Go ANYWHERE in the world outside of the US and people will expect you to educated, know their laws, and speak their language. But in America, they become hypocrites.

It boggles my mind that people can openly see how big oil have blatant conflicts of interest in our economy and overall health. But somehow they think that people with college credentials aren't able to be bribed?

Most people are unemployable because the job market is levitating on bad monetary policy. The FED decided after 2008 that they would never allow deflation again. So they started bailing out all recessionary environments with new dollars. Assets maintain their value due to inflation and the actual economy ceases to exist. Anybody trying to change jobs or find a new job KNOWS how ridiculous the market has been since roughly 2022. It's easy to judge people looking for a job when your house is paid off and your retirement tripled from inflation.

PARENTS failed to prepare their children for the world. They were too busy telling them to get expensive degrees so that they could gloat to their buddies about it at cook-outs. They when their children couldn't get jobs; they gas-lit them into thinking it was their fault for signing the loan. Boomers in my opinion are the most entitled self brats to ever walk the face of the planet. A generation that STOLE valor from Vietnam Vets, smoked and drank everything they could get their hands on, worked jobs that pay the equivalent of 300k for 30 years; not to mention bought low in 87' 00' 08' and 2020. But now they have the gall to complain that younger generations ask for too much money after their retirements tripled from recent inflation.

@jamesross160 Well, probably bad timing. Record run of a bull market created complacency along with technology. Then inflation insanity killed the standard of living. Also, Boomers and Gen X had a much stronger purchase value for the dollar. If they had to do life all over again, they'd find it multiple times harder.

@weeblordgaming6062 Yeah, older generations typically had anywhere from 3-10 year mortgages as well where employers would actively supply many of the loan terms with local banks. Many times manufacturing contracts would even pay off your house over the course of 5 years as you worked for the company. I'm from Lancaster, OH and this was the norm here in the 1940s and 1950s.

The writing was on the wall back in the early 2000s. If people in 2024 can't figure out that most degrees are worthless in the job market; then that's you're own fault. Too many narcissistic parents also continue to push education so that they can gloat about their family status to people that don't actually care. Anymore, education (even at the Community level) is pushing student debt sharply. These kids end up being indentured servants making $40k a year until they're 40+ years old.

Supply and demand bud.. Cheap debts create more buyers and that drives up prices.

DO you not realize the irony of your comment? If they're illegal aliens; how can they vote for him?

@dvbernard No, it was lost after 2020. Nobody buyers this stuff anymore. Too much corruption for the sake of profits.

Humans were NOT meant to live like we currently do in modern society. Screens, endless stimulation, pharmaceuticals, economic stress, endless debt and consumerism, and poisoned food. No wonder people are going nuts.

Thanks for your story! I'm sick and tired of fat-cat Boomers claiming that everybody is lazy when they got the biggest retirement boost in US history.

So Doctor and scientists are right and are beyond cronyism? When was the last time you had a Doctor tell you something that you didn't already know? Then try to give you a pharmaceutical? You're making an arrogant assumption that these people actually research what they are doing. A medical board will fry you for attempting alternative care or approaches to medicine if someone ends up dying. This ensure that people in the medical industry toe the line and don't ask questions.

@drmachinewerke1 He's a drone that heard it on the media.

Yes, because a bacterial or viral infection is the same as Pharma companies preying on the public with tax based contracts. Let me guess, big oil companies would never poison your air or water because they can be trusted?

It's called parents. Boomers decided that they loved money, status, and manipulating people. So that's what they did since the 60s and drove the economy into the ground to prop-up their pensions and Social Security. The lowest of the low (imo) was convincing entire generations that they fought in Vietnam. Absolutely laughable once you do a little research and find out that virtually none of them could have even served.

@jamesross160 It has everything to do with your argument; you're not reading or reasoning my points. These kids grew up in a time that didn't produce many disasters. Most of them were small children in 2008. So it didn't affect them. The markets from 2013 to 2019 produced never ending joy and created a complacent generation. Throw on the easy access to technology and you have your answer. Complacency, short cuts, and lack of hardships create people that are essentially helpless. Btw, it's not all of Gen Z. Every new generation gets the short straw in pop-culture. This is nothing new. Baby Boomers were talked about the same way in the 1970s.

@thomashoffman5745 No offense, but there is absolutely no comparison these days. The white-collar crunch is insane. Any Bachelor Degree (regardless of field) is up against 50 to 3000 applicants per job in the last 4 years. My sister is in Interior Design and it's no different; 400 applicants minimum on any posts. Federalized student loans have pushed up prices 400% easily since the late 90s on their own. On top of that, wages haven't accounted for any of that growth; let alone cpi inflation. Computer science degrees are not a booming field; they have some of the highest underemployment rates in education. You're describing software engineering, CCENT, ethical hacking, and other technical certifications and educations. Even those are having difficulty since roughly 2020. On top of that, it's complacent to assume that the business will hire anyone regardless. A lot of the postings are fake in order to solicit tax deductions in the state they operate in.

Blame the Federal Reserve for printing $8 Trillion since 2020. That's why inflation is up 60% across the board.

@stephenmorring3370 Actually yes, the average age in the 1970s of owning your first home was actually 26 years old. What older generations fail to understanding is (purchase value). Working from 1956 until 1987 would be the equivalent of someone in 2024 getting paid $300,000+ a year for 31 years for a job with no degree. This included the inflation from 1977-1980; which was a cake-walk compared to 2020. The median household income to median home value was 1:3 during that time period. As of 2024; it's 1:8. Demographic problems with Pensions and SS drive these problems with USD strength. As social programs are held up with inflation; it actively makes it harder for subsequent generations to afford a living. New dollars bail out the failing programs of elders by taxing the purchasing value of young generations. It's all about propping up asset prices to avoid deflation.

@rogergeyer9851 I'm well aware that things change. Trust me, many of us wish we could make 80s wages with 80s prices. We have to make due with what opportunities and currency value we have one way or another. Try to read to context of the comments before making assumptions that people don't want to change or make due with the times.

@Cruel_Shoes I bought my first home at 25; I had a 12% down payment on a house by then. It's not impossible. That was in 2020 btw. I lived on my own and had saved up some $20,000 by the time I was 23 in 2018. Plus, that was by working at FedEx. I think people generalize too much on Gen Z. Most of them are dead broke due to student loans. However, at the same time many Gen X people don't realize how much they've spent in interest over the decades; not to mention loss in wage value. It all comes down to the numbers. Too many people try to delude themselves with words like (home ownership) or (higher income). It's all about staying out of debt tbh.

@kurtisengle Explain to me anything in the vaccine schedule that prevents a viral based death or disability for the overall population? People need to apply some critical thinking to this issue. Everybody agrees that oil companies are hurting our health, but somehow the medical industry is beyond bribery?

@melindahall5062 Insane according to what? Media talking points? Maybe you should watch his interviews and not jump on the bandwagon of blindly disliking him?
