@@tidus9942 Lore in show in 1996 is that Homer made $25,000 a year. Adjusted for inflation, that equates to about $50,000 a year today. You can't afford a house and a family of 5 on that today, not even close.

You definitely covered a lot of pieces that are not being considered. I would also like to add the "rose tinted glasses" effect. Everyone seems to assume that no one struggled XX amount of years ago. Instead, simple statements are made that a house use to cost "$25000" and my grandpa who was a mouse farmer making 20 cents an hour lived so great! No... no they didn't. What our current people "REQUIRE" in order to meet their own living standards is insane compared to our more senior generations as well. Is there a lot of things that could use fixing? Sure. Solutions are also within the grasp of the individual but I posit that most are simply not willing to exercise those solutions. Relocate. Change fields. Get (a)nother roommate. Cut expenses. None of these things are the ideal solution but they are a solution. Or, we can keep waiting on governments to force policy changes that will also fail in spectacular fashion.

​@@Psycogenius what if relocating or retraining is unrealistic? And the budget is already worn down to the minimiums? I skipped roommates as thats its own entire conversation.

@@Psycogenius Both can be equally unrealistic. You're not getting me that easily. If only it were so easy to be able to make change occur. Unfortunately, to a lot of folks out there, it seems as though there is nothing to do but wait for better days. If you believe otherwise, then I suggest you work out a solid plan that anyone can follow. Don't excuse it off as something they should do themselves, if you really want to see them change and you think they could, demonstrate it by being part of that very change. The alternative is watching, predictably, as nothing changes, or those people fall further into extreme ideologies. For my part, I don't care if people are unmotivated or whatever. I don't care if I have to drag everyone kicking and screaming into a new era, I only care that things change at all. If the burden is too much, I say so, not overly focus on those who aren't pulling thier own weight. Once upon a time, I couldn't pull my own weight either, I will not judge.

@@chillinchum I am speaking from experience. The options are there. Many just write them off as "impossible" or as something they simply refuse to do. I am a millennial. I was going to college full time on top of working two full time jobs. The only "extra" thing I had was internet at my apartment so I didn't have to drive (and spend gas money) to do school work. I had 3 room mates in a 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment. I ate top ramen and eggs with bread pretty much every day. On good days I would take 1/8th a pound of cooked ground beef and put it in the ramen. One day I DECIDED to change my situation after being confronted with reality. I paid my bills on the 1st of the month and had 3 cents left over. I didn't have enough money for food or or to get gas to get to school for the next two weeks. That day, I implemented drastic changes. I dropped out of college, switched career fields, and moved halfway across the country. Almost instantly my situation improved. My (albeit small) student loans were paid off within 2 years. I bought my first house 2 years after that. There is almost always a way out. The first step is to stop making bad decisions. The second is to realize that you are owed nothing and that "fun" is on the other side of crippling anxiety from going backwards financially every month. I have done over 300 financial counselings for people mostly in their 20s. Nearly every single one of them refused to accept steps 1 and 2 as a necessary reality. Only once did I run into a session where the person was truly in an unwinnable situation. Ultimately, someone can always come up with a situation that is impossible to dig out of but the simple steps needed to get to the other side apply to and will help the vast majority of people. The rules are simple. Stop making bad decisions. Cut expenses. Increase income.

Globalization *in general* is why a lot of economic effects have taken hold of ours and others economy without much you can do about it

The strong anti-natalism that has existed since at least the 70's is another factor. And at some point it became the cope for why people could not afford kids. They "chose" it. Instead of being forced into it. And because of this anti-natalism has gone from being a minority view, to an outright majority view.

What can I say if US printmoney means every single economy just swallow the blow cause US dollar is the international exchange valuta. If other countries would use their own currency US would collapse in a minute the only reason politicians of US can abuse by printing value from thin air cause they are the last who will fall from the consequences, everybody else should buy US dollar if they want to trade globally so the burdens of that randomly generated value hack that they're using are on everyone not just on the US until countries start to refuse to use dollar as exchange currency.

this. You can't shelter teenagers and then the day they turn 18 they magically become an adult. You have to slowly introduce them to consequences of their actions and long term decision making or they will miserably fail as a young adult.

Those first two graphs in the six graph slide show an increase in self harm and depression for young girls and it’s correlated to social media use. Social media is harmful for teenage girls.

Indeed. Previous generations, particularly pre-baby boomers, were not treated with the kid gloves that we typically do now. If you were a teenager in the 50s or previously, you were working the farm during summer months when not in school. You were doing more chores, and trusted to go outside and and not get kidnapped(which honestly was probably not the best idea). Modern life in 'The West' is both a fairly new phenomena, and a luxury. We are seeing the beginning of the decline of a society that most people never think to fully appreciate, and the '3rd World', which seems so far away and something we take pitty on, will eventually become our reality if SOMETHING isn't done to course correct. I don't have an answer to what that something is.

