@preactionarylad @annamlulis I was wondering how many posts down I'd have to go yo see your of you worthless MAGA inbred fucks post something like this.

@annamlulis Look how those kids look like mongrols and nothing like their mother even with more White admixture

@Level9Labs @imfat Ok so based on your numbers of 30 years ago and the average rent increase over that time period being somewhere between 100-120%, that same $1800 place would now be $3600 a month, well past the $3100 figure, this isn't even counting normal inflation Thanks for making our point.

I can show you apartment listings across the United States for under $1,000 a month. You choose to pay $3100.00 a month, just like you choose to have granite countertops, a brand new apartment, a Tesla in the driveway and $100K in the bank saved by 25. You all need to look in a mirror before you try telling an entire generation that we're out of our minds. Your talking to a guy that moved into his first apartment at 21 years old in Bethesda, MD, outside of DC, directly behind the tiffanies building paying $1800.00 a month + $300 for my parking spot and I had an old ass 1 bedroom apartment, this was 30 years ago. Try again!

Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.” No, you didn’t. You didn’t pay $3,100 rent and $10 eggs. You didn’t graduate with $60K debt and no job security. Gen Z isn’t dramatic. They’re drowning.

@America26708000 @imfat If you think the plan from the investment industry is to let people buy those homes instead of banks/commercial investors you're sorely mistaken. Mark my words, banks are going to shadow lobby laws to try and get homes we inherent from boomers taken/made too expensive to keep

No one should take on that much debt, thats poor financial management, take responsibility for your bad choices. Home prices will be solved in 5 years, boomers will age out, their homes will go up for sale w/ a fraction of buyers. Prices are going to collapse, rent will follow. Eggs are not $10, you can buy a dozen for $1.47 right now, if youre paying $10 again youre wasteful.

@shy_ferg @imfat Ok, given that 1.50 an hour seems like a lower income job (depending the years obviously, but with the rent pricing im guessing) that'd put you at around 350 a month at 60hrs. Rent was 250...starting rent now in most places is damn near 2000...

@imfat We made 1.50 an HOUR. Our rents were between 250-500 a month. No we aren't the same. We made it work. You can too.

@JamesStavrcxvs @imfat My grandparents bought a home of my grandfather's income right after high school. No one is suggesting that generation didn't struggle, but it was at least obtainable.

@imfat Those people lived through all kinds of shit with no societal safety net.. and never once cried victim.

@ReformedSlice @RevivedThoughts Lol. Why would I care for a random old person? Like I'll care for my parents, family, etc. I love and care about them. But some random old fuck whos ruined this country? Someone else's problem

@RevivedThoughts Yep. Prepare for a younger generation who will NOT take care of us when we’re elderly. God will, though. Pray for our nation and this generation.

This is truly more disturbing than people realize. It's one thing for people to disagree with each other over politics. This is so far beyond any of that we don't even realize how bad it is. A guy was shot in cold blood for his views. His widow has been dragged non-stop. His movement has been attacked by conspiracy theorists. A moment of unity was shattered into pieces. Constant jokes against him and memes and music have been made at his expense. And now they're literally using the sound effect of his death. His actual death! As a soundtrack to a joke. I can't think of something that further describes how lost as a people we are. Imagine Martin Luther King Jr.s death being made into a joke or a shirt or a song. Imagine people using the death of JFK, Abraham Lincoln, or other famous people as a punch line. It used to be considered inappropriate to joke or laugh at evil people's death. Saying they deserved Hell was considered impolite, even if it was true. People would argue about feeling joy or celebrating at the death of Saddam Hussein, for example. Now we watch as millions celebrate, cheer, and use a person's actual death for video clout. Regular, everyday people who have been so calloused and turned towards hate for others that they don't even realize what they're doing. Scripture predicted a day would come when the "love of many grow cold." I fear for the future if we can grow much colder than this.

@FlorenceKitty @Imardarkseid @CarmineSabia To be fair y'all elected a rapist to be the president so I think you might need to sit down on this one

@Imardarkseid @CarmineSabia He’s said plenty. I’m focusing on rape apologist

Democrats want to win so much that they will overlook the fact that Graham Platner is an actual Nazi. The kind they have been saying they want to fight for a decade. It is not just the tattoo but what he has said about minorities and women. But they will overlook all of it. Democrats have no principles other than "win at all costs."

