I just wanted to vent about an online interaction I had with people in my local community.

I lost my pharmacy technician job last month because the company is going bankrupt, and I had an eviction hearing this week because I haven't found a new job yet and have no income to pay rent. Somebody in a local FB group today made a post about how they're happy that place went out of business because she found a new pharmacy that treats her better, and it kind of made me mad. I was salty and commented, "I'm glad you're happy hundreds of people lost their jobs (including me)."

Then I got bombarded with comments that included this gem from some white boomer lady: "Maybe if you had any discernible skills, you wouldn't have lost your job." That really pissed me off. Not only did the business going under have nothing to do with me or my alleged lack of skills, but I had just started training to become a certified pharmacy tech. I felt like I finally found a job that I was good at and enjoyed. It was one of the most tough and thankless jobs I've ever had, but I was genuinely good at it and received a lot of positive feedback from my manager and customers. It was such a good fit, that I want to try to continue doing this type of work.

I've been applying at a bunch of pharmacies hoping that I can find another opportunity to receive on-the-job training, but nothing has panned out yet. Now I'm staring down the barrel of eviction, and something about seeing a bunch of people ridicule my situation because I challenged the OP's post just makes me kind of upset.

Hey comrades, it sucks being in this position. I lost my job at the end of February, struggled with finding employment until May, found a job I really liked, and then they closed after working there for less than a month. So I've been without an income again for a few weeks, and I'm still looking for work.

Unfortunately, I fell behind on my utilities and woke up to my power being shut off. I need $350 to restore it, so I'm trying to gather money from different sources to try to make that happen. Anything towards that helps! Feel free to comment or PM me for any additional info you might want from me.

Thank you so much for reading.

Edit: So I was able to get my power restored by making a partial payment of $50 and committing to on-time payments of $50 for the next 12 months. So, the immediate crisis has been avoided. Now I just need to keep trying to find a job so it doesn't get shut off again next month lol.

Lmao, today got even funnier. Also, fuck Joe Manchin.

Some takeaways:

1. Trump is the most pro-life, anti baby-murder president we've ever had, and it's a demonic plot that stole the election from him. The communist Democrats are hell-bent on killing as many babies as possible to show their allegiance to Satan.

2. Then they showed a clip of a Muslim devotional video which claimed Allah was the one true god. After the clip ended, they started praising Trump for keeping the borders closed. If he let the Muslims in, rampant evil would spread across our great nation the likes of which has never been seen, collapsing our institutions to enact Sharia Law.

3. They then showed protesters at an ICE detention camp, holding signs such as, "Family Has No Borders", "Close the Camps", and "Abolish ICE". They began to harangue the protesters, calling them Marxist actors who want to let as many illegal drug dealers and traffickers into our country as possible, in order to weaken our amazing president's administration.

This was all within ten minutes, lol. TV Christianity is literally just state propaganda of the Republican party. Nothing that they spoke about had anything to do with God or Christ.
