Boomer with 30 million dollars earned by having uneducated conversations with uneducated women to entertain uneducated women tells young people to just “get a job”.
Every now and then, there’s an article about some dumb shit a person on The View says. My reaction is always surprise that The View is still even a thing.
I don’t really understand who their target audience is. They would’ve been conservative 20 years ago, but today I think they just cater to saying whatever middleclass boomers want to hear.
A combination of that and knowing that comments like that will get articles like this, garnering them more attention and views. Ragebait may have become a recent Big Problem in the algorithms of social media, but it’s been around forever. Howard Stern and Jerry Springer built their fortunes on it.
It’s a fossilized turd. My guess is, there’s so much fierce competition for eyeballs these days, if the advertisers think 200 people are actually watching it, they get pretty excited.
There’s a lot of people in comas that are in those 200 people and mostly because it comes on after Price is Right.

I am a fucking insurance professional- educated and licensed -and I still can’t make end meet and pay off my student loans.
Tax the rich and enhance social programs. It’s not about the job, it’s about luck and generational wealth hoarding.
Just get a job? Why don’t I strap on my job helmet and squeeze down into a job cannon and fire off into Jobland, where jobs grow on jobbies!
Nothing says “I’m old, rich, and out of touch” quite like “get a job, you lazy bums”
Oh no man, she’s had a rough life - started at Good Morning America as a receptionist and basically turned that into a comedy career, she’s a working stiff lol. Behar was born Josephine Victoria Occhiuto in 1942. Something tells me she’s a bit out of touch here in the 21st century.
Fuck the view lol. Everyone that gets a job on that show turns into a jackass, braying their bullshit at top volume. It’s the worst side of television.
Pretty sure that’s the appeal. It’s a ragebait-circlejerk.
Start from absolute zero like anyone else and you wouldn’t survive a year in today’s economy.
Bold of you to assume most people don’t start off with debt.
What a fucking piece of shit.

Now that’s just not accurate. Either way she’s a giant piece of shit, it’s only a question of how ignorant she is and whether or not she’s choosing to be that way.

Many people would be surprised how many homeless people have (hard science) degrees or used to be very succesful. Bad luck, medical debt, (mental-)health issues, company goes bankrupt due to circumstances beyond your control, etc.
The world isn’t fair. You can work really hard, and end up in the oven of a concentration camp, despite what the slogan above the gate said.
Of course, if you’re a relatively talentless hack who’s won the equivalent of the lottery despite not really deserving it that much, it’s nicer to think that you deserve it because of your inate talent. Vanity. It’s the Devil’s favourite sin.

oof.
Medical debt is so underappreciated and it is no joke. It can add up very, very high and very, very quickly.
I have a CS degree and spent a couple months in my backseat.
Bow chica bow wow…oh, you meant something else… /s
I know a couple homeless men who were programmers and burned out, got depressed and gave up
Says the person whose primary job for decades now has been to just sit around with other women and gossip. Oh please, get a real job.
“Wealthy asshole has no empathy.” I’m shocked. Fuck her. Fuck talking heads in general.

That was Barbara Walters.
I’m a fucking engineer, what more was I supposed to do? I should be getting ahead instead of treading water.
Engineer yourself some bootstraps /s
“Fucking engineer” kind of sounds like slang for a porn actor/actress.
Boomers gonna boom.
Hopefully it’s the type of boom I’m imagining.
The one preceded by “tick tick tick?”
