads were jammed packed with cars. I mean, never in my entire life have I seen this... As I mentioned before, I have traveled to the same place many many times and this was the 1st time seeing it soo busy...

I see entire families in their brand new $40,000 - $80,000 SUVs, with their kids and dogs. This was on a Tuesday at around early afternoon. About 40% of the cars on the road were entire families in the car. I see a couple of them dancing and listing to music, and they stick their hands out the window doing the wave motion. How are these people not at work??? They are young adults in their 20's - 40's....

And not only that, I have noticed alot of people are driving slower than usual!! IF these people actual had jobs, then they wouldnt be driving below the speed limit... The light turns green and they sit through the green light... Did they all win the Mega Powerballs or something??

When I used to work, I would drive fast to get to work on time... I wouldnt be driving 10-15 MPH below the speed limit... These people are taking their sweet sweet time. I even see them slowing down to take pictures at random objects.. I shit you not!! How do these people have so much free time?

Now lets move on to Thursday in the same week.. My sister who is in her 50's (she is retired too) had to go to Costco and I went with her as well.. For the love of god, the second I step foot into that store I though it was COVID all over again... All of the lanes at the checking area was taken.. This was at 11:00 AM... All of the lines were backed up atleast 25 feet!!!!!! Once again, atleast half of them were with entire families, or couples.... 80% of them were young people.. Again, how are these people not at work???!!!

It is not like they were stocking up on food.. They all had 1 item of each food.. I even saw people taking selfies with their families.. I mean come on... How much free time do these people have??? One lady was even dancing with her daughter while waiting at the checkout lane...

Even though I am retired, I still dont have time do take selfies or take my sweet time to do shopping or dance in my freaking car... I still have to run alot of errands and work on prepping projects at home...

For pete's sake, how are these unemployed people paying for all of this crap they have? They own half a million dollar homes, multiple brand new cars totaling $40-80k each, have student loans, credit card bills, health insurance bill ,ect ect....

In my part 1 thread, a GLPer told me that they are using money from HELOCs. This would explain why they have so many useless stuff. However, the situation has changed now.. now that inflation has hit over 30%, gas prices are over $6/gallon, interest rates on homes have gone up, food prices are soaring, the stock market is crashing, and i bet their 401k has taken a huge hit too.. And even after all of that, they are still traveling and taking their sweet time when they go out? What gives??



What will stop these sheep from traveling??

Please tell me I am not the only one seeing this!

Re: Unemployed People Are UNSTOPPABLE... Nothing Can Stop These People From Traveling
OP, you hit the nail on the head. I agree 100% with you.

I work at one of those pack and ship centers and we also take pictures for passport too.

Before Convid, we would only have 1 or 2 people come in daily for passport pictures. Now, we are seeing 5-10 people coming in every single day and most of them are big families with their kids. These people come in on weekdays and not weekends.

I have chatted with alot of them are they are saying that they are traveling to Europe, Australia, or South East Asia.. Yep, even after 2 years of vacation since early 2020 and getting frebee money, they are still wanting to travel and not work..

That isnt important. What is important is how are these people doing this?? That is the question.. It raises big eyebrows if you ask me.

Their Convid freebee money has most likely run out since they bought all of those cars, homes, iphones ,ect. So how do these people still have vacation time and not work?

Dont forget that inflation and gas prices are rising too.. Are these people not affected by this?? Do they shit out cash every single day or something?

They dowhatthey see the leaders doing. They figured out that everything is being stolen from top down, there's zero accountability at the top, so they just do the same thing.
Why bother to work like a donkey and just watch the scumbags at the top add zeros in the computer every time they want more shit?

Taking money from 401k

You can easily get signed up for multiple credit cards with 5-10grand limits.

The new thing when buying a home is to get a larger mortgage which give you some cash.

First, thanks for the disclaimer about how rich, successful and smart you are. Already retired and set for life in your late 40s, with multiple rental cabins to boot! You've succeeded in making us all jealous of your greatness (although anyone can claim anything on an anonymous forum).

