Stop blaming people for the economic consequences of globalization they had no control over themselves.
Women were going to public schools and even colleges since the late 19th century
Low population, low employment rate of half the population (women), little outsourcing and limited black market labor ("undocumented immigrants") meant that an individual domestic worker was worth more then than it is now. The fact you presumably understand this sort of thing when it comes to inflation of the US Dollar or Cryptopcurrencies and not when it comes to other commodities is why you're not going to make it.

The reason boomers had it so easy was because of tight immigration control, feminism hadn't completely taken over and no free trade. This meant that there were more jobs than workers and companies couldn't import workers who would work for less.

Nice reddit-tier ad-hominem non-argument, retard.
Globalization did "take jerbs" and continues to do so, it also made some jerbs too.
This is a modern economic phenomenon, no matter how jet-setting stand up comedians worth millions of dollars like Doug Stanhope or the writers at South Park might want to make light of it or dismiss it. This is something that affects all workers
Black market labor drives wages down as does shifting production to countries with lower wages/weaker currencies, period. This is why most other countries have strategic tariffs in place to protect their domestic working class, their farmers and so on.
You print more money, the money already in circulation is worth less, you have access to more workers the existing workers are worth less, especially when some of these workers are playing by different rules than others.
you know those boomer car salesmen? Ever notice how some are ridiculously well off and others are stuck in the job with not much to show for it?
Let me tell you what it was like. Rewind back to the 70's 80's1 and 90's. Your chump salesman was making anywhere from 80k-100k. Your good salesman were making 100k-150k and the good ones were making anywhere from 150-250k with some freaks making more than that. Some 10% of car salesmen were making half a million a year (or more in today's dollars at a lower tax rate when everything was cheaper). These guys (if you were in the top 50%) were making more than doctors and lawyers without having to go to school. They made gross on new cars and put down payments on mansions with used car profits. The 90's to 2010 were the same but the pay didn't increase.
Your average car salesman makes 30-60k a year now depending on the region and your average new car loses a grand on the front end if you do volume and breaks even at most other stores.
People had way more money to spend, the cpi hadn't gone through the roof, and everyone was making stupid money.
The ones in management now are the boomers that stayed in. They didn't even have to be good. They just had to not die from substance abuse or make so much money that they retired at 40. If you could shake a hand and didn't have autism you could sell a car.
The entitlement from boomer car salesmen is incredible. That was one of the most lucrative professions as much as even a decade ago and most of them have nothing to show for it.

Boomer genocide now.
Clean out the 65+'s and pave the way for a new generation of Americans.
Only 65+'s that can demonstrate they have provided sufficient support and value to their offspring will be allowed to live. Any others which retained their enormous wealth to squander it on trivialities such as gambling and booze in their decrepitude, will be purged.
We cannot, we SHALL not be burdened by the generation of degenerates which looted our country and partied all the way down to hell. They will not pay...they will simply die, and go away. They had their time, they had their fun, they had their chance.
Yes, I am fully aware this wipes out a significant portion of our existing government, and that is precisely the point. They are irrelevant and stupid and cannot possibly fathom or keep up with modern technology and society. They are corrupt beyond belief and only seek to retain their position at the top of the ponzi.
No more. Never again. If you want to survive past 65+ in the future, you MUST create a trust and support for your children, equivalent to the amount of social support you will receive in turn. The exact amount you are able to provide to your FAMILY and GENETIC LINEAGE is in turn the precise amount you will receive in social support.
If you cannot meat a minimum, it's off to the pasture, for a year of R&R then a visit to the gas chamber.
Boomer Genocide Now. The movement starts here, in this thread. We ARE BGN.

Our population (almost) doubling since the 60s isn't a policy, women in the work force wasn't necessarily a policy either, rather a cultural thing. If you were alive at that time there's no way you'd imagine the idea of your girlfriend or wife working affecting your own wage or otherwise becoming a liability in the far future. Outsourcing was never "not allowed"; the world had just become more connected by that point due to the hostilities of WW2 being abated and trade between nations accelerating rapidly in ways it wouldn't have in their recent past.
I guess I'm sympathetic to an extent because Boomers didn't have the internet or social media to mobilize them or tell them what to think, they had the television networks exclusively, they were taken for the same ride that many of our generational peers are today. We just happened to fall into a different kind of social media where we can discuss the merits and demerits of ideas-all ideas-without restraint and in tandem with pictures of anime lesbians or whatever, pretty much by happenstance.
Boomers worked and voted every 4 years while the frog boiled in the pot, never thinking things could get as bad as they are now until they already were. In the end all we're doing is victim blaming, we all know it's really the GLOBALISTS' fault
jej i really can't tell if this is some bored neet baiting people or if it's a woman who literally cannot comprehend nor formulate an argument to save her life

Imports basically doibled the amount of cars being sold. More supply means more competitive pricing. Asymmetry of information decreased with the internet. shit is super competitive now. Also, regulations drive up the costs of things and people are just poorer in general. We've really felt it the last two years.
black budget, baby.

