This is me. Trump took my job. I don't have time to help the world because nobody will help me.

A country of desperate people is weak.

That feel when you're disabled and know it's happening but can't do anything about it. You try to find time to at least do something, but it feels like you've dumped one bucket of water out of a boat and in the time it took you to do that two buckets worth of water have leaked into the boat.

Ngl, fighting thoughts of either escaping to a forest, or just straight up murdering people every day (when I'm not thinking of just offing myself somewhere away from eyes).

That may really backfire for them. I have seen Nepal, I have seen Luigi, and I have seen the whole Charlie Kirk thing.

Starving people in Palestine run at Israeli tanks with salvaged explosives they built from Israeli bombs while wearing flipflops.

I find it really puts things in perspective when you look at real resistance in the real world.

The ordering of the character chances in each row and it bothers me. In makes it hard to connect the struggles to the effects they have on their job choices and political stance. See for example the one with medical bills. I'd expect to be able to read a single column top to bottom. And for one of the two characters that doesn't change their place from first row to second row, it makes no sense the young person with large student debt would work for no money. Swapping the first and second characters in the second row would make more sense.

This is just my pedantry. The point made in the graphic is very valid, I just found it a bit difficult to read.

Is this an Aussie infographic?

Eh, that's why I plan to make a Lemmy community centered around basically food/water/energy self-sufficiency, to cockblock exploitation like this.

Once I rehabilitate myself first, and adopt that lifestyle myself fully.

Do we have a source? All I can tell it is from Australia before the Libs (the conservatives, for international readers) changed the name of Newstart to "Job Seeker".

They also renamed the Department of Human Services to Services Australia.

Every time they're in power, they're trying to remove all the welfare we've built up. They just can't because we love it.

If it weren't for Centrelink, I probably wouldn't have finished university, and I probably wouldn't be an engineer now.

Fuck austerity. And long may the LNP (the conservative coalition) be in complete shambles, ans hopefully push the Labor party back to its more left wing roots.

Predictably 50% of them are irreverent, readers digest shit or super duper 'merica. This is the internet in 2025 not a print magazine for 1995.
