It's housing. That's literally it. No one can afford a place of their own. They can't put down roots or start a family. The housing market has already crashed. This is as cheap as it's going to get and Millennials and younger are locked out.

Why are we supposed to accept the loss of purchasing power or the inflation though? These phenomena have material causes we can reverse, firstly by rejecting the perverse incentives of high finance capitalism.

@RozDixie @revenant_MMXX I mean there’s a lot of nuance lost in these discussions. I think we can all agree it’s probably still cheaper to get good bread from a bakery and good quality meat, cheese, and veggies vs getting a restaurant meal from DoorDash?

@gxonio @AbHomineDeus Plot against surface area of owned homes
English
English
@gxonio @IBlackmailLands @Saulcialist @AbHomineDeus If that's per capita, it's a strong argument. Otherwise, are people just engaging in severe overcrowding now? Many minorities do it, but I'm not sure if that's representative of a larger trend, or just a quirk of their cultures.
English
@IBlackmailLands @Saulcialist @AbHomineDeus Based on what?
The median square footage has almost doubled since the Boomers were young adults.
Houses are bigger and more comfortable.
English
@gxonio @Saulcialist @AbHomineDeus It's not that 10% have gone from owning to not owning, it's that everyone is a tier worse than they should be. Their budget is getting swallowed to live in a crappy old house and still be house-poor.
English
You shouldn't be priced out of housing until middle age in the richest country of the most prosperous empire in human history.
Demand better.

@ljmontello I am GENX and could not by my first home until age 42. What’s your point?
English
Actually, you should leave and conquer your own world as soon as you can
LUKEY ✣@VERYKOOLLUKEY
Hot take but living with your family in your 20s is based It’s basically only a hot take in America, the rest of the world does I feel like this is why young Americans feel so much more financially unstable than young Europeans despite having relatively much higher buying power

What keeps people from having money in their savings is devaluing the dollar by 30% in only five years

@revenant_MMXX This is called the latte effect and it's more about how the every day splurging keeps people from having money in their savings.

@Chrysalis1999 @AbHomineDeus The average inheritance age in the US is in your 50s.
Gen X and Boomers are the ones doing most of the inheriting now and over the past decade.
English
@gxonio @AbHomineDeus Gotta wonder if the numbers for early age cohorts of Millennials and Gen Z is skewed due to inheritances.
English
Why is everyone so angry all the time
indrid@motormoder
No one is subletting your apartment for the summer pay your fucking rent while you go see mommy and daddy in whatever bumfuck shitty town you come from
English
@tvisgreat @Chrysalis1999 @AbHomineDeus Yeah, it's hard to visualize an age range in a chart like this. Can you provide something better?
English
@gxonio @Chrysalis1999 @AbHomineDeus You’re reading these charts wrong. Millennials aren’t 42 years old, they’re between 30 and 45. It’s an age range.
English
@Saulcialist @AbHomineDeus Not enough for the generation-wide despondency and pity wallowing we're seeing play out online.
The clean majority of Milennials are home owners, who also have a 10 year longer life expectancy than Boomers.
English
@gxonio @AbHomineDeus Older millennials came in right before the housing market skyrocketed; it's Gen Z where you're going to see it fall off a cliff
English
@disco___cat Yep. We're entertaining ourselves out of the gene pool.
jon io@gxonio
Cities are gene shedders. They're factories that take in DNA and cull it from the world. The mechanism is entertainment, distraction, and optionality. In a world with birth control, you need to be a little bored to reproduce.
English
and that's the biggest reason for the collapse in the birth rate. There's just way more stuff to do now with your time and money. I love my kids but they undoubtedly limit your lifestyle in a massive way.
Elaine Craig@ElaineC54590844
This is exactly how life was, no eating out, no going for coffee, no restaurants and no holidays either. It’s just the way things were, there was no disposable cash and no ‘canned entertainment.’ The world of expectation is very different now.
English
@matttitudinal You have never experienced true joy until you live in a place with a dark, cold winter and get slapped with that first sunny, spring day.
Peak euphoria.
English
a complete misunderstanding of what makes places with seasons great and the type of people who live in those places … you need the contrast babes

If Chicago had warm weather year-round it would be the greatest city in America. No debate.

That’s cool, but it’s a lot easier and cheaper to achieve the same effect with dating apps

Using CRISPR/Cas9, scientists have been able to create a gene drive that, in a lab setting, has proven to be able to drive a species to extinction. The drive forces the relevant allele to be uptaken by all of the organism's offspring. E.g. you can sterilize the entire species.

@dampajoo1 @thltd_ So what mechanism caused humans to evolve to be more intelligent than Chimpanzees?
English
@thltd_ Cutting the left tail off the bell curve would have no long term effect on the median IQ. Boosting the right tail wouldn't either, although the mean would increase a bit. Also paying people that are already well off to have more kids never works.
English
If you banned ≤85 IQ people from breeding it would, theoretically, take ~5 generations for national average IQ to increase by one standard deviation. This could be achieved in ~3 generations if you simultaneously paid ≥125 IQ people to have 3x more kids than the masses.