If they invent a teleporter & cure retardation, they're useless cuz no apefuck? You better have perfect genes if you're gonna breed, or you're a degenerate.
I don't know why you're so upset, these are all just a well-documented economic phenomena of the latter 20th century.
I can't, Alexa will hear me
This is a great point. If Boomers can really be faulted for anything directly it's that they pushed their children into going to college come hell or high water despite how bad of a deal it had become. Just like the US Dollar and the US Worker, the US University Graduate's market value had become suppressed by simple inflation by the early 2000s.
Despite the fact that these schools were using government mandated loans as a springboard to charge mortgage-tier tuition rates for attendance, the eternal Boomer put enormous pressure on their children to go, often threatening to kick them out of the house and ostracize them if they didn't, even if they had shit grades in highschool or were pursuing a major that anyone with common sense could have figured out had no place in an institution of higher learning.
Now as men become disillusioned and turn to the internet for education, it's women who make up the majority of college graduates and are even going to graduate school racking up more and more impossible to repay deb as consequence and all you'll hear about is how "and it's a good thing" that women are deliberately making themselves black holes of debt.
my parents are pretty based as far as boomers go- my mom is a nurse and my dad is a marine engineer and probably the hardest working guy I know. They have also lived frugally their entire lives and have no debt, and raised me and my siblings on a small farm and homeschooled us for some time- my older siblings until around 9th grade and me until 6th grade. Even though they are clearly quite based compared to most other boomers, they basically just expected us all to go to college. I was never really taught anything about a career path or anything, i was just always expected by everyone to go to college for something. I wish someone had talked to me about what options are out there, instead of just telling me that it doesn't matter as long as i go to college after high school. I'm about to graduate with a business degree soon so I'll find out if it was worthwhile but i'm not very academic and I prefer doing stuff with my hands. Maybe becoming a craftsman or tradesman would have been a better path for me. Thanks, boomers.
I can still remember the voices of my boomer teachers in elementary school saying, "If you go to college to get a degree, you will make $1 million dollars more than a person without it!" Fuck boomers.
>If your parents are over 50 and did not make it financially they are literally retarded and lazy and you should have no sympathy.

Yes, that's why if you google "wages increasing" you see articles from a few months ago in late 2018 discussing the fact that wages are increasing in the largest increments they had for 9-10 years. We are on a good trajectory but these things don't happen overnight.

To take this to the next level my mother divorced, got 1.4 mil and is broke less than 5 years later. She literally has no money, ~50k creditcard debt and owes the state a ton of money too. She was a victim of pajeet scammer tier fraud and no one wants to touch the case because technically shes just a retard and its her own fault.
Good God are you economically illiterate. All of the things you mention trend toward lowering prices for many goods which is better for the consumer. Typical make work bias. A job is not what you want, what you want is consumer good's. The job is a means to an end.
Now, our economy is fucked, but it's not because of what you mentioned. Labor is a resource and tends to make a country richer. Sure, losing your job sucks and it can reduce wages, but again in lower's prices which is what you ultimately want.
But, you're right that there is a problem. The problem is mainly due to inflation caused by fractional reserve banking, money printing, and inflation caused by QE. The other major problem is all the regulations passed by the government and unions. Those have lead to some outsourcing that wasn't beneficial to our country by increases production costs making us non competitive.
The government is what's been fucking us over with economic policy, not brown people and women.

I think it's one of the "Dod sno" movies (both o's with a slash)
No, it's not. Multiple studies -- both historical and contemporary -- have found that immigrants are a net positive for the economy, and more importantly, they do not compete with native-born workers for jobs. The most recent such study was published by the Trump administration: nap.edu/catalog/23550/the-economic-and-fiscal-consequences-of-immigration

great now that that's settled lets make sure we get the ones with the lowest IQs possible from the most violent unstable nations we can find, since immigrants are always a net positive I'm sure nothing bad will happen.

I cant tell if you're pretending to be retarded.
There are a ton of studies on immigration and social cohesion/trust/crime/standards of living in general getting completely assfucked by third worlders that don't/can't assimilate. I'm not even disagreeing with the notion that immigrants can be good and don't care about this enough to point you to studies.
From personal experience I've seen many people in H.S. and college that were either simply 'going through the motions', didn't pay attention at all / sat in the back on their phones etc., or were just being pushed through for whatever reason.
It's always been one big business to me and very rarely have I ever heard of students talking about their perspectives 10 years down the road and where they'd like to be with all the education they were working on. Most of the time it was only biz students that considered those factors.
And a lot of the time the parents are either funding or taking out loans in their names too for the kids. Just a big blackhole of money.
The internet could easily eliminate the 2 of the 4 years of liberal arts we all have to take to keep some of those useless degree people employed.
Anthony Sanders
nice infos.
Juan Hall
One of the key points of the study I posted is that assimilation usually takes a generation, and others indicate that's been then standard regardless if the immigrants are from France, Taiwan, Ireland, or Tunisia. You're working with a number of assumptions that are simply incorrect.

>study I posted is that assimilation usually takes a generation
right so because assimilation can happen that means it always happens.
