I want to vent. This thing has been itching me for sometime now. It's now catalysed by these 2 hashtags #IkoKaziKe and #InternsNotBeastsOfBurden

THREAD
I read through a lot of tweets about this hashtag #InternsNotBeastsOfBurden and I would like to say some of you are either ignorant af or just want to comment to fit in.
For you to understand fully what this means, you need to first understand what the term "UNEMPLOYMENT " really means. Unemployment includes even those working but cannot afford the basic things in life and 2 beers every weekend is not a basic necessity.
When over 50% of employable population is unemployed, majority of that being the youth. It naturally means that it's us the youth who should be pressing the government to play it's part in handling this issue. But you know what, we are the youth fuelling this shit
I know some of you have seen the word "government " up there and have started feeling some type of way- you are the fucktads I'm talking to and you will realise as the thread progresses.
Most of you even older guys will just respond to this with, "but si you can start your own business it's not a must you be employed ", I want to say what a bunch of silly motherfuckers you are. You are ignorant. You think there's is a template to solve life problems where there..
...exists millions of variables that may render your template redundant. You have been served a fallacy over the years and you are drunk,you are full so you can't think properly.
They tell start a business, I have no problem with that at all. My worries are, do you have the knowledge to but most importantly is it the right environment and time to invest your life savings to an activity with no guaranteed returns on your investment?
This "start a business "fallacy is a idea with terms and conditions that you are not told but the government has them. The government wants you to fix it's inefficiency by gambling with your life savings. You remember those supervisers at work who present your projects as theirs
....? That's how the government is handling this issue.
There are a lot that goes on behind the scenes that doesn't meet the publics eye and again I will point fingers at ignorance.
There were some stories of existing currency notes that are backdated and you with your thick..
...head still thinks it's a good environment to start your start up?! The real truth-forget these cheers baba, holidays at the coast shenanigans you are seeing everywhere, the real truth is your marginal propensity to consume is diminishing.. Yaani, your purchasing power is...
...wickening. Even a marginal increase in your income will not see you afford the things you can afford now next year. Why? Because your money/real income or wealth is losing value.
Now here comes my question. Who the fuck do you think you are to successfully do a business in..
..an environment that government itself which has outresourced you,outsmarted you,disarm you and out financed you, cannot do its business of provision of essential goods and services? Look at health sector for instance, people are dying in cancer queues,ask yourself why?
It means it will a point where the population will only spend on essential goods and services. What is this you as a start up wants to sell that people must buy to live? Oxygen, life or human blood? You are now probably asking yourself "but people have done it before? "...
That is ignorance kemea hiyo pepo ikuondokee. "Not even those whose work is to make forecasts know what will happen next" Johan Norberg in his book "Financial Fiasco ". How brilliant are you then to make accurate forecasts in a turbulent business environment?!
As to the youth and other age groups with myopic views to this, I have issues with you.
During the past campaign period we saw a plethora of politically sponsored online campaigns here. I can't blame anyone for chasing that paper but my question for you is this....
...why you changing your twitter handles after the campaigns? You are ashamed of it all now? You supported a government that got into power not because you believed in their policies but because you were given few coins. Why the fuck can't hold them accountable and clean your...
...mess?! You are a coward. You own up and stand by your views you blaise compaore piece of shit. You continue to mess things then stay back and wonder why it's only the poor on the streets agitating for reforms (which your silly ass will benefit too)
Do you think such hashtags #IkoKaziKe, #InternsNotBeastsOfBurden etc and other medical appeals are fun things to do?
You think it's fun seeing your loved in medical appeal posters or carrying those "employ me" burners is fun?!
You have sucked the political dick for quite sometime but you don't have to choke from it. Your actions have consequences. We pay taxes, we are not asking for milk pipes and money vending machines in our houses, we are just asking for accountability and we will open those...
start ups and they will survive as going concerns.
And the mainstream media ain't shit either. You people discredit social media then lift stories from the same social media into your broadcast s. When an issue doesn't threaten your profits you avoid it as plague....
Like this unemployment issue, it's a serious disaster that just mention it like a cat video. What a bunch of myopic twats. When the marginal propensity to consume will be unbearable, your pay tv will be a luxury many will chose to do without,hapo ndio mtajua ata nyinyi hamjui
And this illiteracy is now about to get worse. You mean you guys just saw education ministry directing schools to use KLB only and y'all just watched it like a condom ad. Do you people know how much those kids are into? But it doesn't affect you right? Who will your start up....
...sell to when they perish? KLB is basically a rumour book, shallow af. Most of you were spoonfed in school so you won't understand. YOU CAN'T RELY ON KLB ALONE JAMANI. TUMEROGWA?! Then watu wanamaliza shule they can't think,wanasaidiwa tu kufikiria, inafika mahali wao pia...
...they start coming up with witchcraft paraphernalia and call them detox and slimming tea. You people buying these things but think Kanyari's congregation are crazy, you are the crazy one. Someone without any proven research comes up with a biological formula ati skin
....cleansing?! We,na kiburi yako unanunua tu na kusumbua watu na vlog here,vlog here,vlog everywhere? These are us the youth promoting nonsensical consumerism in a population filled with financial illiteracy instead of planning for the little we have. Scumbags those sellers too.
Unemployment is real epidemic people, you hear stories out here it's not fun. Some of us have stories we can't even share online. Just like police brutality, it will "only affect " once it hits closer to you. Jobs cannot be wished away just like that. We can have both jobs.....
...and small and medium businesses. They have stolen from everywhere including money meant for wheelchairs, don't let them steal your savings by tricking you into start ups in an environment not conducive for business.

The End.