@FreebushJo52077 @doggintrump What's going to be your excuse when those jobs are all either pushed onto other workers for no higher pay or replaced by AI?

@doggintrump If we get rid of all the illegal immigrants in the country, we could have better paying jobs for American citizens.

Think of it this way Many people in the country are making minimum wage $7.25/hr for a 40 hr week is $290 a week Most people are paying $4.50 for gas now and lets say they have a 15 gallon tank & only fill up once per week. Thats $270 per month for gas Now these people also pay taxes. So that means about 25% of their take home pay goes to gas The GOP has fucked most americans

@avidseries What's wild is that if you drop some of the progressive social things and run on extreme anti-corporate economic liberalism, the GOP has zero actual shot at beating them. The GOP have become corporate apologists and stooges, this should be a layup for the left

The GOP's problem isn't so much that it's too conservative, but that its leader is repellant (and much of his inner circle retarded). The Democrats' problem, on the other hand, is that, on some very important issues, it is simply too liberal for most Americans. Actually, "liberal" isn't even the right word. Crazy is the right word. Literally all the Dems have to do is become more normal on immigration and "identity" issues, and they would pummel a MAGA-oriented GOP in national elections.

@fixournews @TheLaurenChen If the economy is going to be equally as horrible under both, id prefer we dont have a dumbass thats starting wars in Iran then

The economy is mostly the same as it was under Biden but I think Americans trust Trump more. I could be wrong but I think Americans are more happy that woke politics is over, even though the economy didn't fully recover yet. We just wanted the trans insanity to end, which it has. (For now.)

Everyone's saying a housing crash is coming. Consumer sentiment is in the garbage. Yet odds of a recession are declining and stocks are up. Am I missing something?

@SouthernMB82 @FenrirDesigns Yeah like, there was just a massive ocean here with no land before the whites got here.. Totally wasn't a population of people here before we got here...

@FenrirDesigns America didn’t exist until settlers built it.

Call me racist. I really don’t care. These statements are factually accurate: A black African man who moves to England can never be English. If he is born there, he still won’t be English. He may have citizenship, but he will never be English. An English man can be born in Japan, but he will never be Japanese even if he gains citizenship. A Syrian man can be born in Germany, but he will never be German. An American born in India will never be Indian, no matter what his birth certificate says. An Indian man born in America will never be American. He will have American citizenship, but he is not American. His ancestry was not involved with our founding or subsequent development. He is neither a white Heritage American nor a Foundational Black American. No one from India is American. Everyone knows it, many are just suddenly afraid to say it. I could go on and on with more examples. It does not change the fact that what I said is correct. Why progressives, and even many “conservatives,” have forgotten basic logic and want to deny history is beyond me. Genetics don’t change with the whims of politics.

@frankiem63 @TDevontaT @60Minutes What do you think is more expensive: making 2-3 healthy meals a day or cramming down a 1000 calorie burger for $7 twice a day?

@TDevontaT @60Minutes Take a look at 75% of the people you see everyday as they waddle down the street and tell me they can’t afford to eat.

“We've stopped making babies. We've decided that being distracted by a dopamine hit around Candy Crush might be a good way to spend your time. Not if you're a full human," former Sen. Ben Sasse says in an extended interview. cbsn.ws/4cA1Jrp

@JustJane315 @CaptainFloyd73 Im from California. What exactly does MAGA offer us? Sure, this set of Democrats dont offer much but both of these GOP dudes boil down to "Democrats bad" with zero ideas as to how they're going to lead a state where they will have to compromise.

@CaptainFloyd73 I see you are still a victim of the indoctrination. My deepest condolences.

California Democrats have absolutely nothing left to offer the middle class except for more fraud. So instead they double down on hateful rhetoric, and boldfaced lies designed to make you afraid of 'MAGA' boogeyman. While trying to convince you that truth is actually just a right wing talking point. Californians need to throw off the yoke of its feckless Democratic oppressors before they drain us completely dry.

