Wasn’t this asked a while ago?

So we’re going to be at war for another decade then?

I vote in a swing state.

Not much. Never heard of it.

The food especially nopales and agua fresca. Deep cut American classic rock being blasted at me from shops and Uber drivers. The people are generally interested in why I’m so stoked to be there, I loved answering questions. Indigenous ruins and archeology zones. I’m from Texas, so it was constantly fascinating figuring out some of the origins of cultural keystones I didn’t realize shaped my life.

It was such a better time in my life than what I’m struggling with now. That’s probably too personal to be a good answer, but it’s an honest one.

Went there a couple years ago to go see the ruins. A lot of the colonial buildings are leaning at strong angles.

Fuck I miss Mexico.

This isn’t an article.

Yes. My dishwasher isn’t great.

I used to make six figures designing and developing applications for the Federal Government. Trump won. I got laid off and everyone hiring has said I got replaced by AI. After almost a year without finding work I now shop online orders at my local grocery store. I got rejected for food stamps and my mortgage has gone up. I’m the son of a junkie and I don’t have a romantic partner so I don’t have access to a lot of family support.

It really wasn’t directed towards you specifically. If I was standing around at work and this was asked then this is how I would respond. Which has happened. There is an obsession with this topic that has empowered the dumbest element in my society (American) to take power in my society. Due to those elements (conservatives) I have lost my job (my current pays 1/4 of what I was making), livelihood, and now face an economic collapse. I absolutely don’t blame trans people for this, but recognize that their existence has led to my life becoming worse due to exploitation. Personally I just call people whatever pronoun out of politeness. They deserve equal rights under the law, but unfortunately the law doesn’t mean much these days.

Mine and people like me (the poor) opinion ultimately does not matter, so I don’t understand why the question keeps being asked. Would it change anything?

“How would you respond…”

Why are you asking me this question?

Why did you bring this up?

I’m in dire circumstances and need decent employment or I will not escape poverty. Are you going to do anything to help me?

Why are you thinking about this?

Do you even know or have met anyone trans?

Who are you?

You posted this in the wrong place my guy.

Rule 1: Post news articles only.

I’ve been applying to entry level jobs for months. I was a frontend developer and designer with ten years experience. I now have a PMP, PMI-ACP, and PSM I certifications. I have a resume with a high ATS score. I’ve only been met with silence from jobs. The only work I’ve found is working for a grocery store part time. It’s not covering my bills.

I don’t want to hurt anyone. I’m hungry and I may be homeless soon. What’s the point of being moral if nobody will help me when I’m at rock bottom?

I’m feeling really old. It’s hard to keep trying and failing at my age. There are no jobs and I don’t have anyone to lean on for financial support.

I’m not in shape. I don’t think I could survive basic training. I’m running out of options.

I’m 40. I haven’t found full time work in a year. I might have to join. I don’t want to lose my house. Nobody will miss me if I die overseas.

I learned to hate myself. Focusing on my constant failures has led me to forget most people over decades.