Used to be that way. Kids were raised to be adults. Now they look at people in their late teens and early 20s like they're still young pups. They're NOT. Many of our founding fathers were part of that age group when America was founded, for Christ's sake!

He also said to take away their right to have social media. What happens when they jump into that ocean at 18? I don't think kids should have it but just like his "bad parenting" comment it's something that can be supervised and educated on. Prohibition proved that banning things makes it worse. Legalize Marijuana, it isn't cut with garbage. If you ban social media but it exists, the kids will find some other platform and the same dangers will exist there, if not worse.

A few months? 3 days, Work 3 DAYS in retail, you'll lose 20 IQ.

I've seen people pull up to a pump with their gas tank on the opposite side 3 times in a row. I've seen people ignore big, generous, and free parking spots just to block a pump and use the bathroom. No, they weren't getting gas. Yes, people who were getting gas were held up because of them. I've seen people drive forward and in reverse, heading in the wrong direction of a one-way street. I've seen accidents and near misses because someone failed to yield.

Idiocracy is becoming a reality. I see kids in their teens who don't even know how to tie their own shoes.

@@Cyber-Rain These examples start out extreme but turn into run of the mill mistakes. If you had a counter on your desk that went up every time someone failed to yield; you'd never drive again.

Overheard someone ask, "where do you get your Jersey Tomato's from?"

The demographic crisis is going to be Historic. Women wasting their fertile years chasing careers/Chadrone. Men checking the fuck out because of Divorce/Dating being dead. Open borders to try and kick the can down the road for a generation or two. Government spending on everyone but it's own citizens. Stagnated wages/lack of middle class jobs because of automation/globalization. Imma watch it 🔥

Im not the only one who experienced this same problem

Yeah getting my degree was basically you understand immediately or you fail. Not enough TAs and most professors dont give a shit if you pass or fail and dont have wnough office hours

News Flash--- The only people who care about degrees are other people who were tricked into getting a degree. No college degree and 6 figure income as senior software engineer from Fortune 100.

So true. Current honors stats student at a UC that transferred from a community college. I fucked up in high school and wanted to turn my life around. I’ll tell you that my community college classes on average had better teachers. They wanted you to learn. Professors at UC don’t give a rats ass if u do well. They don’t want to answer questions, and offload work on to overworked and underpaid TAs. There are some good professors and you must seek them out and cherish them like gold if u want to do well. Additionally, big portion of successful students with good GPA are taking easy classes they don’t need because they don’t wanna risk a hard class with a bad professor ruining their chances of grad school/med school etc

Community college aka trade school? Is it different? I heard people who went straight to trade did alright.

THIS.

His agenda is to shift the spending from social security to programs for young people, raise the minimum wage, etc.. Typical liberal stuff in the old school sense not the woke sense. The kind of spending and price setting that caused costs to skyrocket in the first place. The government spending a bunch of money no matter who it's on is the problem. Doesn't matter if it's spending for old boomers dick pills or young kids college it doesn't matter. The massive spending itself dilutes the value of the dollar and runs up the debt that later generations have to pay. 😅 It's like trying to smoke more crack even harder to break your crack addiction

We live in such a backwards, instant-gratification-obsessed, instinct-driven world, that anyone who displays the merest semblance of forethought and planning is immediately distrusted. I long for the days of the quill pen, back when men with far-flung agendas reaching generations beyond their lifetimes would _debate_ and _compromise_ and thus _unify_ behind these agendas, instead of pillorying each other for the sin of merely having them at all.

Well he is wrong about social security. He fell for the same kind of propaganda he is against.

Thats exactly what Europeans decades/centuries ago put up with back home and why they said fk it and decided to come to the new world.. makes you wonder if there will ever be another wave of people leaving for better opportunity elsewhere.

Yeah but where? Antarctis?

Pretty true lol politicians and billionaires are gatekeeping having a good life

Maybe the problem isn't that life is crap, but that there's no "other game" to ragequit to anymore.

Here's a little-known fact: Prescott Bush (HW's Father, and George W's grandad) spearheaded the plot to assassinate FDR to prevent passage of The New Deal. The plot was uncovered by a whistleblower, and NOBODY WAS PUNISHED. His son and grandson went on to become future presidents. At the very least, The New Deal saved America from the Great Depression (and potentially ended the Depression worldwide by massively increasing the supply of many important commodities on the market)

We nothing. The government did this under our noses. They didn't like Eisenhower because he was a true American.

My comments keep getting deleted, read quick and repost!! Americans are indoctrinated into the lie that if they're good little citizens,

if they just stay in their place, they'll be rewarded for their hard work and kindness with the "American dream"...and by the time they've realized its all a farce they'll be to old to care and lack the will to do anything about it.

HUH

The burger is also a time share... I get to bite it 3 months out of the year

Quit exaggerating. There is no way a burger will break $10k in the next decade. I bet it won't even break $8k, but that is still in the realm of possibilities.

