You say this with all seriousness while not being able to hold steady employment


Worked almost for 40 years as a adult, started earning money when I was 8.

You're less than 25% there and are about to have your job taken over by technology.

I'll look for you if I need an Uber next time I'm down there.

Your thread is a contradiction. You’re also a clown.

Yeah I wrote that. All true. What do you disagree with?




I mean, what you wrote isn't philosophically different than what I wrote about my weekend trip to georgia. Yet you called me entitled and have gone on for pages and pages about how it's so abnormal to go on a 3 night vacation a few hundred miles away from home.

Dont. Its part of maturing as a man.

Unlike you, work isn't a nefarious word for me.

Work is pretty easy when you just sit on social media literally the entire time.




You posted not that long ago about how your dock terminal employer was at half capacity because you needed more manpower. Meanwhile you averaged like 11 posts per hour during the work day. Maybe get off your phone and work.

Blame the salaries they get now. It’s insane. I won’t support that


The tv rights and apparel sales pay for most of salaries
I don’t even care that season tickets are high because you can find after market for cheap
Problem is concessions

Well people keep paying the ticket prices so they keep charging more and more. They gotta pay those ever inflated salaries. You’re paying for that shite. Not me.


Attendance is down compared to 20 years ago

Tv is driving salaries

So what’s your main point? You have it hard now because of inflation?

We got one dumbass on here giving away almost 11K to a Church and complaining.

I’m with ya. Retired early 50s. Don’t give a flying frick about gas, groceries, etc. Zero debt. ZERO not even a mortgage. I sacrificed to get where I am. Most people don’t.

You have cried in here that everything that isn’t sitting at home with rice and beans is a luxury yet you believe middle class people should be entitled to attend LSU games? Explain

I was just providing further anecdotal evidence that relatively normal activities (going on a regional southeastern US weekend vacation) are incredibly expensive.

Where is that coming from? Just because I think some things have gotten way more expensive (outpacing inflation) doesn't mean I "have it hard".

I didn’t say this.

I didn’t say entitled. It’s a luxury in my book to go to any sports game. And the main point of that post was that $ was destroying the culture.

I truly cannot understand what is so complicated about this. And it’s the same repeat offenders
