Why won’t you celebrate the booming economy!
When the economy is bad, prices go up, wages stay low and we get fucked. When the economy is good, prices go up, wages stay low and we get fucked.
Seriously fuck the economy, it only benefits the 1% so why should I care? That’s why you do the minimum the your job requires, don’t ever give extra, don’t be a “team player”, cause come pay time there is no team
The average American can afford more now, not just the top 1% https://home.treasury.gov/news/featured-stories/the-purchasing-power-of-american-households
I wish I knew what planet you’re living in where you think our generation has it good
The one where I don’t listen to social media narratives. Look at the data
Slightly better is still living paycheck to paycheck.
Also jobs are up but that’s because many are having to work two and three jobs.
People work fewer hours now than before
Now show the productivity chart
When you work part time jobs you generally don’t get benefits (paid by the company) but you will get welfare and food stamps when you work at Walmart for 39 hours a week, for example.
I mean. You can always do what the third world does and jump the hoops to live in a good country. Then you’ll be able to have a safer, cleaner, healthier life where you can afford the basic necessities of life.
Hopefully people won’t get mad and start passing lawes to harass the new people with the heavy american accent just trying to work, pay taxes and live a decent life.
Man, the irony is palpable.
The people who can barely afford housing can almost assuredly not afford moving to another country.
I’m not talking about fancy living in europe. I’m talking about moving to south america where each dollar you have is 5x more so you can have a fresh start feeling like someone who just got a beefy inheritance. If you work distance to earn a wage in dollars you are set for life.
Yes, and the people who CAN BARELY AFFORD HOUSING can not afford to move there. A large portion of American citizens have said that a 1000 dollar emergency would be devastating for them. These people would not even be able to save up to change their life like that even if they wanted to.
