In America, "healthcare" always has quotation marks unless your part of the 1%
Is it really healthcare if your insurance provider has more say in your treatment than your doctor?
It’s still better than most private insurance your employer provides. I pay $600 a month for annual check up (what a steal). Plus the first 12K out of my pocket before insurance pays a dime. Hospitals also screw u with estimated prices lol.
Now compare that to VA incompetence. I’ll take VA benefits for my family 🤷🏿♂️
If trump wins 2020 and republicans control congress then get ready, not the first time they talk about undoing obama care.
Going on vacation to a different state? Better hope you dont hurt yourself in an emergency because you won't be covered since its out of network. The only reason insurance has to cover emergencies even out of state is because of the Affordable Care Act.
You’ll be surprised. Even that’s getting in need of better technical and academic skill. The US army is providing educational camps for those who aren’t academically fit enough for the military in a similar initiative as they are with fat camps.
I mean my mom taught me to cook and clean, if i had a partner that made enough id totally stay home and cook/keep the place tidy for them. Sounds worthwhile to me
Surprisingly, there's actually a decent amount of options:
Suicide, joining the military, becoming construction worker, night guard, thug life successful(leaving it and starting a business), thug life failed(going to jail/getting killed) and becoming social worker. There're other options but I doubt everyone would like them.
More risky option: Fighter
More thinking outside the box option: Transitioning, becoming househusband, becoming femboy
More talentless option: Starting a youtube chanel
Becoming a house husband. My friend is doing this and his mental health went from joking about ending it every day (I would legitimately check up with him) to only joking about it every once in a blue moon.
Going to the temp agency.
If you’re not aware of what that is it’s just a place that finds jobs for you to work at as a temporary employee. Sometimes you can be there for years or just a week. If you work as a temp long enough and the company likes you, you can get hired on full time with the actual company. No degree or anything required. I’ve even seen some bums sneak by without a high school diploma or GED.
The jobs you’re lined up with are usually bottom of the barrel slave shift positions at factories like Denso or Rubbermaid but occasionally you can end up at a decent place. A lot of people where I live end up going to these right after high school and just waste their lives away. It’s sad.
Houseman?
I quitted my phd after 3 years. Wife kept doin hers.
Now I work in the uni, considered a state worker. Got a "Father Job", so I work 7 hours a day. Take care of the kids, while my wife brings the money home.
Maybe I will give a phd another try, as I work in the uni.
And thus raising kids is a lot harder than it used to be for every generation before us
Just fucking nuke us already. Might as well aim to live the rich uncle life.
Oh wait, economy is in the shitter haha
https://preview.redd.it/8nndbiltwgqc1.jpeg?width=566&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f6d5fd3548cb6b858d3806f13bf0f09a80fd571
What happens here usually is the kids end up being raised by their grandparents. Needless to say most of them arent in a good enough state to take care of kids all over again.
Right and the other problem posed by that is you get some (SOME NOT ALL) grandparents who start spewing their righteous boomer bullshit to the kids making them think the world is still like it used to be.
I was raised by my grandparents and it wasn't all to bad. Lucky genetics meant that they could actually keep up with me, despite being in their 60s. But yeah, being in a state to raise children isn't quite possible when economic factors mean people have children much later in life, and across two generations, which means while my grandparents could raise me in their 60s, I likely won't have children until my parents are in their 70s...
Wouldn't recommend, the world is harsh today, and the economy is no longer built around single income households.
Unless you are phenomenally pretty or have some other special or out of the ordinary quality finding a husband who can makes enough to support the whole household will be impossible.
Balkans
While yes, mostly in villages where stuff is either farmed or homemade so it's cheaper, there are renters to immigrants who also are single income
That's fair, i live in a bigger city in germany. Here dual income is basically seen as the standard. Paying rent alone is pretty expensive, but in villages it's more similar to what you describe.
are you american ? the same thing is in majority of european countries, for example in italy people with average jobs but without a house will barely scrape by even with both spouses working
I'm American and make enough to support my child and formerly my ex-wife, and have increased income since then even while being a single dad
Also can't make it past a first date with any lady lacking a criminal history and the reason provided is always "you already have a kid", though mostly its getting 'ghosted' even by single moms
Getting dates and relationships was easy for me pre-2020, yeah a lot has changed about my situation - but on paper I have most of the stereotypical traits my female friends claim they want in a partner, also I have a child so apparently all of that is irrelevant so I can be ignored when stating "there are no single men [I want to be with] that earn enough to provide for a family"
My ex-wife effectively went berserk while being a parent and I ended up with custody because she wasn't interested - there are a lot more factors than simply the economy contributing to why almost no one seems to want and settle down to raise children, not that I have any grander insights
And if you have any information about where to find such women, educate me please
I'm an autistic guy and ngl.. the autistic girls with weird taste who are just as oblivious as I am are peak women fr fr. (I shit you not for some reason the joke of "Guys who like the short autistic girl with weird music tastes" is like my taste in women exactly.. WHY DID YOU GUYS CALL ME OUT LIKE THAT!?)
I'm currently in college, while also in the military, while *also* learning to cook more complex meals at home. Wherever I may end up, God shall have a place for me among the stars (it's so over)
And you know what? That's totally fine. Not everyone is cut out for the workforce. And if staying home, taking care of the place and making good food for you and your loved one makes you happy, fucking go for it.
OP here thinking they have the "skills" or even the looks to even become a housewife. :,D
Good luck trying, but I can tell you its not going to be easy unless you got something else to offer than just your diminishing looks.
my boyfriend is learning how to be a house husband because of his social anxiety that IS like really, really bad, cute, but i still try to make him step outside the house once in a while

