This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Is this hyperbole or nah
There are jobs. But the vast majority of them are shitty low paid jobs imo.
Depends on where anon's family is. A lot of small towns have no jobs left for the people graduating high-school. Some cities, like Detroit, have a lack of jobs.
well a lot of listings are just straight up fake because companies want the optics of having open job offers but don't actually want to hire people, and a huge chunk of jobs are either so out of the way that the commute would leave you without enough money to live on, or they require such absurd qualifications that basically no one is eligible.
A favourite is when programming jobs require 5 years of experience in a language that was made 3 years ago.
Not a hyperbole. Sometimes jobs are concentrated in few cities in a country.
