Trying to find a job

Been looking for work. Not super hard, though. Just meandering, really, in my efforts.
It's my pessimistic, attitude, I suppose. Lost my last two jobs, one due to the economy, and the other due to my bad back. What's the point in looking for work now, I wonder?
Ah well, I suppose I could try harder. But who'd wanna hire a thrice time loser like me, who has a bad attitude to boot? Not me, that's for sure. Can't stand people like me, always making excuses not to work.
I've been using WorkBC's services. But it's all a big joke to me. Seems like a poor second cousin to the agency it'd replaced, some few years back.
But that's how it is, right now. Social conditions have utterly gutted the employment market.
And what's worse, the job market is so terrible right now, I'm reduced to having to use meaningless buzz terms such as employment market and job market.
And almost as bad as all that, is the depressed job market has gutted employment agencies' purpose for putting people to work. There's no jobs, so what are services like WorkBC actually supposed to do?
Rearrange their office chairs, I suppose. Make sure their pens are all in order, and accounted for. They've gotta hit that vitally important metric, for sure. It's not like they can actually put people to work right now or even in the foreseeable future, anyhow.
WorkBC's getting sick of me, I think. It's understandable. I'd be sick of me, too. In fact, I'm already sick of me. Missed so many appointments. Next week is my last chance.
Hah, I don't even know if I want to go. It's all a big joke, really. No one's hiring me for anything. I've burned too many bridges, and stepped on too many toes.
Might as well try and make this writing a blog thing work out. I'm doing great so far, a few dozen visits, and no revenue, thus far!
I'll probably lose my Social Assistance when I quit WorkBC's services, but I'm sick of having to jump through hoops for it, anyway.
I wonder if anyone from WorkBC will read this post? I kinda hope so. Be something to talk about at my meeting if I make it there.

    Most of the time I don’t make comments on websites, but I'd like to say that this article really forced me to do so. Really nice post!

Private Equity is a TERRIBLE Investment... Who Keeps Giving Them Money? — How Money Works

Not too much to comment. Business in the USA and by extension Canada is bad right now. Probably for a generation. We really do need a generational plan to get us out of this mess. A ten to twenty year program, unfortunately. Placing pieces onto the board and moving them where they need to be to make things work again. By pieces, I mean people. We need good strong policies to implement as well. There's a lot to think about.

The human 'superpredator' is unique -- and unsustainable, study says

Los Angeles Times I can't imagine the world in ten years time. Twenty years. It'll be different. As different as the world was even in my own childhood. As different as the world was from my parents' childhoods. My elders speak of our role on this Earth as caretakers. However, we've abandoned this role in favor of materialistic pursuits. Of finite beliefs that will quickly degrade into ash when stressed, as heated glass touching cold water. All cultures historically warn us away from over-indulgence, and yet our own modern society celebrates this behavior as exemplary. This self-interest is our fatal flaw. We take what we want, and we give nothing. This cannot last. There are limits on this Earth we cannot comprehend in full. It is simply too vast. However, what little we do know should terrify us into acting more responsibly, even if only marginally. However we do not even do that. Our leaders urge us on to continue on as we have done. This cannot last. Eventuall...

The potential Canadian federal government budget

If Trudeau has brought in Mark Carney as a kind of special advisory role, then it's likely the upcoming budget will resemble the budget the Labour government in the UK unveiled just recently. It'll likely be a large stimulus bill aimed at getting cash into hands and raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations. If the howls for Trudeau's resignation are any indication, he's probably placed a lot of confidence into Carney, and why wouldn't he? Carney's well-respected and liked by the Canadian public and seen as someone who's able to stand up to bullies such as Harper and Poilievre. The work in policy Carney has done recently inspires me quite a bit, and I'm quite a bit of a radical, standing considerably to the left of the federal NDP. From the results of the Cabinet shuffle, Trudeau seems to be keeping Carney at arms length away from  the Cabinet, but I wouldn't be surprised if Carney is on speed dial for both him and the entirety of Cabinet. But it...
