Workless in the 21st century

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has stuck with me through these past few months. It has been a whirlwind journey—while the road ahead is still uncertain, it certainly feels like I’ve reached a pivotal point.

For those who may not know, I spent the last 11 years working for The John Birch Society as an Area Coordinator. Recently, I made the difficult decision to leave in pursuit of better financial opportunities, as my compensation no longer kept pace with the rising cost of living. I was fortunate enough to connect with a member and former chapter leader candidate, who offered me an exciting opportunity in a completely unfamiliar field.

Eager to explore new possibilities, I accepted the role, with the promise of training and support. Unfortunately, less than 90 days into the job, I was laid off. While I’m unable to share specifics due to contractual obligations, I’m grateful to say that the decision was not a reflection of my performance.

So, here I am, unemployed. It’s a strange feeling—something I haven’t experienced since the early 1980s, when I was just starting out with little experience. Today, with decades of experience under my belt, I know so much more—but ironically, I find myself at a crossroads, unsure of the next step. This is also the one question I’m asked most often on job boards: What do you want to do? Can you say Ironic?

I’m not sharing this to complain but to reflect on what I’ve learned in these four weeks of unemployment—lessons you may not fully grasp until you find yourself in this position.

For those around my age, you may remember the days of filling out applications in person, where you had the chance to meet with a hiring manager face-to-face. Today’s job market is vastly different, and I think it’s important to highlight the changes.

First, the job market is tough. I didn’t truly understand this until I became unemployed. What’s more, artificial intelligence (AI) has fundamentally altered the hiring process. While some may see AI as a technological marvel or fear its dystopian potential, it’s now a major gatekeeper between job seekers and employers. Many résumés are filtered through algorithms, with only a small fraction making it into human hands.

On top of that, job boards are now filled with mandatory and often uncomfortable questions. One that stood out to me was, Are you Mexican or Latino? This question struck me as deeply inappropriate, and I believe it should be concerning to anyone, regardless of their nationality or color even those mentioned.

They also ask about disabilities and veteran status. While these questions may seem benign on the surface, I believe they point to deeper systemic issues. Unfortunately, many people don’t connect the dots between these trends and the broader societal changes we're facing.

Another concerning trend is the widespread corporate support for initiatives like DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), PRIDE, and globalist agendas. Whether companies explicitly state it or use coded language, these ideologies are becoming omnipresent in the job market.

In simple terms: if you’re unemployed and don’t have personal connections to help you bypass these barriers, you’re at a serious disadvantage. If you’re not part of a minority group or don’t fit into certain categories, the system may work against you. And if you don’t align with the prevailing globalist ideologies, your prospects are even slimmer.

While few discuss it, the influence of policies like Affirmative Action, and globalist initiatives such as Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030, cannot be ignored. These policies are shaping our society in ways that often go unnoticed and they are also intentional.

So, when you hear that there are “plenty of jobs” available, remember that hiring decisions are increasingly being made by computers, and federal intrusion, once again, is playing a role in complicating the process. This is all part of a larger strategy outlined in globalist agendas, designed to destroy the economy, abolish private property, and increase government dependence—eventually leading to the kind of “cookie-cutter” housing developments being constructed presently right under our noses.

Despite all this, I remain hopeful. I know God has a plan for me, even if I don’t yet know what it is. I’ve been told that this plan includes me, and for that, I’m grateful. While I’m uncertain about what’s next, I do have a strategy that I’ll share with you once the details are finalized. If you’ve noticed my silence recently, this is why—but I’m still here, and the fight continues.

In the meantime, if you know of any opportunities or anyone who may need assistance, and is willing to offer fair compensation, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

If you wish to know more about my strategy, I could share it with you, just know part of that strategy is fundraising and holding people accountable for their actions or inactivity in addition to showing people how to engage that don't know how.

Thank you, and stay tuned. The battle is intensifying, and your participation is needed now more than ever. Remember, no one will fight for you like you can.
