another boomer who simply doesn't understand what the job market and housing market are like right now
two college-educated engineers that are unemployed
homes cost $500k+ in most medium sized metro areas now
living with your parents may have been a sign of laziness in your generation, it is not in my generation. Please be a little more understanding

Moving back home isn't a problem. Staying unemployed as an able-bodied adult living off your parents is a big problem. Being unable to get a job in your preferred field is not an excuse.

@mavi4mayor You know Molly doesn’t store in your spine right, try harder. If your life is that uneventful just be that little bro.

I didn’t think I was “smart” when my IQ was tested at 145
Nor when I scored a 760 on my GMAT
Not until seeing Google executives several levels above me try to articulate why James Damore was wrong in writing his Diversity Memo did I realize I was the adult in the room

BREAKING: Housing Australia says 48,000 non-citizen migrant first homebuyers have used 5 per cent deposit scheme. TAX PAYERS are funding homes for non-citizens. Absolute crime. news.com.au/finance/real-e…

Beyond greedy rent seeking there seems to be something else driving landlords to be weirdly invasive with their tenants' personal lives. Why would you require an adult with a job to not drink alcohol or have overnight guests? There is a de facto surveillance state for tenants.

Software developers are the 21st century equivalent of tinsmiths and scriveners, and even a mediocre artist or writer will leave more to posterity than the most accomplished programmer.

@iycrtylph Have to be pretty tough to be a homeless alcho, most just kill themselves
English
i think less about killing myself these days than becoming a homeless alcoholic, which is in any case a reasonable response to the situation many face in the context of generalized abandonment, lawless exploitation, and organized sadism that characterizes modern life
English
kind of hard to get motivated to do anything when you've got no good reason to believe anyone is ever going to pay you a fair and viable amount to do anything, no one's ever going to love you for doing anything, and you don't have any duty to others to do anything

@blondspit Ultra posh / underclass horseshoe theory:
Lots of children
Multiple marriages / affairs
Drink a lot
Drugs
Criminal records
It's only the middle classes who can't afford the negative life effects of all those things

Nobody wants to talk about how ultra posh families drink like absolute fish

The lack of interest in sperm donation is a truly bizarre mistake from an evolutionary perspective. Genetic million dollar briefcases of cash sitting on the sidewalk, and almost no men pick them up because "it's weird" or "it might lead to an awkward conversation in 20 years".

When I married in 1981 we both worked & most of our salary went on paying the mortgage as the interest rate was 15% at the time. Everything we owned was 2nd hand & we never went out for meals as we couldn’t afford to. We rented our TV Went to the launderette every weekend as had no washing machine. Only had new clothes at Xmas & birthdays as presents. We went without until we could save enough to pay for something. It’s always been hard whether you are young or old. So those out there that think we had it easy we didn’t. Our governments are to blame, not the old.

@bowtiedstocks MMT says inflation can be tackled by taxing more. My guess is what will happen is that prices will go up, but people will pick and choose what they spend their money on, so demand for many things will fall.

Normies will always think their house price going up in AUD is unquestionably a good thing
Hope you got a good wheelbarrow Normies !!

Remember the middle classes wouldn’t be getting excoriated if they had any agency.
They brought this upon themselves.
I could never understand their weak reliance/compliance mindset.
Once discarded by their masters they will be eaten alive from below.
While we carry on.
