Sick of getting screwed over

[RickyRetardo]

I have been screwed over by all kinds of people so, so many times, and I am tired of it.

Americans talk a lot of smack about other countries being full of crooks, but we need to look at our own house first.

I have been cheated and lied to by doctors, landlords, vehicle dealers, employers, and so-called friends again, and again, and again in my life here. It's not my fault, and I refuse to accept responsibility for other people being liars and cheats.

There is something wrong here when so many people can take someone else's money and lie to them to get it.

I have no choice but to TRUST other people sometimes. It's not my free decision, because I need employment, medical care, housing, and transportation. I do not have a choice to not have these things, unless I decide to give up on life. So I can't just decide "trust no one"--you can't live in society that way. For society to function there NEEDS to be trust, period.

Doctors have lied to me about the risks of procedures and medications. Dealers have sold me defective vehicles. Landlords have lied and said I damaged things I didn't damage. Employers have shorted me on wages and even physically assaulted me.

Contrary to popular belief it is NOT easy to sue people in America. Suing people take a lot of time and money. I don't want to have to sue people! I want to live a human life without having lawsuits all the time. But I don't want to get screwed out of my hard-earned money by all the cheaters that are EVERYWHERE.

I want a normal life, to get what I paid for, and to not keep getting constantly f*cked over every few months. It's out of hand.

At this point I am afraid to do basically anything because getting cheated and shorted is the rule, not the exception. Something is not right.

Humans are naturally despicable creatures. The only positive influence on humanity is a good religion. So join a good religion and try to deal with members of that religion.

All the good guys are gone...Taken out....Good Guys DNA itself is becoming extinct...All that is left is selfish, parasitical, vampiric peoples DNA passed onto next generation....They are mutating and this virus of greed, lies, cheating, cunning etc is spreading.

This hierarchy of deception goes beyond the level of humanity itself.

Its much darker than even the craziest conspiracy theorist would have you believe

There are good people on earth, but this darkness makes sure that they would never meet. How wonderful it would be, if all good guys stay in one place and all the bad guys in another. Actually, good guys don't need much, many can live on a small island, however, this darkness is greedy and vampiric...It needs the energy of good people to survive, that's why the chaos and mix.

Everything is one big giant BS. Everything is a lie. This planet is for some other reason than what we were being told all our life, that's why it does not make sense when people lie, cheat for personal gain which is self-destructive in the end.

This realization has made me sane and be what I'm. The world is totally, completely different than what we are been told, our whole existence, purpose is different than what we think it is.

Self-realization is a good way to let go of bad vibe in humanity. Dig Deeper onto your self. You do not know what you are capable of. You will be amazed with what you can achieve.

Look Inwards and Evolve. You will gradually begin to become free. Good Luck

Invariably, you have habits that allow this beyond just random chance. That does not mean it is "your fault". Some people will typically be robbed or mugged. They have habits that allow it.

- Keep as much of your life as possible within a secure network of men that have earned your trust and respect.

- Beyond that circle of trust, the first outer ring of defense is quite simple. The roving predators
must have reason to fear you. Not only could predators suffer legal consequences, they must know
that if they attack you or your loved ones, they might die. A Taurus 44 magnum Tracker is a good
choice. I use it. It is compact but pacts a huge wallop...makes thugs piddle their pants. If you are
willing to kill actual attackers, it tends to create a force field with ripples that go far.

- Develop radar for scammers and con artists. Conduct yourself whenever possible in a manner that
makes them not want to deal with you. Even sleazy types often feel danger in dealing with a
a dangerous foe. Learn to "fight dirty" as needed. Burn down cockroaches as a matter of course
when they cannot be avoided.

- Build wealth within your circle of trust that will enable you to defend against the masses
predators out there.

- The BIG one. LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES!

_ Build excellent relations with those close to you. It strengthens your spirit and increases your
ability to deal with all the slime balls. It gives you clarity- Good vs evil.

- Wherever you are, start there.

My solution is a bit more simple. Everything must be DIY in this country. Worried about additives in food? Buy raw ingredients and cook it yourself. Even better, grow a garden or pick wild food. Do all your own car and house work, and leave mechanics only the stuff where buying tools to do it at home is prohibitively expensive. I didn't like that the only jobs I found were working for shady companies with shady bosses, so I (eventually) paid $200 for an LLC and started my own business. Don't like college so I'm going to get most of my credits via examinations and not by going to school.

Everything pretty much is a scam in this country, it's a side effect of having a "service economy." No goods are created, and the way people describe such an economy as working is like perpetual motion. People instead of making goods that cannot be made at home (like a TV) and then selling said goods instead make much less complex things, like pizza and burgers, and less complex services, like auto repair or home improvement work. The economy would collapse in an instant if people just decided to start doing most of these services themselves. Also, the price of goods is artificially cheap now due to outsourcing, so now for the most part it is infinitely cheaper to buy even the most complex tools to do a job compared to paying for the labor to be done for most things.

So my solution. Just don't participate. It doesn't mean you never go outside, but it means living a VERY different lifestyle than your peers where you try your best to not pay for services and only pay for goods. I do almost all my own auto repair work for example, if you do the work yourself, it cuts costs enormously. A water pump and timing belt job on my car cost $90 in parts and about 10 hours of labor. A shop would charge $700-900 for this job. You sacrifice 10 of your own hours to save you from working 40+ at your job to pay for said service.

Besides my somewhat weird economic theory, the other thing too is simple. Just say no. For example I had a muffler put on my car, I couldn't reasonably get it done myself as I didn't have a welder. I called the shop up, he said it'll probably be about $50 but to "just bring it down!" He put the car on the lift and wanted at first, $300, due to some piping rusting where I told him it was on the phone and he still insisted on a $50 range. I bought $75 with me, based on what he said on the phone, in full sperg mode of believing what people say. I kept saying no, and told him I only had $75. He said the lowest he'd go is $120. I told him to take it off the lift and I'll go home. He did it for $75. Meanwhile, the same shop, I saw a lady in her car with her muffler melting her bumper cover. I told her this and she said she heard the sound but thought it was "normal.". She said she paid that shop $1000 to put the muffler on her car. And the shop for $1000 did it wrong, and she seemed about ready to cry. Meanwhile on my other car that's muffler job needed no welding, it cost me $30 for a muffler, clamp, and hanger, and the process was done in 20 minutes.

Very simply, if you want to not get scammed, everything needs to be done yourself, everything needs researching, and you have to be willing to say no to people and be super cautious if you're paying someone else for something. This does royally suck, as you have to spend some of your free time working, either actual work as in cooking or car repair, or work in just researching, but would you rather work a month's of wages to pay for a scam?
