@ITNetworkGuy1 @Courtneyscoffs @WallStreetApes The topic is: You said you’re ‘screwed’ becomes home prices are high.
I agreed home prices are high, and went on to show you are demonstrably not ‘screwed’.
Where’d the topic shift ?

American says they she will never be able to afford a home because every home in her area is $500,000 to $1,000,000
She says even looking for something very basic, there is nothing under $500,000
“I cannot fathom ever owning a home. I cannot fathom ever not living in an apartment — honestly, it feels like one of the worst timelines to ever be dropped into this sh*t because everything is so expensive, and I hate that word, but everything is so expensive”
We have to bring back home ownership in America

@HeapBigMuckMuck @Courtneyscoffs @WallStreetApes Just because your generation was abused and told "your feelings don't matter, stop complaining," doesn't mean the upcoming one needs to be treated like crap too when they express issues or complain about issues.
English
@HeapBigMuckMuck @Courtneyscoffs @WallStreetApes now what? your biggest issue seems to stem from the "old school" toxic mindset that because you had things that your generation also struggled with but was never allowed to complain about it means that toxic trait needs to continue on. That needs to die.
English
@HeapBigMuckMuck @Courtneyscoffs @WallStreetApes But to answer your red herring toppic shift from the OP...
no... we dont. Just because we have amazon prime and smart phones does not mean we are living on easy street

@ITNetworkGuy1 @Courtneyscoffs @WallStreetApes You are not ‘screwed’!
Not only are you not screwed, you have the easiest life of anyone that’s ever lived. (Aside from home prices. One generation in one country had it better than you)
Aside from that crippling, life-ending catastrophe, you live easier than ANYONE.
EVER.

@BasedMikeLee yeah... and gas prices nearly doubled and home prices skyrocketed... no point in having kids when most of our checks go to survival.

The U.S. birth rate continues to decline this year, even after the record low in 2025:
February 2025: 275,165 babies
February 2026: 269,258 babies
That means that there were 5,907 fewer babies were born this February than there were last February.
America needs life—and more lives!
Governments have no business telling people to have more kids, but wherever possible—and especially when facing rapidly declining birth rates—they should avoid policies that needlessly make having children more difficult and expensive.

@ITNetworkGuy1 @Courtneyscoffs @WallStreetApes Do you realizes you live with more comfort, more wealth, more safety and ease than literally ANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE EVER LIVED ON EARTH??? Literally EVERY human that ever lived??!!!
(Except for ONE generation in ONE country……so your mad) 🤔
No. I don’t get it.
English
@HeapBigMuckMuck @Courtneyscoffs @WallStreetApes Oh, and the reason why I know for a fact that this is the case is because I happen to live in a house that was built in 1951 and the estimated retail value of it would require me myself alone to make over $120,000 a year to be at the same income to home value.

@HeapBigMuckMuck @Courtneyscoffs @WallStreetApes Do I have ideas on how to fix things? Yes, but are you willing to admit things have gotten overwhelmingly expensive and the next generation is screwed?
English
English
@HeapBigMuckMuck @Courtneyscoffs @WallStreetApes Homes are now about 4x what they would have been for my parents, college the same, and social security (the scam it is) will likely be bankrupt in 10 years... but yeah the next generation gets screwed on everything and your answer is "grow up".
English
That isn’t what I said.
I said, “I bought the best house in could afford in the best area I could afford, and then commuted as far as I needed to to obtain a good job with good pay.”
That got me a good home and a good job.
What has the incessant whining gotten the millennials?
Answer: A job at McDonalds and an apartment in a slum.
Grow up.
English
@HeapBigMuckMuck @Courtneyscoffs @WallStreetApes about 5-6 years ago homes DOUBLED in price. That entry level home that used to cost 125k goes for 250k today all because a bunch of idiots over paid for homes when interest rates were 3% and people paid more because the they could "afford the payment" rather than the total price
English
@HeapBigMuckMuck @Courtneyscoffs @WallStreetApes ahh the old "I had it worse so don't you dare complain" comment. Ok boomer.
English
@Courtneyscoffs @WallStreetApes I drove 35 miles each way to work for 26 years.
Don’t wanna hear it.
Whining never did nothing for nobody.
Figure out your circumstance and take some responsibility for your own life.

@Imogen_Cecil @SSWorks I just submitted a community notes against their post using this very post!
English
@SSWorks Stop skewing numbers. Billionaires do pay 12.4%, but only on the first $184,500 of their wages, the same cap that limits the benefits they receive in return. That is called "fair".
English
We pay 12.4% of our income into Social Security.
Billionaires pay .0002%.
Billionaires are not paying their fair share.
Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren
Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos shouldn't be paying the same amount in Social Security tax as someone making $175,000 a year. Billionaires are not paying their fair share.

Grok is the AI to use if you value truth
X Freeze@XFreeze
Grok 4.20 Non-Hallucination rate improved to even higher than previous highest Just days ago, it hit a record-breaking 78% Non-Hallucination Rate - already #1 in the world, smoking Claude Opus 4.6 (max), Gemini 3.1, GPT-5.4 (xhigh), and every other major model Now, it just pushed that number even higher to 83% While every other AI confidently makes up stuff and fabricate answers it doesn't know - Grok simply says "I don't know"

@AubsLoves2Dance @SenWarren Just say you can't articulate your position. People like you are exactly why Charlie Kirk did his tours

There's nothing foolish about not wanting $4 gas and another forever war in the Middle East.

Q: What do you say to Americans who are not fans of the war? TRUMP: They're foolish

Boomer here. I bought my first house after ten years of saving like crazy. And the interest was 14.5%.
I don’t know where kids got the idea that they were due a house and new car at college graduation, but that’s NOT how it ever was.
heretical lakeloon@loonlake55
Too many young people are resenting Boomers, claiming that Boomers had it " easy " financially in their youth. Here are a few fun facts about growing up Boomer. 1. Almost everyone grew up with one bathroom. Mom, Dad and all 3-6 siblings. 2. If you did get to take a vacation, you drove. With no air conditioning. No cup holders. No iPads. Just black vinyl seats and bologna sandwiches. 3. There were no club sports. No Parks and Rec activities. Summer camp was for rich kids. Get yourself a bike, a stick and a few friends. If you were bored, you laid in the grass and looked at clouds. 4. You ate what was served. Even if it was chicken livers. No DoorDash, no backup Totino's rolls. 5. No AP classes, no PSEO, no "fun" elective. They assigned you to a class. You went. You did what they asked. Or else. 6. Unless you had rich parents, you had a nice VFW wedding. Maybe rent a room at a modest hotel. 7. Most Boomers got their first pedi and mani in their 50s (when their feet got farther away). We didn't even know people got massages in real life, only in Hollywood. 8. You packed your own lunch for decades. 9. No one knew what red light therapy was, a facial, a spa day, or a cold plunge. Your gym was the YMCA. Usually in a rather old building. 10. We grew up with 18 percent inflation, 14 percent mortgage rates, 3 million continuing unemployment claims, and 200 other applicants competing for the same job. Now, this is not to say Millenials and Gen Z have it easy or don't face problems. It's just to say, nobody has it easy or doesn't face problems. My only hope, as my mom would say, is I live long enough to see my kids' kids complain about how easy they had it!
