  1. Corporate America loves you. Keep looking down or to the side instead of up and whatever you do, never check the 70ties or what other countries do.

  2. The endless greed which took hold especially in the slowly outgoing boomer generation changed society in their favor to satisfy this greed. But in the process they changed society in a way breaking the societal contract for the people coming after them. You work and work and work and not really coming ahead. You no longer properly live you just surive. And survival is not enough. Society changed for most from "Working to live" to "Living to work" and that's not sustainable and not a decent life. In fact it resembles slavery more and more just in a milder modern form. EDIT: Renting is another form of this exploitation. In the 70ties the percentage of rent on your income was 5% now it's 50-70% this is unsustainable.

  3. Do you live to work? Or Do you work to live?

  4. 1,5 hours per day not constitutes as "working" ... especially if he used the remaining 7 hours for golfing.

  5. Here some numbers: If your video reaches 11 mio views on Youtube you earn roughly 52,000$ for this video. 100 views are a couple cents. Do the math. And I'm not really sure how this works on Rebel HQ if this money goes to TYT or is shared among contributors of whatever. And keep in mind. This is not just siting down talking as long as the video and you are done. It needs research, cutting, post-production. You need 10-100 times the duration of the video depending what you do/show and how well you prepare all ... or just shouting whatever comes to mind like MTG, Jimmy Dore or Alex Jones.

  6. It's not a problem. Because UBI is of course adjusted to the inflation rate. And before you come with this argument ... no there is no Inflation-Spiral. It's an invention to fear you into accepting real-term pay cuts. It does not incorporate productivity and it assumes that products and services are 100% workforce costs.

  7. A dimension which is often forgotten here is: The Boomers are also the longest living generation so far. No wars like the generation before them fighting WW1 and WW2, better housing, healthcare, food amount, price and quality, modern medicine all the modern achievements is in their benefits. It changed society. Boomers now share the same workplaces with 2 other generations already.

  8.  @leea4624  Too young to fight in the wars old enough to study and work after the war.

  9.  @leea4624  Sure for some. But Vietnam or Korea for that matter was not like the millions who died in WW1 and WW2. How many Americans died in Vietnam and Korea? 10K 20K?

  10.  @leea4624  Okay you were right I should have done the extra round and check. Korea 36k Vietnam 59k ... however WW2 405k and WW1 116k. So you see what I was going for. And it changes nothing to my argument. The Boomer-Generation is humanities longest living generation so far. Granted the ones after them will probably live a little longer. Although the life-expentency in America and the UK is falling again for a couple years. So Gen-X, Millenians and Gen-Z might have a short life-span again thanks to changes done by Boomer and Gen X Politicians and those who voted them.

  11.  @leea4624  Yeah ... that's the problem. That you cannot get it ... or choose not to.

  12.  @avishevin1976  Mmm okay. I think I misunderstood this sorry. And that's more complicated. Fox gets 2$ per month from every cable customer if you watch it or not. There are 50 mio customers if I'm not mistaken plus ads. More than enough to pay millions I'm sure.

  13. Another example: Housing There is a measure how difficult it is to get housing measured in income per year. In the 70ties owning a decent house costed you 2 - 5 years of income. Now it's between 50 and 200 years.

  14. Check the oligarchs ... most of them Boomers some Gen X or children of them continuing.
