@akgonci @JDRockwellJr Again wrong, other people in my area has the same concerns. Peers making 150k a year is complaining about similar issues. You can keep moving goal post but you are in the wrong.

@redbug9254 @JDRockwellJr Money management is the other. So stop being a lil bitch and improve your situation instead of bitching about billionaires

How delusional do you have to be to post 100k+ mile cars that are 20 years old and costing $8,000, and think that somehow is proof that kids these days are lazy or entitled?
These were like $500 when I was a kid. That's 16x more expensive. Entry wages didn't 16x.
DOTP now!

This was legit a 5 second search on Auto Trader. All these cars have less than 200k miles. All under $7k

@akgonci @JDRockwellJr Business like IBM are being sued for discriminating against white men and its common in my field to see it. I am also making as much as electricians and slightly above my areas median pay. Career isn't one. Try again
English
@redbug9254 @JDRockwellJr Sounds like you made poor decisions all my kids are working and self sufficient.
Yes your decisions led to your issues, jeff bezos being a billionaire is not the reason you are struggling, your decisions are.
English
@akgonci @JDRockwellJr 2010 Honda crv and 2005 Prius use EPB and have to be put in service mode with a scan tool. Again your attitude is the problem.
English
@redbug9254 @JDRockwellJr If you have an electric parking brake obviously you are not looking at a 20 year old car. Also most electronic brake pedals are reset manually through pedal sequence🙄. Wait did you buy an Audi?
Retard I can tell you never worked on a car before
English
@akgonci @JDRockwellJr What if I have a second job? What if I am putting in more hours and sacrificing my young adult life to make ends meet? What if I followed you suggestions and it brings me nothing? At some point, the blame is not with me or my peers. Your malicious attitude is the problem.
English
@redbug9254 @JDRockwellJr Sounds like you made poor choices in life 🤔 maybe get a different job and a second one like we did in the 80’s and 90’s
English
@akgonci @JDRockwellJr No they wont, liability and the fact the repair would have to take place in their parking lot stops that. Anything with electric parking brake or direct injection needs special functions. 10 year old cars are older. Its 2026, not 2010.
English
@redbug9254 @JDRockwellJr Not true, you can go to auto one and they will reprogram it if you need, also most of these you can buy on amazon.
No older car requires a tablet to reset you are just spewing shit
English
@akgonci @JDRockwellJr I have to do all this because my job field has been flooded and my home has been wallowed out by previous generations.
English
@akgonci @JDRockwellJr I have replaced lifters on ohv engines, I attempted to rebuild a zf5 transmission. I have reupholstered interior parts. I never took my car to a mechanic unless tires or alignment was needed. Soon I will be repairing a frame.

@ironsoll @UtahFlatRanger I spent 5k on a roll over salvaged 160k manual tj in 2019 and that was a deal. Everything around me is rusted frames, 250k+, or mechanical problems. CJ and YJ included. 6k seems to be the starting point for YJ and 7k for TJ.
English
@UtahFlatRanger how much is a not totally fucked up straight 6 jeep these days? like 4k? painful but still better than the cars they make now
English
People are seriously pretending cars are affordable when a servicable used car used to cost slightly more than a Xbox 360.
English
@akgonci @JDRockwellJr To work on any post 2005 car, you have to know more than how to turn a wrench. Injectors needs a special function tablet, brake job needs one, module that controls your head lights and turn signal needs specialist tools to fix. Its not comparable.
English
@akgonci @JDRockwellJr In today's world you spend 3k on a car that need 4k in parts to run. Doesn't include schedule or preventative maintenance. We arent the same because you had it infinitely easier. Your cars was dead simple, over built, and affordable.
English
@funnygamedev I know a 2 person company that is at risk of losing a contract due to SAM insurance. Its a bit sad that they will have to spend a couple thousand in insurance for a job that will happen in an unoccupied building.

"hey my career path is destroyed the job market is shit I need steady employment"
"just start a business"
you need money to have that and I have none. you can't just build a company from nothing.
Chris Mathews@cdm813
@funnygamedev @MarkAugustGuy Sounds like you need to be a boss then. Start your own company like "the rich" have done. Take a chance. Have a thought.
English
@funnygamedev @littlejoeward @MarkAugustGuy Many people either refuse to understand or are ignorant to the idea of being black listed or red flagged for working outside a field or speciality after entering. That happened to me previously and might be a future risk with my current job. I wish you the best
English
@littlejoeward @MarkAugustGuy I haven't been employed in a year I need a job in my career path

we are the richest country in the world why SHOULD I eat like a peasant?
Ben Klayer@the_satellite23
Loaf of bread = $5 Peanut butter = $4 Jelly = $4 18 pack of chips = $12 Bag of apples = $5 Total = $30 And you'll have lunch for an entire week or two. $2-4 average per day. Inflation isn't the problem. Your spending habits are.

Living like Boomers did in their early 20s won't get you what Boomers were able to get in their early 20s. Flat out. You're not getting a down payment for a home by packing a lunch. Min wage in 1968 was equal to 1.8 oz of gold. That's $200/hr in todays $.

You can't complain about boomers having it easier in their early 20s if you aren't willing to live like the boomers did when they were in their early 20s

@CosmicV @TheEzMackGaming Notice how you left the footage out, i guarantee that thing is less than 900sqft

@CosmicV @TheEzMackGaming I'd love to see what the schools are like in the area where houses are under $200k.

@TheEzMackGaming First house listed on Facebook marketplace I pulled up. Move to a cheaper area.

We have seen our industrial, floral, and medical base be shipped off to other countries. Those effects will be similar to AI. I have personally seen automation replace jobs in the industrial plants. Automation so bad it needs to be baby sit or it will cause millions in damages.
English
>Everyone is revolting against AI and new tech because these people lack so much vision that they can't even see an apple when they close their eyes.
We have already seen AI cut entry level jobs. As AI gets better, it will encroach up the ladder
bumbadum@bumbadum14
There is literally nothing that encapsulates the fall of our "elites" more than the data centers issue. 140 years ago the industrialist tycoons of their time dealt with literal riots and revolts with more competence and effect than these people. Carnegie, Vanderbilt, and Ford built monuments, schools, universities, and concert halls that dwarf the lifetime achievements of these cretins. Everyone is revolting against AI and new tech because these people lack so much vision that they can't even see an apple when they close their eyes. How pathetic.
