@necros111 Again, this weird default to middle school type bullying. Do you even hear yourself? How embarrassing it must be to be you.
English
@NotReallyABear2 Imagine thinking adding voluntary excuses all the evils the billionaires do in this world. And saying that with a straight face, even one as ugly as yours.
English
Imagine thinking the voluntary exchange of money for something you want is a billionaire “taking your money” while also thinking the person who handed it to you should be making $25 an hour.

Billionaires don’t steal my money, dipshit. Politicians and bureaucrats do. If a billionaire gets my money, it’s because I paid for a product that he or she has made.
English
@BladeoftheS I wish more people would understand that you don’t have to buy everything you want. If you feel like it’s a ripoff, there are always other options.
English
I wish more people would understand that Capitalism makes money by ripping you off, it's the easiest way, and it has always been like this.

@UtahFlatRanger @StealthMode987 I don’t think Biden ruined it for an entire decade, but yes it will take some time to clean up his mess.
English
@StealthMode987 We should have the expectation that One president won't deliberately ruin it for a Decade.
Expecting a Generation to wait a extra decade to buy a home and start a family is how you get further population collapse.

This retard bought a home four years after the Median age (29 he bought at 33) and now wants that to be the new minimum because he didn't want to work all that hard.
Many of my coworkers worked massive amounts of OT to get a downpayment then bought homes at 21-27 Machining. Below the Median(29) at the time.
Even if you work absurd amounts of Overtime, unless you get into Oil and Gas or Telecom the BEST you can hope for as a young man is buying a extremely small starter home at 30.
These people are fucking Losers projecting onto the next Generation. Every single one of them could have gone into the Trades at 18 and bought a home at 23.

Zoomers on here are like "I'm 27 and can't buy a $400k house or afford to spend $50 on doordash, the system is rigged!" Like kid, I had 2 roommates till 29, and then 1 till 33 when I bought my own house. Cooked and meal prepped 90% of what I ate for 20 years. Y'all are bitches

@omgsidewalks You’re right! Prior to capitalism, humans spent most of their time working to survive. Now they have a bunch of extra time to get anxious and whine on the internet.
English
Capitalism is only just a couple of hundred years old. Humans have not been paying to live or survive on this planet for thousands of years. Please understand this.

@hippojuicefilm @AELeighton2 Genuinely, you sound like you never grew out of the junior high bullying stage. What a sad way to live your adult life.
English
@AELeighton2 Of course you're a teacher. Listen here tubby, you tell me how not buying chipotle will help a zoomer buy a $400,000 dollar house that their boomer grandparents got for $45,000 working a job at Macy's. While at the same time paying $5 for gas to get replaced by an Indian.
English
"The reason Zoomers can't afford a home, gas or a wedding is because they don't eat beer can sausage every night!"
I was poor when I was young, but a double cheeseburger was $1.05. Fast food isn't the problem. God I can't wait until the boomer mentality is gone.

Dear Gen Z: Cooked my own supper tonight. Two brats ($3.00) boiled in a can of beer ($1.00) and seared on the grill. Two ears of corn on the cob (66 cents). Two diced potatoes, fried and seasoned (80 cents). Bowl of vanilla yogurt (60 cents). Glass of milk (30 cents). Total: $6.36 You idiots spent more at Starbucks this morning.

Hmm. Sounds like what happened to people who didn’t want to take the COVID jab. Interesting that coercive control can be recognized when convenient and ignored when not.
Not aimed at this specific person, I don’t know his opinions. But he’s speaking to an audience.
ً@omgsidewalks
“No one is forcing you to work at that job you hate.” I really do think you will find that the threat of starvation, homelessness, unpaid bills, and losing access to basic healthcare is fairly coercive.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

@_Spolar_ I never said anything devalued me working hard. My original point was that different generations have different struggles.
I just see you as one of the weak men creating hard times. Your empathy doesn’t fix anything, it just encourages self pity/victim mentality, which weakens.
English
@NotReallyABear2 Now factor in education being up 1200% and healthcare being up 1300% since 1980
Childcare is up 800-1300%
I could keep going. Stop acting like admitting it’s worse for kids today diminishes you working hard. Your life won’t change be acknowledged reality
English
@_Spolar_ America…Enjoyer?
You’re acting like a child. I never said I don’t empathize with the true struggles of each generation.
But too online twitter dorks complaining about not getting to eat out daily are hardcore on my nerves. If your kids are among them, you should be embarrassed
English
@NotReallyABear2 I went to Mt Sac community college. Then undergrad. Then grad school x2. Started working at 17 all through school. I’m a white guy from a middle class family & didn’t qualify for any meaningful scholarships
I worked hard. Kids today are still worse off & I expect better for them
English
@_Spolar_ Point of agreement: govt has failed. That’s kinda what government is great at.
English
@NotReallyABear2 Where did I say you were lucky exactly? My dad wasn’t lucky to buy his 1st at 23 either, he worked hard his entire adult life. It was just easier to afford a home back then
Kids having it worse than you or me doesn’t make YOU lucky, it makes THEM unlucky our gov failed them
English
This generation grew up so entirely privileged that they think real life is unfair a harder than anyone else ever had it.
EVERYONE struggled in their 20s. EVERYONE. It’s the building years.
You’re just not hardy, and you make dumb choices.
Govind@Govindtwtt
Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.” No, you didn’t. You didn’t pay insane rent prices and ridiculous grocery bills. You didn’t graduate into massive student debt and $0 job security. Gen Z isn’t dramatic. They’re drowning.
English
@NotReallyABear2 If u got ur education w/ no debt u had an WAY easier path to buy a home than kids today
I took on over $200k of grad loans. I wasn’t driving a Mercedes but I also didn’t live like it was the Great Depression
In the richest country to ever exist, I expect my kids have it easier
English
@NotReallyABear2 @_Spolar_ Im in my 40s and also agree youre talking shit

@dogsnfishing @Recursion_Agent This chart is nuts. Thank you for sharing.

Only six percent of boomers went to college. 34% of their children did.
The projected average retirement age for boomers is 69.
Home ownership rates have not changed.
skum@skumWgmi
THE GENERATION THAT COULD AFFORD A HOUSE ON ONE INCOME, RETIRE AT 55, AND SEND THREE KIDS TO COLLEGE DEBT FREE IS VERY CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR WORK ETHIC

@BaldurBoom I remember being so sad as a kid upon finding out that my family went to Taco Bell when I spent the night at my friend’s house because I missed it and we went so rarely.
English
@NotReallyABear2 Staple diet of potatoes, eggs, and cabbage, meat was the left overs from roasts on Sunday after Church.
We didn't have the wherewithal to buy food cooked by someone else and then get it delivered by an illegal.
English
@KPeteIMHO Well you see there was this shoe salesman in a sitcom on the teevee who owned a house so clearly that was how real life really was.
English
@NotReallyABear2 I’m amazed how people actually believe that I could buy a house working for minimum wage nearly 50 years ago. I barely had gas money.