Second, how do you know these people are unemployed? There's a lot of well off people in Washington state. If they're driving expensive cars they are probably the wife and kids of some $200,000 per year Microshaft, Gaggle, or Amazzn employee. These employees, by the way, work from home, sit around doing whatever they want, in between the couple of phone calls a day they have. However, they are ALL "VACCINATED". They days are numbered.

Why work? very few younger people have a hobby that would fill the time a career or job does - why work? in a word: boredom, another word: purpose, we as humans need a purpose in life and very few have figured out an activity that fills all their time AND gives them purpose. I suppose working for a charity would fit the bill if you were so inclined.

Again, how are these people not at work???!!!

It is not like they were stocking up on food.. They all had 1 item of each food.. I even saw people taking selfies with their families.. I mean come on... How much free time do these people have??? One lady was even dancing with her daughter while waiting at the checkout lane...

Even though I am retired, I still dont have time do take selfies or take my sweet time to do shopping or dance in my freaking car... I still have to run alot of errands and work on prepping projects at home...

For pete's sake, how are these unemployed people paying for all of this crap they have? They own half a million dollar homes, multiple brand new cars totaling $40-80k each, have student loans, credit card bills, health insurance bill ,ect ect....

In my part 1 thread, a GLPer told me that they are using money from HELOCs. This would explain why they have so many useless stuff. However, the situation has changed now.. now that inflation has hit over 30%, gas prices are over $6/gallon, interest rates on homes have gone up, food prices are soaring, the stock market is crashing, and i bet their 401k has taken a huge hit too.. And even after all of that, they are still traveling and taking their sweet time when they go out? What gives??



What will stop these sheep from traveling??

Please tell me I am not the only one seeing this!

So you want governmental restriction of movement on private citizens?

1.) You do realize that people go on vacations more as the seasons move to spring / summer, right? You're not 12, so, this shouldn't be a surprise.

2.) You see entire families in their new SUV's and, instead of assuming "saved vacation time," you assume unemployed. How do unemployed people afford new cars and gas and vacation time? Weird.

3.) People are driving slower than usual in an effort to save money on gas, moran.

4.) When you used to work, you drove fast, because you were a moran who didn't leave on time (or early) for work. Which speaks loads about your character.

Your disdain for people who have free time only shows how miserable you are with all the free time you have. Must suck to be so depressing.

Maybe get out of your own head and stop worrying about what other people are doing, you might find some semblance of happiness.

Why bother slaving away and trying to do the right thing in an obviously corrupted and beyond broken system. So many of you are well aware of how fucked things are but then wonder why you're not seeing a society full of happy energetic workers with drive and integrity, fuck this bitch till the tits come off.
Unholy war you will get, you can bet, the US is the great satan

OP, you hit the nail on the head. I agree 100% with you.

I work at one of those pack and ship centers and we also take pictures for passport too.

Before Convid, we would only have 1 or 2 people come in daily for passport pictures. Now, we are seeing 5-10 people coming in every single day and most of them are big families with their kids. These people come in on weekdays and not weekends.

I have chatted with alot of them are they are saying that they are traveling to Europe, Australia, or South East Asia.. Yep, even after 2 years of vacation since early 2020 and getting frebee money, they are still wanting to travel and not work..

2008 on steroids. They gave people the means to earn perceived wealth, and now those people are spending to oblivion.

2008 2.0 is coming. It's going to wreck most of everyone that didn't see it coming.

OP, so because you are retired (and you just HAVE to mention your age) lol,the rest of the World should stay out of your way?

Colleges are done for the year, people work from home 3 hours a day, etc.

Youtubers make 100,000.00 a year reacting to Pink Floyd Music Videos.

Maybe we should ALL stay home so you can not be around the public?

It's really cheap to travel overseas now.

I went to Florida- cost me 2x what going to Italy would have. Didn't want to wear a mask tho. If I would have went to Italy, the plane & hotel would have made us mask up.
