@TonyHinderman @showtimehcky @Lee_in_Iowa Common sense proves that is not true. Growing up in the 80’s people were making 7-8/ hr. For the same job paying 20-25/hr currently. Hell when I was employed high school the average wage was 5/hr. Now it’s 15.

Boomer here. I bought my first house after ten years of saving like crazy. And the interest was 14.5%.
I don’t know where kids got the idea that they were due a house and new car at college graduation, but that’s NOT how it ever was.
heretical lakeloon@loonlake55
Too many young people are resenting Boomers, claiming that Boomers had it " easy " financially in their youth. Here are a few fun facts about growing up Boomer. 1. Almost everyone grew up with one bathroom. Mom, Dad and all 3-6 siblings. 2. If you did get to take a vacation, you drove. With no air conditioning. No cup holders. No iPads. Just black vinyl seats and bologna sandwiches. 3. There were no club sports. No Parks and Rec activities. Summer camp was for rich kids. Get yourself a bike, a stick and a few friends. If you were bored, you laid in the grass and looked at clouds. 4. You ate what was served. Even if it was chicken livers. No DoorDash, no backup Totino's rolls. 5. No AP classes, no PSEO, no "fun" elective. They assigned you to a class. You went. You did what they asked. Or else. 6. Unless you had rich parents, you had a nice VFW wedding. Maybe rent a room at a modest hotel. 7. Most Boomers got their first pedi and mani in their 50s (when their feet got farther away). We didn't even know people got massages in real life, only in Hollywood. 8. You packed your own lunch for decades. 9. No one knew what red light therapy was, a facial, a spa day, or a cold plunge. Your gym was the YMCA. Usually in a rather old building. 10. We grew up with 18 percent inflation, 14 percent mortgage rates, 3 million continuing unemployment claims, and 200 other applicants competing for the same job. Now, this is not to say Millenials and Gen Z have it easy or don't face problems. It's just to say, nobody has it easy or doesn't face problems. My only hope, as my mom would say, is I live long enough to see my kids' kids complain about how easy they had it!

I think Kamala Harris would be doing a much better job handling foreign policy than Donald Trump is.

@intelFromBrian I think its happening slowly, my local Walmart is having people just not show up cause gas is already too expensive for them
English
@TonyHinderman I’m just surprised it hasn’t happened yet
English
As soon as Gas becomes too expensive for work to become worth it, there will be riots
Brian’s Breaking News and Intel@intelFromBrian
Why has there been no protests at all in America about this war? Only 18% of the country supports it Where are all the protests? Makes no sense

If Democrats have no power why do they keep passing Republicans policies and confirming MAGA appointments?
Natalie Wynn@ContraPoints
I’m hearing that the plan all along was to keep the Democrats out of power, and then, once they’re out of power, to tell them to Do Something

but the Greater Israel project is a conspiracy right???
sarah@sahouraxo
BREAKING: Israel is wiping out entire civilian homes in the village of Taybeh in South Lebanon — a village that stood for over 7,000 years. Not a battlefield. Not a military base. Homes. An ancient village erased in real time.

@SwannMarcus89 have never once watched his stream live, what a stupid metric to use

Hasan Piker has an international audience and maxes out at like 70,000 concurrent viewers, with an average way lower than that
The only skill he has is self-promoting to the point otherwise sane people think his minuscule domestic audience is worth chasing politically
Amanda Litman@amandalitman
On Hasan Piker: He's not on the ballot! And no one is arguing candidates should *be like him* -- but rather, I'm arguing that's it's good politics to reach his audience. If you disagree, tell me your alternative plan for reaching anti-establishment young men.

If only Rogan or Tucker or Candance come up in your focus groups that means you're just talking to conservatives
Sarah Longwell@SarahLongwell25
Look, the dumbest thing about all this is that I didn’t and don’t care about Piker. Piker never comes up in focus groups with voters as someone they’re following—the way a Rogan or Tucker or Candance does. I don’t think he’s singularly making an impact on politics in any way commensurate with the attention he’s getting. But I care about Tim. I agreed with @Timodc’s original point that using Piker as a litmus test is dumb. Calling up Jon Ossoff to ask what he thinks about Piker is dumb. It is an unnecessary distraction. But I felt like Tim’s discussion of Piker was too dismissive of some of Pikers more toxic positions. And that was the part I wanted to react to. There’s nothing I can do about the fact that the internet distortion field has overtaken the whole thing. And that people are debating my views in a way that is totally divorced from my actual, very-well documented views. That’s just part of what happens when doing this work. The only thing I can do is keep saying what I actually believe. And what I hear voters saying they believe. But politicians can reach voters who are angry about the Iran war and even about America’s relationship to Israel without going on the stream of a guy who said America deserved 9/11. But, it’s also no doubt true that he’s being elevated by the whole conversation and the right answer to questions about him should probably be “Piker, who?” Because that’s what most voters would say if you asked them.

@SarahLongwell25 All this for the book 😂 dude come on! stop shilling your product and have a good faith conversation
English
More progressive is a bad debate! It’s not connected to what voters actually want. Because progressive and centrist politics are categories we use to define terms to each other. The voters broadly don’t care about any of this. Anyway, it’s a good book. You’ll probably like it.
English
One of the funny things about kicking the DSA hornets nest is how much I’ve learned about my own role in formulating the game plan for Kamala’s 24 campaign. Apparently I was in charge! I organized the Cheney event! Dude, there’s hours of tape on this, go back to 2024 and it’s
Sean@demsocsean
My main takeaway from this was the revelation that Sarah has a book coming out on how to defeat MAGA when Kamala lost following her exact game plan (down to campaigning with Liz Cheney). Tim Miller is only Never Trumper who has actually truly thought about what happened in 24.
English
Two things are true:
1. Hasan is a bad faith actor who hates liberalism & wants to destroy the Democratic party
2. Thanks to years of ignoring the online landscape, hostility and incompetence by Dems, few Liberal creators have his massive audience
Unfortunately, Tim is correct

@Pony_Rapist @Aelthemplaer light traveling down a tube = fiberoptics
English
@Aelthemplaer No it's not. It works by reflecting the light off its walls, hence why fiber optic cables can bend. Also the image transmitted through fiber optic cables is flat unlike in this video.
What's shown in this video is how walls work: you can't see an object if it's blocked by wall
English
This is how fiber optics work basically

I missed how every Dem leader went on Hasan Piker's show to make this happen.
Just like there are very few Dems on Joe Rogan and Trump is still dropping with young people.
The truth is no podcaster controls whole blocks of voters. This debate has become divorced from reality.
