You'd know that if you weren't living in your mothers basement. Don't worry, it gets better. If you look at average wage rates there is a lot of movement as you get older. But you do have to get older. Nobody pays early 20 somethings with no skills or experience a wage in the top 30% of the population but as you gain skills and experience you'll find getting that wage is not overly difficult. The statistics on how as people age their wages go up are publicly made available in basically every single OECD country, try looking them up, but it's common sense that people that contribute less value to the economy will get paid less value by the economy. <br /><br />tldr; shut up, you whiny babyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867015.post-87667653378573138872017-04-22T21:26:27.412+01:002017-04-22T21:26:27.412+01:00The claim to be into food before money is counterp...The claim to be into food before money is counterpointed by the talk of pasta getting cold...but Paella is a rice-based dish?<br />You're not even a good pretend gourmand.<br />Brand is a dick though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867015.post-61851520482317721872015-05-07T20:36:40.376+01:002015-05-07T20:36:40.376+01:00Bang on.

The man has made his way very quickly through the vacuous 'stardom' of 'celebrity' culture & thanks to his charisma & intelligence he has now found a real place to work. I don't think that this is any kind of advertisement for his next money making scheme (other programs & people' a lot more familiar do that). Already he has probably been responsible for a whole housing estate of people's non eviction in the face of the uninspiring speculative,profit motive so prevalent in, to the detriment of, the world today (Westbrook Estate). <br />I like the fact that he does not make excuses in his life as to why he can't try something. <br />You don't have to make excuses if you are honest ( ...& with yourself first). Not making excuses is where clear thought & bravery come from.<br />There are terrible events & plans taking place in the world today. Inform yourself. Someone missing their own lunch for one day might start to wake them up to the fact that it is our own lack of responsibility, awareness & intellectual trial that allows the policymakers in this world to make the kind of decisions that leave millions without food...or homes. We do live in a democracy & our decisions do make themselves felt.<br />Our leaders DO represent us..They always have!.....& that says it all....<br />Damning us in the process!.<br />I don't believe that stuff about the 1% controlling us. The 1% 'control us' because they get the support of the 50% who would like to join their ranks...(but who never will because the system only takes 1%. There is only room at the top for 1%...'dog eat dog', & that is not civilisation....& wise up).<br />Russell Brand is being a model democratic citizen, nothing more. The benefits in his life are not stolen, it's just that other people give you more when you try a bit harder to think & act on it publically. It makes you more sexy too.<br />I like what Russell says because it mirrors exactly what I think. That is why I share his work. <br />He also makes me laugh, which is a blessing in these times..XX <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7867015.post-27981357563703536402015-01-04T12:09:37.318+00:002015-01-04T12:09:37.318+00:00Funny and well written, but really, the basis of y...Funny and well written, but really, the basis of your argument was that your lunch was made cold.
