I'm poor and desperate. Whose hiring? System is working as intended.

    The purpose of a system is what it does.

    Unless it's badly designed, in which case it does everything worse than intended.

    So you fucking murder people?? Why join the fucking military if that is your solution, you'd do less harm in the world just stealing what you need. I'm poor and desperate, too, but I'd rather starve to death.

    I get what you're trying to say, but I just wanted to point out that not every military job is boots on the ground killing people. They also have desk jobs and maintenance people and whatnot. Military bases employ a whole lot of people who will never see combat.
