@BackupS19947 @NotAzehara This country has a long history of blaming immigrants for economic problems instead of addressing the people actually controlling housing, wages and policy. Every generation gets told “the outsiders are the problem” while corporations and investors keep buying everything in sight

@_dakidL @NotAzehara The thing is, you're saying it's either one or the other when the reality is both of them can easily be true at the same time. Just because illegals and corpos are deliberately create a supply shortage that is raising costs, doesn't mean people are not also wasting money.

@BackupS19947 @NotAzehara You can budget better, but you can’t budget your way out of a structurally broken housing market.

@BackupS19947 @NotAzehara “Both can be true” only works if both things carry similar weight. Someone wasting money on takeout is not remotely comparable to corporations buying housing, stagnant wages, zoning restrictions, and decades of underbuilding.

@lthlnkso The real lesson isn’t “hard work doesn’t matter.” It’s that ownership and influence matter more and people who defend that system usually make their money protecting it ideologically too.

@lthlnkso Funny how your entire argument accidentally explains why people with capital dominate society. Hasan makes money from an audience. Bezos makes money because he owns the infrastructure, labor, and platform millions depend on.

"Working hard" is not how you get rich. It's not why people give you money. Hasan doesn't work 20x harder than a teacher, why does he make 20x more? You get money by providing something people want. Hasan entertains people, so they subscribe or donate to him, buy his merchandise etc. Similarly, Bezos got rich by doing something people wanted. Customers want to shop from their phones or laptops and have stuff delivered and people want to rent computers. Those things make Amazon a valuable company. Investors want to own a valuable company so they buy shares of Amazon. Bezos provided a great many people stuff that they wanted. They paid Bezos in exchange. As a result, Bezos has a lot of money. Nobody paid Bezos because they thought he worked super hard. They paid him because he gave them something they wanted more than the money they paid. If I want to have a ditch dug and worker A will use a spoon and B will use an excavator, I am not going to pay worker A more even though it will be much harder work!

Hasan Piker: “Jeff Bezos is nothing without all the labor that allowed him to become a billionaire. Jeff Bezos was unbelievably and immensely lucky at numerous points in his life. I’m sure he worked hard, but you know who else works hard? A fucking teacher, a nurse. Probably a lot harder than Jeff Bezos ever did”

@_dakidL The same people that overspend on food are also overspending on other shit. A good amount of people who cant budget for shit and have no impulse control end up wasting thousands a month. Many of them could put that money into savings or into actually paying a mortgage.

@NotAzehara You keep acting like the average struggling worker is blowing “thousands a month” on luxury spending instead of getting crushed by rent, healthcare, childcare,insurance, and stagnant wages.Bad budgeting exists, but you’re treating extreme cases like they explain an entire economy

@NotAzehara Caleb literally said on the Iced Coffee Hour podcast that he pays his employees enough to live and even gives them $15 a day for food. Why? Because budgeting alone doesn’t solve affordability if wages don’t keep up with reality. 😂

@_dakidL The food thing is simply a budget thing. People are overpaying on food and Caleb's show often highlights this issue.

@NotAzehara If deporting migrants was the magic solution then housing would already be affordable in areas with declining populations. Housing prices are driven by supply shortages, zoning laws, corporate ownership, interest rates, and homes being treated like investment assets

@NotAzehara Interesting how we went from “people are just bad with money” to “housing is actually a structural problem.” Glad we finally moved past the “just cook at home” talking point. 😂 Getting rid of illegals will not bring housing cost down lol 😂 what are you in elementary school?

@_dakidL Housing is a problem, getting rid of the ilegals and that one bill that just passed preventing corpos from buying up single-family houses will alleviate the problem.

@2FloridaMermaid @peterjhasson Previous generations also bought homes on a single income, had lower tuition costs, stronger unions, and cheaper healthcare relative to wages. You romanticize the hardship but ignore the economic conditions that made that hardship survivable. 😂

@2FloridaMermaid @peterjhasson You turned “the economy is unaffordable” into “lazy people order DoorDash” because it’s easier to mock people than address why millions working full time still can’t comfortably afford housing. 😂

@2FloridaMermaid @peterjhasson Nobody said “cooking is too hard.” The entire thread is about wages not keeping up with housing, healthcare, childcare, and food costs, plus the reality that people working doubles, disabled people, and exhausted workers sometimes rely on convenience food.

@2FloridaMermaid @Massasplinter69 @peterjhasson So people were struggling under Biden because groceries and housing were expensive, but now suddenly the problem is just DoorDash? Interesting how the affordability crisis only becomes “personal responsibility” depending on who’s in office. 😂

@StrangerJosh11 It’s hilarious watching their political messaging go from “Make America Great Again” to “if you eat more ham sandwiches, maybe you could afford a house.” 😂

Berating younger generations when the median age of all home buyers has gone from 31 to 58 over the past 45 years is not a winning political strategy.
Josh, Mountain Respector@StrangerJosh11

The whole $28 lunch discourse is annoying. Yes people should save more, yes they should not spend frivolously. But if we ignore the very real affordability issues young people are facing were going to end up with dumbest socialist policies imaginable.
