@bluecfff @Govindtwtt You didn’t live back then.

Yeah back then you could afford a home and 3 kids just working a regular 9-5… now you need to have like 7+ years experience, good connections, just to make $20 an hour lmao… yeah they had it so easy, I work with a handful from that generation, 45+ some of them .. they are not hard workers

Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.” No, you didn’t. You didn’t pay $2,200 for rent and $7 for eggs. You didn’t graduate into $50K student debt and $0 job security. Gen Z isn’t dramatic. They’re drowning.

@FRFLAVNDTA @ShockValueXX @l_se0m Stellantis/FCA Jeep transmissions suck normally. Hard enough impact can potentially put it in limp mode. Literally seen them outright non responsive from *less*. Also, there are many unseen factors that y’all can’t see that I have *dealt* with.

@ShockValueXX @l_se0m I still don't get why people turn off their brains in that situation, driving forward doesn't even require driving through a barrier, almost all rail crossings have their barriers/gates at the entry point and none at the exit point...

なんでこうなるのか理解できないんだが...

@Brink_Thinker He was 100% “gentle” parented… he was clearly never the recipient of a clearly *much needed* yoke-up…

I still can’t imagine the thought process that goes into deciding to do this

@vibes_good80031 @MbarkCherguia Mans said “the speeder” on a race track and got mad he got called out on his terrible lack of perception 😂

@MbarkCherguia The speeder. But guess he's dead now.

Who’s in the wrong here?

@roxie_notes @Ladyoflegal @nickimoraa @KeruboSk So the affordability issue is nowadays a factor of where you live. Supply and demand still play one of the largest roles. When relocation comes into the discussion, people’s reactions are very telling.

@Ladyoflegal @nickimoraa @KeruboSk That only works when starter homes are actually affordable. For a lot of people now, that first step is already out of reach.

Hot take: I shouldn’t have to buy a cheap duplex or “starter home” that doesn’t suit my needs to get into the housing market. I should just be able to buy a reasonably priced home with a good yard and a few bedrooms like my grandparents did and keep it forever.

@roxie_notes @SciFiVeg @nickimoraa @KeruboSk The part of that first step that all the complaining ones pretending to be knowledgeable on this subject is that research is a huge key in looking for a home. Even apartments. It’s one thing my mother always brought up when I mentioned housing.

@SciFiVeg @nickimoraa @KeruboSk this is helpful context, appreciate you sharing how it worked for you. the path makes sense, it just feels a lot harder to get that first step now

@freaknfooln7 @middle_class_us @lsferguson Damn, and here I thought my Infiniti was bad here in CA… required premium gas and all. 46 miles round trip for work…

Dude I live in CA. Drive 30 miles to work with some traffic in an older 4X4. It cost me $300 a week for gas, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Eggs, chicken, veggies, cottage cheese, coffee, and apples. Add bacon for breakfast and steak for dinner on weekends. Where the hell you eating?

A normal day now costs $250. Lunch. Gas. Dinner. Nothing fancy. No splurging. Just existing. And people still ask why no one is saving.

@contractorsPOV @middle_class_us I live in CA, and even then, $250 can last maybe a week and a half… more if I’m not lazy…

@middle_class_us Where do you live? I want to make sure and stay away from there forever! I could eat on $500/month and eat good. If you're spending that per day, move.

@middle_class_us If a “normal” day costs you $250… that’s a SUPER skill issue. I live in CA, drive a car that REQUIRES premium gas and work overnight… even when I’m lazy and end up having to eat takeout, I go cheap. Skill issue. Nothing more

@modusjoe @ProudSocialist And seeing how you’re supporting the single digit IQ option in that LOSER’S case… says all i need to know about you.

@modusjoe @ProudSocialist So how do I change that? Destroy a fleet of $54k EVs? Or … novel, LOGICAL thought… apply for higher paying job? One of these is logic; the other is literal single digit IQ…

A worker in Ontario, California sets his company’s warehouse on fire and has a message for the CEO: “There goes your inventory. All you had to do was pay us enough to fucking live.” Expect to see more of this as people struggle to survive under our decaying capitalist system.

@allenanalysis Believing something someone says without any tangible, CREDIBLE proof just means you’re either disingenuous or foolish. Both of those require you to believe words simply because they fall within your confirmation bias…

Mayor Mamdani just said it out loud: "The wealth of a median white household in the city is more than $200,000, while that of a black household is less than $20,000." Ten times the wealth. Same city. Same century.

@OffByGame @MatrixMysteries You forgot two variables: geographical location and grocery store of choice. The only thing “cooked” about the current generation is where they get info from…

@MatrixMysteries A pound of ground beef cost $3.50 in 2019. It's $5.60 today. Butter went from $3.20 to $4.90. Everything in your cart is up 40-60% and your paycheck isn't.

An American tried to make real mac and cheese. Not the boxed kind. With actual ingredients. At the checkout, the total came to nearly $90. For mac and cheese. This is what “cooking at home” costs now.

@MatrixMysteries He says it’s for Thanksgiving. However, my issue is that unless you find the Original video on TikTok, you’ll never know that all that on the counter was for *50 people* … that’s NOT what “cooking at home costs for daily consumption. Y’all lovebeing dishonest for the clicks

@jeepdude1987 @jefflloyd951650 @MatrixMysteries Likelihood he’s not only here in CA, but look at the video… bougie ass cheese bricks. Bro exposed how bad he is at shopping while making this video

@jefflloyd951650 @MatrixMysteries No, not even close to the same, but I can make Mac and cheese from scratch like he's talking about for a family of 4 and have leftovers for 2-3 meals for far less than $90, but maybe he's in California or another state with very high costs of living?

@ZacksJerryRig And if you really wanna try me, I’ll go back in my replies and find your braindead take on mortgages

@ZacksJerryRig Zack…. 1973 War Powers Resolution… had you researched tha prior to this post… you wouldn’t have made this post… and looked like LESS of an idiot… you still look like an idiot in other ways… this just compounds your stupidity

It is illegal to obey illegal orders. It is illegal to obey illegal orders. It is illegal to obey illegal orders. It is illegal to obey illegal orders. It is illegal to obey illegal orders. It is illegal to obey illegal orders. Congress has not declared War. Pass it on.

@SenWarren It’s amazing that we have law makers that want to make laws regarding money… and don’t know how money works…

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

@wwwussup @FBAGoddess444 @tariqnasheed I miss when parents weren’t afraid to do this… shoutout to the ones that did/still do

@wwwussup @FBAGoddess444 @tariqnasheed You were raised soft… and you’ll pass that soft ass shit down… I was strong (but nowhere near that size)… and never in my wildest, most braindead dreams did I -ever- think to take a swing at my mom. When you’re raised by “I brought you into this world…” mother…
