This is true if you're a burger. Luckily real median wages have been increasing in my country. At least the richest people are doing great in your country, burgerfag. The 3 richest people in your country have more wealth than bottom 50% combined. Doesn't that make you happy?

Everyone will say jews and it is them but indirectly. The true cause was the creation of the Fed and taking us off the gold standard. Having out money backed by something instead of being printed at will would unironically solve every problem in society

28 y/o boomer here. End it limp wristed millennials
back then production productivity is low and mass manufacturing was the shit, so anyone in that industry will be well compensated by society
Technology has improved since then and different things are more in demand now. We are entering an age where the biggest advances and in demand services are only met by the few.
At some point we have to admit that most of us are dumb fucks and aren't needed anymore

A 2002 Honda is a much nicer car than a 1958 Plymouth.

Not just burgers. Australia (Sydney/Melbourne) is fucked too. Literally cannot afford to rent a shit hole 1 bedroom apartment and be able to afford electricity and internet on a factory wage let alone driving a car. Thank god for mommy and daddy. Seems typical for most millennial's to stay at home now. Fucking hate it. Besides shitty wages our housing problem is making things tough. Gradually becoming like the US where a lot of people are forced to take up a second job and forego holidays. We're slowly entering voluntary slavery.

Post WW2 was a unsustainable utopia which we thought would continue indefinitely at expense of societal bonding and environmental nurture. Now that shit hits the fan, we naturally looks for a culprit for accountability - Jews, Pajeets, Globalisation etc. Instead of fighting read this amazing book and you may find your answer.
Not speaking for those who lost the Emu War but, in the US the problem of housing prices is largely due to the fact that local and state governments make it nearly impossibly to build new residential buildings. >insert supply and demand graph

How else will they make money? Lucrative for the developers that can afford it... charge 500k for a condo with 600 monthly hoa
Lincoln Stewart
Not sure who the “they” in your question is referring to. If you mean the government, they don’t need to “make” as much as they do. In my opinion they should do less with less.
Owen Diaz
dont forget the speculating gambling-addicted chinks, the swarms of IT pajeets, and the endless army of spics competing for 1 bedroom apartments to fit their 50 member extended families in
yeah but now we have thousands of weird ways to make money from just sitting on the computer. no factory needed.
look at all the youtube/twitch streamers making money just playing video games. There's even a youtube channel with 500k+ subs that just plays other peoples music and puts VHS filters over fucking Simpsons screenshots and makes bank on donations.
its a great time to be alive

Ok but what if crypto didn't exist? We would be fucked

sitting on the computer is unironically SICK
I am SICK of this shit
of screens and the internet
Id rather work IRL and walk on my legs, even waiting tables. Not saying you shouldnt invest your money, but staying inside all the time will kill you

>what went wrong
Capitalism stopped having a counterbalancing ideology to prove itself against. The threat of communism spreading all over forced countries with market economies to placate the average person with healthy living standards. Now that communism is effectively dead, powerful people are able to squeeze most people since they have a monopoly on production and ideology.
