  1.  @zhye5588  If you feel that way, go to Ukraine. That's a big one right there. It doesn't feel like that, because the West has only so far dedicated economy to it.

  3. Do you want to know why? Wages are not enough and even if you start working, your expenses shift. If you go full Gamer-Hermit mode, you can actually survive. That is why people are basically lying flat in the West as well as in China these days. I'm in that camp myself... well partially. I actually aggressively job hunt. But even then, In the last five years, I worked 28 months, because I either didn't receive proper training or my job was literally transferred overseas. So what am I to do? Cleaning? Who likes doing chores? Nobody, so do that at absolute minimum. going to interviews? Yeah, when I get invited, but conversion rates from sent CVs to invites is low and from invites to jobs even lower. So what rational option do I have other than gaming, particularly if I have a PC, that is no slouch, but didn't cost me arm and a leg? I can't job hunt more, because new positions for me to review and apply to don't pop up as often! I do a check once a week, reply to a couple dozen positions and spend some time in a week on actual interviews, but even then, I spend what twelve hours a week job hunting, because even a minute more would have been wasteful? (eg. I'd not send another CV due to the visible market being completely ran through). What am I to do otherwise in my spare time, than game? Really, the only reason, that I am still trying, is, that I have something to prove. I failed in getting laid or getting my significant other to reciprocate my feelings. I've managed to get a Bachelor's after five years of studies, but couldn't get to obtain a master's due to a combination of factors (primarily due to conflict with on site time, when working.) , so that was a failure too, because nobody cares about Bachelor's. The only field for me left, where I can prove myself, is work. But without that, I'd be just wasting away, nearly homeless doing just enough to survive too. Why try, when everything you do, is worthless to the society at large? The answer is simply, don't try. Waste away.