​@@claybirdyshaw5737wagyu beef burgers are allready close to that

Not so far off tbh. In Argentina when i started working 14 years ago, the min wage was 1400ars and the big mac was going for 3ars, then 7 years ago min wage was 7k and big mac was 40ars. Today min wage is 221k and big mac is 4700. Thing can go crazy very fast, especially if the government prints so much money the exchange rate goes from 1 usd = 60 ars to 1 usd = 1200 ars in 4 years.

canada a single PLAIN cheeseburger is 11$

Interest rates were in the 20s a few years before I was born lol

the ones who clapped were the ones willing to admit it, which means more than half the room refuse to acknowledge that they literally ruined the world for their children and their children's children (assuming that generation will have any at all, which is highly unlikely at this rate).

No people were mad about it before social media took over, that's what Occupy Wall Street was about (and why the elites started distracting the left with race and gender stuff)

why old well off people hate it

And now a student in the Phillipines can work for a summer, for a US company, over Zoom, and get a years tutition at their local varsity.

It wasn't that good, would've been a 4 year old Mustang lol...

I don't know about that, but I did check the math on something similar: in 1969 if you worked a full-time minimum wage job, your annual salary was enough for tuition at a state college, books, and room & board for the whole year ...with 75% of your income left over. It seems like purchasing power has been eroded since then by flatline wage growth, largely a function of wealth transfer to the top, as well as price increases, also largely a function of wealth transfer to the top (albeit less directly).

@@mikesteelheart I would have to work 740 hours right now to be able to afford a 10 year old car.

Problem solved: Leave California (don’t go to Texas though we’re full)

@SLEAZEBAGJONES unfortunately they closed the Navy base and the big shipyards in Ingelside. I run a shipyard in SD since I retired from the military otherwise I'd be right the fuck out of here

California is fucked, people who aren't rich that live there are just in a death trap.

The problem is not isolated to Cali. Even low cost of living areas are no longer "low cost," or are only low in a relative sense, relative to high income areas where you'd EXPECT things to be expensive. I live in a bumfuck city in the south and my rent has gone up $300 over just a couple years (tiny one bedroom, btw), along with the increase to everything else. It's insane.

@@SLEAZEBAGJONES Florida is too

Today people can work 40h per week and not afford the fucking maintenance of such a car

Our standard of living is way higher than it was for boomers by every conceivable metric. Adjusted for inflation, a muscle car sold then would cost around $23,000. Cheaper than today? Sure, but also built to lower standards, less safe, and less reliable. But yeah, some quick math: if you make $15/hr, that would be 40 weeks of full time work to buy this car in today's money. In 1965, minimum was $1.25 and a hardtop cost $2427, so that turns out to be more like 50 weeks. Granted buying a mustang today is a lot more expensive, but that's because a mustang is now a luxury item, not just a huge motor slapped onto 2 tons of steel. Buy a new Versa for $17k.

Your right. The standard is way higher. But the cost of living is way higher too. Boomers just lived in another dimension

@@jesseparrish1993 Plus the population nearly doubled from 1960 till now

@@laillahilaallah001 The average home size has grown from 900 sq ft to 2500 sq ft. I rented one of those cheap boomer houses once, so I can tell you, it's not just a difference in square footage. Recent inflation is genuinely making things a lot harder, but prior to that, we've lived in a land of milk and honey. Now if you're trying to get your start, it hurts. I budget groceries carefully and stick mostly to Aldi's, and it's hard to see how I could spend less than $100/week on it, much less rent said house on top of it, and actually be able to save and get ahead. So there's going to need to be a cultural shift and some belt-tightening. I don't plan to boot my kids out to rent at 18: they can stay at home while saving up a down payment with our help.

Yeah I've worked in contracting. Landlords (scumlords more accurately) just buy houses and do the BARE minimum to make them sellable, then overprice them and people are forced to pay that price since it's still the cheapest around.

Home prices are artificially inflated by mayors, governments, politicians, homeowners, and groups such as private pension groups and such.

Made out of cleverly stacked sticks and walls made out of press board. Race to the bottom.

Very true i thought the world was a dark dark place… until I went outside then it was just a dark place

Correct. I am in my mid 30s. When I was a kid I had a lot of kids nearby to play with. I had 7 cousins, with 3 of them we spent around a 100 days together every year. Most of my high school friends moved far away, almost none of them have kids, and most of them never will. My sister has 1 child, my brother 0. None of my 7 cousins have or will ever have kids. I have 1. My wife doesn't want more, can't convince her in any way - she is lazy, entitled and hedonistic. My kid will not really have any friends as there are no kids in the neighborhood. He only has 1 cousin. His grandparents are really old, and will be gone before he comes of age. Technology, power, and wealth and the pill made wmn lazy, hedonistic trash piles who do not want to have kids. They are ending civilization.
