So to make the feels hurt worse the boomer's average income back then was like $90k in today's money.
Damn.....

It's got little to do with smarts or skills. It has to do with how willing you are to waste as much of your life away as possible making money for Shekelberg and collecting his table scraps
t. illiterate
You don’t understand the federal reserve, the petrodollar, qe, or inflation
The only one who’s not smart enough to be anywhere is you in this thread
Fuck zoning regulations
business.financialpost.com
Fuck housing regulations
>Little to do with smarts and skills
Okay lmao. Get out of the wagie mindstate and start your own company or something. Let me guess, you don’t gave the smarts or skills. Thought so
I never said this shit was fair, all I’m saying is people need to stop crying about it and make something out of themselves. Most people grow up thinking working a 9-5 is what they’re supposed to do. Small percentage of people have the Brain power to realize that isn’t the way to go. What can I expect though, look what forum I’m on.
Also this. When bankers are capable of seeking rents indefinitely, there’s nothing to do except either be a freak autistic genius and make money on the edges of this system through market making, get lucky starting some software business, or waste your life wageslaving
Following this line of thinking to its logical conclusion, a very large part of the U.S. population should be deported to the third world where they are "qualified to live". This leaves the U.S. with the mother of all labor shortages.
I’m not saying it’s impossible either. It clearly is possible , and in some ways there are better opportunities than ever
That being said; the average guy with average levels of motivation who would have survived quite comfortably 50 years ago when central banks weren’t stealing that much of his money through inflation, has a right to be angry when money is ACTIVELY being stolen from him to support single moms and illegal wars, and politicians pockets, especially when boomers repeat erroneous tropes like “just work hard at your job and you’ll work your way up”. Wrong. Most jobs today are complete dead ends that suck your soul and never give you any meaningful skills to do anything or make any serious money
We’ve gotten to a point of financial Darwinism where if you’re not in an elite tier of meaningfully skilled people, you’ll never escape where you are. Many times this barrier is genetic, and if you don’t believe that you have never seriously competed at anything at a high level, whether it be academics or athletics or software
That’s just how it is. Can’t be mad at others for your whatever you lack in life. Not getting you anywhere.
