OPRAH WINFREY NOT HARMED BY WALMART CRISIS, DOESN’T OWN ANY WALMART STOCK. EARNEST MANN’S: THIS IS ALL ABOUT YOU! PC.2
The Hard Truth About Job Security and Corporate America – What You Need to Know
Hey folks, Earnest Mann here! Today’s episode is inspired by Raymond from Chattanooga, Tennessee, who’s facing a tough reality—Walmart is shutting down locations, and thousands of people, including him, are losing their jobs. But the bigger question is: Are corporations and the government really looking out for you?
Are You Playing a Rigged Game? Understanding Corporate America’s Reality
I break down a brutal truth—employment is a game, and it’s designed for most people to lose. Many believe corporations care about their workers or that the government will step in to help. That’s a dangerous fantasy. The truth? When the chips are down, corporations will always put profits over people.
The Key to Breaking Free – Stop Playing Their Game
So what’s the solution? Stop relying on corporations to secure your future. Instead, you need to build something of your own—a product or service that belongs to you. This is your only shot at true financial security. If you’re stuck in a job where you’re waiting for a raise, you’re already at a disadvantage. The corporations have their own sign for you: “Work or starve.” The only way out? Be your own boss.
It’s Time to Take Control of Your Future
I know this advice isn’t easy, but it’s necessary. If you want to stop being a corporate pawn, you need to develop skills, take risks, and build something that belongs to you. Because when you work for someone else, you’re always one bad quarter away from being disposable.

00:00 hey folks thank you for being here people have a hell of a lot of problems and what I talk about here are your life problems no politics no religion I just want to remind you though I am not a licensed therapist I'm not claiming to be one so if you need a professional you should get one but what I can tell you is I'll try my best to help you because this is all about you and with that let's jump into today's story I wanted everyone out there to know that I try my very best to give you advice to help you but please don't send
00:48 me a long list of all your problems it's really overwhelming let's keep it to just one issue at a time okay okay so this question CES comes from Raymond from Chatanooga Tennessee and this is about the latest news of the large number of Walmarts that are about to be closed and of course that means a large number of people are going to lose their jobs the reason I have the picture of Oprah Winfrey is to bring attention to that billionaire did you even know she's a billionaire and those other poor damn bastards who only
01:30 have hundreds of millions that really don't give a damn about the tens of thousands of Working Poor this will affect or in this country so Raymond I understand from your letter that you are a full-time Walmart employee and I totally sympathize with your situation but before I go into giving any advice on what I believe might help you there's something I need to clarify put yourself in my situation A person can give the best damn advice in the world but if the other person doesn't follow it then it's as though the words
02:13 were never even spoken the advice is falling on death ears so listen to what I'm about to say don't have death ears there's a guy out there on a Friday night heading to a club and he knows the neighborhood good and bad very well he can't help but notice a very attractive woman just ahead of him turning right into a darkened alley starting to walk down that alley the guy quickly calls out and stops her warning her not to go down that alley wherever she's headed he tells her it's not a
02:50 safe area to stay on the main streets which are much better lit or she could walk with him she tells the man she SP she knows where she's going in other words she completely ignores his advice and keeps going the guy shrugs and says to himself okay and keeps going he feels bad but his conscience is clear he tried to help unbeknownst to him the woman does in fact end up being brutally raped in that illustration the guy headed to the club on a Friday night it's me the fact is raymon it can be very depressing and disappointing when you
03:36 tell people the same thing over and over again and they keep ignoring you but I'm going to tell you the flip side of this that no one wants to speak of because it's not very nice now I'm not saying that this applies to you in particular Raymond but what I'm saying is that that when it really comes down to it the fact is many people get exactly what they deserve because they live in an alternative reality and in that alternative reality the bad things that end up happening to them in life have
04:17 nothing to do with them that they don't bring it on themselves and that they should be immune from the consequences of refusing to listen to reason again I'm not saying this is necessarily you but what I am asking you is to reflect on your own life's decisions to honestly admit to yourself if you did in fact up and promise yourself not to do that again now the easiest thing for me to say is you never should have put yourself in that position you're in in the first first place but I've never
of course hindsight is always:05:47 your personal lives for that matter but I can tell you Raymond that this is general advice that could pay off big time in your future one thing you absolutely have to get very clear in your mind is that this employment game is just that a game and it's a game that's intended to have very few winners and the vast majority or losers think of it as a huge Casino if you will despite all the beauty Glam and glitter its only real purpose is to take your money and the house ensures this by always having the house
06:35 advantage if it all possible stop playing their game generations of Americans have now been totally brainwashed and convinced that to one extent or another corporations and their subsidiary the United States government is here to take care of them this could mean employment housing subsidies the list goes on but of course this is a fantasy the reality is that other than just very few exceptions when the chips are down the corporation absolutely doesn't care about your life and as I said the same is pretty much true for
07:20 the corporation's subsidiary the United States government so the sooner you get that into your head and stop having the expectations of a child child and actually expecting them to really give a damn unless you hit the lottery nothing in your life is really going to change my final advice on this and as I said before this is all going to depend on all the factors in your life age gender skill sets life experience perhaps most importantly drive you must have some fire in the belly however you do this in whatever
08:04 way you do this you have to have a product or service that is yours For Better or For Worse that is the simple fact of existence at this time you must become the boss because that way you will never deny you for a raise not standing around in a group of disaffected adult children carrying signs crying out to the media cameras we want our rights they pay now equal RS now because the corporations have their own sign for all its wave slave children go yourselves wave slaves get back to work or starve and be homeless
08:57 now I really hope that helps you Raymond anyone else out there please subscribe as for me well until next Monday or Friday I'm Earnest and I usually always am
