47 year old here.
Shut the fuck up you lying shit.
By boomer standards I’m lower middle class as an engineer. I could theoretically afford a kid or two and a small house, and with two incomes we could even do that while having occasional vacations and retirement savings. You know, the sort of life that so long as you didn’t really fuck up you could afford as a boomer, but several years younger than me as well.
Stop buying everything. Trade shit. Food? Ok, buy that and nothing else. Let it all burn.
Grow and trade food
How much Starbucks do these rich assholes drink to think stopping that purchase would get me my own home?
Can someone make sure she’s already on the menu? Move her up the list a bit.
ok, avoiding starbucks is easy because six fucking dollars for a coffee so they can pay their CEO 6,660 times what a barista makes, just so he can fly between seattle and sfo DAILY, yeah, that’s easy, but that’s not going to transform the entire fucking economy.
what boomers faced 30 years ago? lol, record low interest rates, cheaper education, much higher % of union participation, help me out here what was the rough stuff the boomers went through 30 years ago?
NO FUCKING TELL ME I WANT TO KNOW
If a boomer was buying a house 30 years ago, they were between 32 and 50 years old. They were not buying starter homes 30 years ago. They already had equity.
they were complaining about the prices for their rentals probably
They had to watch women, black people, queer folk and transgender people exist and they were scared.
the horrors
Yeah probably shouldn’t be listening to this person
I guess I’d believe this if all the hard data didn’t prove it wrong.
Maybe I should become a conservative so I don’t have to bother with hard data anymore and I can just let an almost deceased obese felon rapist tell me what to think.
As always there is something in german to respond to this (especially to this thumbnail):
„Du hast ein Gesicht wie ein Paar Latschen: Reintreten und wohlfühlen!“
Roughly translated to:
‚You have a face like a pair of slippers: step in and feel comfortable!‘ but with „reintreten“, here: ‚step in‘, primeraly meaning ‚to kick in‘.

Eh, read the first little bit of the article, and bailed as soon as she was noted as saying stuff along the lines of “back then it was harder, because there were fewer desirable areas people wanted to live!”.
In other words, back then you had cheaper options in the other nearby areas, which have since become unaffordable for starter homes. Nowadays you gotta move out to the middle of nowhere, where there’re no jobs.
So idiot/detached CEO confirmed from my pov, her appearance at least matches her apparent personality.
I did, still poor. I get half my meals for free (food service) still poor. I split rent with 4 other people to the point where my bills are the lowest they’ve ever been in my life, still poor. Still poor, still poor and not making enough and everything keeps getting more expensive.
Some of us aren’t buying Starbucks you dumb twat. But bills still keep escalating. We don’t need just Luigi. We need all of the Super Smash Bros.
The 0.01% has stolen $75,000,000,000,000 from US workers over the last 45 years, but sure.
It’s really fucking weird for this article to not be pointed at Millennials. Not better, kind of worse actually, and very weird. Poor bastards have it worse than we did and they’re starting to become the punching bag for no reason.
It’s just the sign that us millennials have gotten old enough to no longer be the young adults that these wealthy fucks punch down on
Technically you’re talking about zennials, or gen Z’ers however you want to refer to them. Millennials (1980-1999) are actually pretty well off in comparison to
anyonemost people born after Y2K.I honestly don’t want to think about how awful it’s going to be for people born after 2010 when they reach adulthood.
Eh, I wouldn’t say ‘anyone’, but rather ‘most’. There are gen z in tech who made ridiculous salaries for years, salaries that dwarf the salaries of most in older generations. I mean, as an easy example I’m sure Big Balls and the DOGE boys made a killing fucking the government for Elon.
