  1.  @off6848  I'm not so sure; maybe not by a modern standard. If you look at the Hadza tribe; they have a very simplistic culture when it comes to spiritualism. I think modern people confuse 'living as intended with gratitude' as spiritual. It's like the different between self esteem and simply doing what you need to so that your tribe and family can survive. Self esteem isn't even in the dictionary for these people. Modernity has made simplistic things complex.

  2.  @mydadspulloutgametrash  Nobody has ever lived thru the current currency devaluation; even people in the late 1970s.

  3.  @skeezix8156  First, interest rates peaked between 1980 and 1981 at 19%. Rates were not 18% in 1983; the top rate was 9% that year. So this isn't true. It's also irrelevant if you're not comparing USD purchasing power. In 1980, the median household income to home ratio cost was 1:3. In 2024, it was 1:8. Nobody would take a 7% interest rate for 400k; over 17% for 40k. That would be suicidal. I'm aware that inflation was bad at that point, but my initial argument still stands. 2020-2023 was the worst inflationary event (by far) in US history. Older generations can talk interest rates all they want, but again they are irrelevant in contrast to dollar value and equity.

  4. Look, I'm a 30 year old with a CDL. When Covid hit, the first thing I thought they should have done is recommend Vit D sups to everyone, tell them to exercise, and push thru a tax-funded program to support vulnerable populations. What did we do? Close all small businesses, force healthy people inside, completely killed the idea of herd immunity, and inflated the currency by 60% while giving immense power to government and corporations. You're telling me these people in charge can't come up with any of this stuff? It's either mass incompetence or mass fraud and corruption if you ask me.

  5. It's nothing new; social and economic distress during the downfall. The system is resetting and we are entering a new era. Luddites and reactionaries always end up getting the short stick in the end. I'd advise not indulging in either of those groups.

  6. I didn't understand the part about "not being able to be on Youtube if your parents didn't raise you up." I think most (kids at least) are on Youtube because their parents aren't raising them lol I think you'll also find that a lot of people don't have the fantasy relationship with their parents that you describe. I think I heard that some 1/3 of Americans are estranged from a sibling or parent. I don't speak with my mother or sister anymore. They are narcissistic abusers that will manipulate and use anyone to get what they want; then throw you in the garbage. I couldn't be around that while bringing a son into the world.

  7.  @Already100  Alright, I suppose I could understand that rationale. That's a rather low standard to set in my opinion though. Taking care of a baby and sending your child to school is compulsory by law. I really don't think you're making as good of a point as you think you are; just my two cents.

  8. None of this would be a problem if we simply reformed patent laws and made them open-source. Plus, I think it's embarrassing that nobody in politics even makes mention of it. Patents allow copyrighted innovation to be legally gate-kept. Essentially meaning that you can't compete and large companies can milk profits for decades. They'll get mad when you talk about unionization or taxes. But introduce the idea of forced (open-sourced patents) and these companies will start assassinating people lol

  9. Not really, this was mathematically bound to happen one way or another. Remember the debt crisis that Boomers and Gen X were always saying 'not to worry about'. Well, it's hear. This is what happens when you allow a central bank to control your currency AND allow you government to manage asset bubbles like Social Security, Pensions, and student loans.

  10. It's actually pretty easy to live a healthy life and ignore all the modern vices. The REAL problem is that most people aren't going to do it. So connection to average people becomes impossible. People are literally walking around like zombies. Look or talk to someone and they'll look at you like aliens have arrived.

  12. Well, people need to start making their own jobs then. Too many people looking for a corporation to sponsor their job or their independent contracting (which in all reality isn't even independent contracting).

  13. From a fundamental standpoint, it is a ponzi scheme. Crypto (of any type) is majority owned by less than a dozen individuals. They can sell and crash it any time they want.

  14.  @emmamagers  Except there are no youngsters/children. It really sucks if you're the only one in your family that got married and had kids. Older people want you to take care of them and young useless people want you to amuse them. I'm taking care of a kid, so both of those groups can kiss my rear lol

  15. Why are you acting like Trump introduced this? It's always been like this. 2020 simply allowed corporations and hedge funds to leverage massive amounts of cheap debt and kill small competition at the same time. The game hasn't change, just the inequalities.

  16.  @metaph0xr  Are on staying at your property for 8+ years? Not to mention all the years you'll need to have in order to get by your investment on energy savings, which is closer to 21 years. Again, why are people doing the logistical math, but ignoring the reality check? It's only worth it if you know that the property you're investing is long term. A large portion of the real-estate market holds properties about as long as they hold jobs; 2-4 years.

  17. I'm not so sure they voted for it bud. You shouldn't be listening to anything on FOX or CNN. Migrants started coming here in droves during 2019. Much of this has been caused by embargos and sanctions by the Obama/Trump Administration. Economic hardships caused by the US have destabilized many nations. The Covid crisis and spending $8 Trillion just destabilized them even more. Now we have everybody in the world trying to get in and international organizations are getting paid (per head) to move them. This project was first begun in Texas because FEMA and migrant shelters didn't have the resources to keep piling them up in border encampments. Other nations refuse to take them back and Mexico doesn't play ball with taking migrants THRU their country back to South America.

  18. The problem is that women want to pursue an extensive career, but also marry a man that makes six figures, will take of the children, and do everything around the house. Women are messed up in the head and it's all caused by birth control. I got married in 2020; she has never been on birth control. The most awesome and compassionate woman I've ever met. It's literally night and day from mainstream women. It actually made me realize how insane my own female family members were. NEVER date a woman that's taken birth control; ever!

