@PeterBerezinBCA Change it to purchasing power from wages and compare that to productivity and the last 10-15 look way worse. Productivity in this graph is illiterate government spending that’s never going to stop regardless of tech advances or if it’s beneficial to majority of society.

Elon Musk's proposal of 'universal high income' to combat AI job losses baffles economists: 'So wrong on this' trib.al/OMUOuCz

English

@elonmusk Correct is crazy, u just admitted u want to run the world by depleting the entire economy, destroying everyone’s ability to earn income except the oligarchs with the cheap robots, as compensation for stealing all the physical jobs humans have relied on for milleniums here’s UBI?

@3371Williams @theficouple Ya stalling in the short term is not crashing, it would have to be a long term stall. Might take 5 years to see it play out. Desirables areas like NYC still holding up demand but how long will parents be bailing out their kids to afford these prices.
English

@Joe08527103 @theficouple Price is stalling. But stalling is not a crash. At least for desirable areas*, maybe crashes will happen in some weird areas (and/or Florida)

@elonmusk They’re all in China, the government refuses to allow capitalism to occur. Teslas are overpriced/don’t resell. You took away the best feature to own, full self driving, and made it subscription only because you know it’s your only leverage in the automotive market. Car is shit

What happened to all the Tesla killers that legacy press and hedge fund short sellers predicted were coming? 🤔
Captain Eli@TheCaptainEli
Tesla alone sold 117,300 EVs in the US — more than ALL other EV makers combined (99,099). GM + Hyundai + Toyota + Rivian + Ford + Lucid + BMW + VW + everyone else… still couldn’t beat Tesla’s single-quarter numbers. Tesla outsold the entire rest of the industry by over 18,000 vehicles.

@ProfBZZZ She can read bro, professors just assign to much work shut up. Why do you want us to be more capable than prior generations? To make less? To own less? To just get replaced by AI anyways? Grade inflation is the minimum these kids deserve considering everything else got inflated.

A student today at my elite university admitted to me today that she took a class so she could work on reading for more than 20 minutes at a time. She can't read. She mainly skims and summarizes, she says and still gets A's.
This student is, by professional standards, illiterate. Gonna have high GPA when she graduates.
This conversation was had after 6 of 22 students dropped my course because the maximum reading per week in one week was over 100 pages.
What people aren't grasping is that this is literally *dangerous*. These people are going to be come doctors, engineers, etc. They are - by any metric - vastly less capable than prior generations. These effects are cumulative over a lifetime.
This grade inflation is part of the problem, but not even close to the entirety. And the problem obviously starts in K-12.
Students don't know history because, you can't actually become historically literate on the advice of 'never assign more than 30 pages a week'. You can't develop any of the skills that came with literacy. This is, quite honestly, a civilizational catastrophe.

79% of grades at Yale are A-range. Graduating summa cum laude requires a record high GPA OF 3.98.

@UziCryptoo Ya any boomer who doesn’t see that Gen Z is priced out of being able to earn and provide everything for themselves is braindead and delusional. But I mean they been that way their whole lives, that’s why they’re boomers lol.
English

My boomer uncle paid for college working summers at a gas station.
$1,200 a semester. Graduated debt free. Bought a house at 24.
Told my cousin last Christmas: “You kids just don’t want to work hard enough.”
She works two jobs.
Has $67,000 in student loans, for a state school.
Here’s the math he won’t do:
His gas station job in 1974 paid $2.10/hour.
>Minimum wage today is $7.25.
>Tuition has gone up 1,400%.
>His wages went up 3x.
>Her debt went up 14x.
He didn’t work harder.
The math just worked for him.
It doesn’t work anymore.
English

Boomers worked hard.
Nobody is disputing that.
They also inherited an economy built by the Greatest Generation that priced homes fairly.
Funded universities publicly.
Protected workers legally.
Taxed wealth progressively.
Then spent 40 years voting to undo all of it.
By the time Gen Z arrived the ladder was gone.
They didn't pull it up.
They sold it for parts.

@AliceSLondon @kokeshimum Again you’re intellectually dishonest. 1990 n 1991 were the only 2 years before 08 where the housing market was negative at end of year. 30 yr mortgages wit 10% rates were the exception, 15 yr mortgages were standard. National home price was 3.2x household income, now it is 5x.
English

@Joe08527103 @kokeshimum Having your property repossessed (as many were) or having to find £45k to cover the shortfall on a joint salary of £18k & mortgage with a rate between 10-15% is not a lie, out of touch & delusional.
It was a struggle and taught me a lot about living within my means.
English

@StockMKTNewz This is not true, if you want to do anything but LIVE in nyc. If you want to own a home, travel, save, or invest, double that income. If you want to be an nyc resident for name alone n live paycheck to paycheck ur whole life. 125k is fine lol. Fine for poverty!
English

@GoldenEye00715 @JimChuong You have a 3% mortgage rate, this obviously isn’t applying to you stfu
English

@JimChuong We live outside of DC and own a $900k home. The house is rented out to a nice family while we are overseas and we have a 3% mortgage rate. It’s a hardship at times but it’s been a great investment and a place to live when we are in the States.
English

@AliceSLondon @kokeshimum Main thing that most older generations do to harm younger generations is just lie blatantly. You’re complaining about a 90k house and negative equity when after 2008 prices went up for 18 years straight except for that little blimp during Covid lol. So out of touch n delusional.
English

@kokeshimum In 1991 most starter homes were just that - basic, boxy one beds.
Many of us ended up in negative equity & had to save to buy ourselves out of that (in my case losing £45k on a £90k flat).
Every first time home buyer I now know wants a 3-4 bed house.

@ElectionWiz “I don’t even do it for my daughters only for my sons so they can see women can be the center of a story” HOW ABOUT TELLING THEM A STORY WHERE THE CENTER IS A WOMEN THEN. Spewing nonsense out her mouth feel bad for her boys, clear indoctrination.
English

@Doomerzoomer So everyone knows this will happen and is just silently accepting it?
English

@allenanalysis The entire MILLIONARE CLASS is out of touch with reality for the middle class American. And yet we have BILLIONAIRES in this country, imagine their beliefs?? Renting today cost more then owning a home for 13 years of prosperity after the 08 housing crash. 2 decades left..collapse
English

Kevin O’Leary’s advice for becoming a millionaire:
“Take 20% of your $69,000 salary and invest it every week. Don’t touch it.”
20% of $69,000 is $13,800 per year.
The median American rent is now over $1,700 per month — $20,400 per year.
Before food. Before utilities. Before healthcare. Before childcare. Before transportation.
A person earning $69,000 cannot invest 20% because 20% does not exist after they pay to exist.

“Ryan traded on confidential information – buying shares ahead of the announcement of an FDA drug approval – and tipped others to do the same,” said U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton. “Trading on non-public, market-moving information in breach of a duty of trust or confidence is a crime.”

@SenWarren Notice the words COULD pay. If they introduced a wealth tax it WILL pay for none of the things listed and just enrich politicians. 34T in national debt wasn’t enough to make progress on ANYTHING LISTED.
