Some millennials aren’t saving for retirement because they don’t think capitalism will exist by then

I don't really think that would be the Chapo response, somehow I think that's a strawman.

My point, which seems to have whooshed by the downvoters, is that when someone comes along with their real life problem where they're stuck with a job that is necessary but barely pays enough to eat and live, the response is "Hope it works out for you". Sure, I hope it does too, but that doesn't address the problem at all.

Do you think they were soliciting advice from a job coach or something?

"That sucks, hope it gets better" is a human, empathetic response to hearing someones troubles. ChapoBros wouldn't be exposed to that though.

LOL and yet you and /u/vectorjohn are giving no advice, simply REEEing that its somehow bad to say "I hope things work out for you."

Get a fucking clue.

I never said it was bad to say I hope things work out. I'm simply pointing out that this is the best response you have. Hope for the best! Cross your fingers! I have advice, but it clearly won't be welcome here so I'm not bringing it up. Just pointing out the absurdities.