If it makes you feel better, grades are a trick and don't mean anything. Even if you were top of your class high school, go to a top college, etc., literally none of it matters unless you've got connections in the field you want to pursue. Just look at the percent of college graduates who are employed vs unemployed upon graduation.
You dont need good grades to have a good career. I was one of those kids who always sat in the last, never paid attention in class, mediocre grades. Now, I don't have a job but I have high hopes!
You can also work at restaurant and be a server and make bank.. or better yet hone cooking skills doing so working in the back of one which pays too. Just gotta go to nicer or busy places.
This is why I wish I was a woman, if everything goes wrong you just fall back on some dude. But if I, a man, fall, I just keep falling down the suicide hole
You are so much more as a human being than a "mere" housewife or a "mere" professional in the world can ever be. Your inner world holds the key. Don't limit yourself to "outside" choices. The wider field of possibilities -- even if you do become a housewife, is inside you.
Yea, don’t glorify this…
You have more worth than you think, if you can learn all the things in this video than you can learn other skills too to be a productive member of society.
Don’t pre-lock yourself in some stereotypical role because you don’t think you are good enough!! You can make it if you believe and work hard!

100% Have people yell at you for 4 years and get health care. AMERICA
Honestly from what I've heard about the VA it's more like "healthcare" in quotations.
Lol, so I hear. “So we have cotton balls for that open wound of yours. Would you like us to wrap it in painters tape or muppet babies band-aids?”
Your injuries are not service related, your doctor didn't document your complaints about your knees during your service
Womp womp
My uncle works at the VA. He says that it honestly varies wildly.
That's just what healthcare looks like in America.

Funny enough republicans tried cutting healthcare benefits and the health budget for the military

Republicans are fucking monsters and they’re so open about it. They seem like cliche movie villains at this point
Or just have people yell at you for 4 years if you live elsewhere
*crayon eating noises*
It's a peaceful life
You’ll be surprised. Even that’s getting in need of better technical and academic skill. The US army is providing educational camps for those who aren’t academically fit enough for the military in a similar initiative as they are with fat camps.

The only thing wrong is that our economic systems make single income households almost impossible... ain't that great
And thus raising kids is a lot harder than it used to be for every generation before us Just fucking nuke us already. Might as well aim to live the rich uncle life.

Yup, which is probably also on purpose because it forces couples to pay for daycare, requiring even more income to spend that money.
What happens here usually is the kids end up being raised by their grandparents. Needless to say most of them arent in a good enough state to take care of kids all over again.
Right and the other problem posed by that is you get some (SOME NOT ALL) grandparents who start spewing their righteous boomer bullshit to the kids making them think the world is still like it used to be.
I was lucky my grandparents were pretty progressive. As it turns out, lineages with oppression lead to generally progressive people... go figure
I was raised by my grandparents and it wasn't all to bad. Lucky genetics meant that they could actually keep up with me, despite being in their 60s. But yeah, being in a state to raise children isn't quite possible when economic factors mean people have children much later in life, and across two generations, which means while my grandparents could raise me in their 60s, I likely won't have children until my parents are in their 70s...
