getting let go from my job after the first day (i think someone i went to school with outed me lmao) has got me thinking about the california economy and yknow. i wonder if skyrocketing insane housing prices driving vast swathes of our remotely employed middle class to move to other states and countries might have had the effect of removing a large customer base with disposable income from our local economy causing us to go into an economic recession nice and early as a canary in the real estate coal mine that in a better country would have actually made the news. but i suspect that the national recession is going to be like the global pandemic where officials will lie about/obfuscate the issue until its impossible to hide
#the fact that my once middle class household with multiple generations and 6 adults contributing to financial resources#are in danger of losing the house we barely fit in is insane. obviously it isnt OK or JUSTIFIED when anyone becomes homeless#but its insane to think about that happening in this case#the high-level office job my dad used to work at went from being a career you had until you retired#to a job you had for a few years until office politics and discrimination chased you out#(my dad usually being the one hispanic guy in an office full of white guys)#to a short term contract that never got renewed#to just nothing. everybody taking applications. hardly anyone interviewing. and nobody hiring#ive been struggling for 6 months now to get a job in anything from janitorial to warehouse to finally crawling back to restaurant work#nothing. dozens of applications. 3 interviews in 6 months#then i finally get a restaurant job that will let me save up to move with a safety net#and everything goes well 1st day. then the next day i get a text saying ''we believe this wont be a good fit'' and a venmo for what i earne
