Hi @Lonely dude30 thanks for dropping by. To get a job I just had to go round the whole town knocking on business doors & asking for a chance to work.. way simpler back then yes.
nowadays I look at the amount of questions you have to reply to on their application forms, and then amount of experience and qualifications required to even be considered for the lowly paid vacancy.
I’m about to become redundant in a few days.. went to a local employer and asked them for a job but was pointed to their website in order to apply. Went back a couple of days later to point out their website link wasn’t working.. bit embarrassing for both of us tbh.
You make good points about the rise of the serial killings, the drug wars, the car jackings, the stabbing a, the school shootings… the waves of terrorism etc. I guess this was amplified by the media, the internet and communication systems.
Every era does have its downsides. In the uk we had strikes (I remember living by candlelight due to power shortages) & mass recessions too.
drugs and stabbings seem to override so much these days.. I struggle to wrap my head around the madness and barbarity of it all. I know you guys also have mass shootings too.
China has medical quarantine centres, mass surveillance camera infrastructure, credit scoring systems.. if your credit score isn’t good enough you can’t get fuel or pass into certain areas.. to be honest the future scares the bejezus out of me but luckily enough I am too old to be affected by this.