@kangaroo_c64766 @Govindtwtt Thats interesting because costs have skyrocketed yet somehow no one at any step of the supply chain has a living wage. Except the executive class and sharholder dividends of course.. Hmm, wonder where that extra money went...

@Govindtwtt Everyone wanted living wages. When there are 5 or 6 steps in the supply chain, it trickles down to the consumer. Not so fun now, huh. Higher wages bring higher costs.

Every subscription goes up. Every bill goes up. Every necessity goes up. The only thing that doesn’t go up is the paycheck. This is why people are stuck in abusive homes, working themselves sick, or collapsing from stress. This economy isn’t just failing. It’s harming people.

@SC_LFC_ @JesseHughesNC Why impeach? If they win both houses we can just starve him out. Hold up money, appointments, anything he wants to do. That fuckers got till 28 and he's leaving, might be best to let him throw Twitter tantrums like a child.

@JesseHughesNC Way too late for that. Iran is a pandora’s box and Trump has no clue what to do other than warnings and extensions. It’s a disaster. On the bright side, when we lose the House because of him the Dems will likely look to impeach him.

Despite the dooming that is common here, there is a path to victory. - Get the war over soon (although prolonged ceasefire with no action may be enough) - Focus on affordability issues - Exploit the Dems radicalism (i.e. Virginia) - Play State of the Union clips of Dems refusing to stand for anything 24/7 - More MAHA reform - Keep deporting illegals - Pass the SAVE America Act

@_SolutionsParty @MacFarlaneNews They're going to need to re-work the concept. These statues aren't nearly fat enough to be Donnie.

@MacFarlaneNews 9) Get some experts from North Korea to help make and deploy Trump statues in every city and town

Updated list of US House GOP bills that would honor Trump 1) Carve his face into Mt. Rushmore 2) Rename Palm Beach airport after Trump 2a) Rename Dulles airport after Trump 3) Require State Dept to award a "Trump Peace Prize" 4) Declare Trump's birthday a federal holiday 5) Award Trump a Congressional Gold Medal 6) Mint a $250 bill in US currency w/ Trump's image 7) Several resolutions urging Trump be given Nobel Prize 8) Directing N.I.H. to conduct research on "Trump Derangement Syndrome"

@nickstruglia @SAJ_Collection @BenjaminDEKR But we know thats now how its going to work.

Vietnam's the classic counterargument, but that draft let rich kids buy their way out with deferments. That's the problem Karp is actually solving for. Everyone goes, or the whole logic falls apart. And yeah, the border situation is real. Karp's literally building the software enforcing it. But his point is that you don't fix a fractured society by abandoning the institutions that hold it together. That's not a solution, that's a surrender. If the barbarians are already inside, the answer is to get serious about who we are. Not to give up on the idea entirely.

Palantir calls for a national draft (???) "National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force"

@BenjaminDEKR It's self preservation. He knows what's in-store for the richest in this country if everyone is replaced by AI. We all kinda know.

I am genuinely curious what changed so dramatically that Elon went from "inflation and government spending will collapse America" to "government should write endless checks to all Americans and this will create deflation" in, like, 14 months The supposed reason is "AI" but that didn't suddenly emerge in the last year. Yet his views on this have taken a full 180 in that same timeframe. To the point that it sounds like a different person entirely. Still have not seen a coherent explanation.

@justalexoki Companies that no longer have to pay any labor force? I mean they're going to be pulling in insane profits once their main expenditure is gone in labor.

so there's about 3.5 million truckers in the US. I assume ~all of them will be unemployed as soon as autonomous trucks are deployed 3m*50k=150 billion dollars. a year. where is that money gonna come from?

@Zigmanfreud Lol. Elon believes this because he isn't an idiot. Who do you think the first to face anger and retribution will be when AI takes everyone's job. Billionaires. They know it so they're trying to make sure they survive it and the easiest way is to make sure people dont starve

This “Universal High Income” idea is SO catastrophically bad that it makes me question EVERYTHING about Elon Musk… This is unworkable, & would cause massive inflation, fundamentally destroying the incentive structure of our society (COVID Panic on steroids). I’d like to believe Elon has fallen for this idiocy because he simply doesn’t understand normal humans and he craves free time.