  19. Nothing is true anymore; everything and all of history are just random assertions of idiots online.

  20. Let's be honest, it's not about the money or cost; it never has been. This nation has a mental health crisis. To be honest, if you're a woman that smirks at babies; don't have children. Health people tend to make good decision; both financially and family-wise.

  21.  @duancoviero9759  Well, no. I think what you mean is that working class people 'avoid' capital gains taxes, because they sell those assets in CASH. I'm from a blue collar town, everybody knows what capital gains is, but we don't pay it in taxes because it's a cash deal.

  22.  @sallygirl1012  Why are you in college? CDL will can get you an 85k job in a heartbeat and I live in Columbus, OH. Obviously taking care of kids changes things; if that's the case.

  23.  @spocko2181  A lot of this is in your mind; people can checkout whenever they'd like. They're too addicted to convenience most of the time.

  24.  @foodhoarder9434  Fair enough; just know that historically luddites and reactionaries don't fair well. I'm not sure what people are hoping to go back to; perception is important.

  26.  @user-kg5lq6nd7q  Put your money (either in a precious metal ETF to maintain value) or (put it in an index funds) to ride with the market. Keeping cash long term is an insanely bad idea in this day and age. 1-2% inflation per year is never coming back.

  27.  @mcdonalduck  We do tax the rich; the top 20% of income earnings pay nearly 80% of all tax revenue. The bottom 50% pay 3.04%. I agree with taxing corporations more, but remember that taxation is supposed to be wielded as a weapon. If people wanted corporations to go away entirely; it's probably better to re-write the business codes. Otherwise they dodge the loops and headquarter in 1st world nations and export labor from 3rd world. They're currently all moving from China to Mexico/India. Besides, big corporations only exist because of big government.

  28. Well, you can't prove it unfortunately. Because they do the entire dog n/ pony show with HR and they give the job opening results to the state they operate in. So there is LITERALLY no incentive to go after them and there's really no evidence to gather. If you do, the state and business will sue you for messing with their image.

  29. Well, not everybody can adapt; basic distributions apply. Anymore, tech is an extremely volatile business; you can be hired and fired just like that. It doesn't matter what your specialty is anymore; even architects, engineers, modelers, etc are having a rough time. DEV's most of all.

  31.  @atrain132  In what world are there 'jobs everywhere'. Sure, if you go on indeed there are millions of jobs. Apply and watch them ghost you! I have a CDL and my wife is a cardiothoracic surgery PA; there are no jobs bud. We've been trying to move for almost a year. They're doing this so they can commit 'unemployment insurance fraud' against each state they operate in and the state doesn't care because their Dept. of Labor get good jobs numbers. On top of that, they bulk sell you data for profit after they collect it all from an interview screening. Demand truly began to die after September 2022 and volume is excessively low. Even if you look at warehousing jobs, FedEx, Amazon, and UPS removed almost all their job postings for the first time since 2011. I've never seen anything like it. A majority of the jobs that are actually posted are fake jobs where the employer is already trying to leverage it as a 'vacancy' to qualify for tax breaks. If you're looking a job; it's worse than 2008 right now.

  38. Yep! Prices don't go down because the FED has to devalue the dollar in order to prop up the assets and social services of Boomers lol Anybody saying different is selling something. We're in a debt crisis because of Social Security, Pensions, and Medicare, period.

  39.  @gravefrightn5720  It's all in shelter, energy, and auto markets; that's where most of the weighted cost go. If those get more expensive, they require higher wages to maintain, meaning higher product costs.

  40.  @gravefrightn5720  "Things go up to reset the banks." This statement makes no sense. If you are ignorant on the subject, then just ask for clarification. I'm not sure what you mean by me (stating the obvious) when your following statement makes no sense. "Good and logical but doesn't apply to real life." Again, what are you talking about?

  42.  @FullMoonKitty  Not going to happen if women threaten men with court and financial penalties that benefit themselves. All of this began in the 1960s during the Great Society. Women intentionally set themselves up for marriage and then divorced so they could collect payments. Back in 63' (the average father in Chicago could bring in $240/m, while social programs could net the woman $320). Most women hear about it because they know someone that is manipulating the system like that.

  43.  @tompriceusmc  The difference between being parented and being a parent is a mile of maturity. I'm not saying that all parents are mature, but the most mature people are parents. It changes you in ways that childless people can't even relate to

  44. Yep, the 2nd biggest bailout came from Obama. Followed by the biggest bailout by Trump. I'm pretty sure it'll happen again. Deflation is not an option for government at this point. Thank anyone still wanting their Social Security I suppose.

  45.  @mrdanielleebrown  You're probably describing a dichotomy; not oxymoron. Also, it depends on which demographics you're talking about. The reason that bailouts and inflation are on the table is because a super minority of the population depends on inflation, while a majority is damaged by it.

  47. I actually had the opposite experience. I learned everything the hard way and eventually found out how to out-smart the game. I never knew anybody important and it was all 'what I knew'. Use every experience as a means to under-cut other businesses.

  48. It's too expensive to live because everybody keeps lying about how much student debt they have. Perhaps they also shouldn't have taken a mortgage in 2022 at 4-5% for a $400k home?

  49. Still, 2.5B burgers a year is a LOT of cows for one company.

  50. Stress, poor diet, blue light poisoning, and pharmaceuticals. Also, younger generations are developing smaller heads and jaws because they've been eating soft foods their entire life. This reduces capacity for brain size and numerous physical characteristics for attracting healthy mates. Handsome women with 'sharp' features are becoming exceedingly rare and they tend to produce very healthy off-spring. Just a running joke on zoomers (with no offense intended), but their heads are half the size and their butts are twice the size. They are setting themselves up for sex-slavery in the near future.
