Well, it's a couple things. From a mating standpoint, (women date the same age and plus 5 years). On top of that, they date across and up when it comes to income. Having some 50% of the young female population 22-35 earning $70k or higher means that their selection pool of optimal mates is excessively low. This is why women 30-34 have an unmarried stat of 54%. They can't find a man that makes as much or more than them AND they can't find a man that wants to have children because those guys got married off by 25. Solutions for women? If you're going to play the corporate ladder game; you need to be married by 25 or you probably never will. If you want to extend you time line of marriage; stay uneducated and stay poorer lol.

I think most people are listing symptoms; not the causes. Think of it like this; every Empire eventually implodes (not due to bread and circuses precisely) but rising inequalities. Civilizations need to run on 70/30 margins; not 98/2 wealth ratios. However, these phases are inevitable. The reason is because human intelligence can never keep up with innovation. This is why the rich get richer and poor get poorer; it's inevitable. Government only slows it down and reduces innovation at the same time. When inequalities reach a certain point; the system begins to collapse. Sexual inversions become rampant, income inequality goes insane, social behavior becomes erratic, and the law stops being enforced. Happens every single time since the dawn of civilization. Things will always get better. The goal is not to be a statistic in the failure of the old system.

1 interview if you apply to things like (package handler).

@fawzy76 Be careful what you wish for. Universal healthcare seems great in other nations because they don't have public health epidemics, plus the US covers are large amount of EU defense budget. When your people are sick and you have to afford your own security; magically things get a lot more expensive. At the end of the day, if you need life saving emergent care; you come to the US. If your child is dying and needs specialized medical attention; you're going to get flown to Nationwide in Columbus, OH on a B2-Visa. Everybody loves to talk a big game about the healthcare crisis, but it's so much more complicated than most people give it credit for.

Same, our second is due Nov.

@wymonwatson1309 Well, to be honest (shutting down the government) was the worst decision ever, because it means they HAD to bail out the economy with $6 Trillion. All of this is about maintaining Social Security. Deflation would annihilate it and it's a game of hot potato until major reform is needed by 2033

It's why being a skeptic is paramount these days. I mean, my in-laws literally believe that government is spraying the forests with neurotoxins to kill deer; in order to starve people outside of the cities. People have completely lost the plot.

I told my parents back in 2012 that I believed college was a waste of time and not worth the hassle. Dear Lord, the grief I got from both parents, neighbors, friends, and just about everybody under the sun. I ended up going to Community for $10,000 which was all covered by FedEx at the time when I was working. I never used the degree, but I have no regrets about avoiding a University.

I'm not saying the economy doesn't suck, but people need to stop applying to corporate desk jobs. Most package handler positions pay roughly $18-$20 nationwide. It's not great, but it's a start.

Not exactly, corporate greed shouldn't just be thrown around lightly. Things do not drop in price until debt can be refinanced and the cash-flow failure causes a series of bankruptcies; on top of the government NOT supporting larger corporations with 'shadow' quantitative easing. Once they cut interest rates, you'll see demand destruction hit rock bottom and prices will magically follow. This is what induces a recession; soft landings are a myth.

Personally, I just see it as politics as usual. I think most people have completely forgotten what it means to have a realistic viewpoint of the world.

Not really, it's a demographic problem. Some 74% of the entire budget goes to auto-pilot programs like SS, Medicare, and Pensions. Those programs have to be inflated to maintain their initial value. SO naturally they are asset bubbles and changing demographics make them impossible to maintain.

Well, I think it depends on the circumstances. It's not always about budgeting. Most people I know have no savings after basic amenities, medical bills, and gas/groceries. It's easier to look down on them when you're over 40 and have it made. If I was 18 (fresh out of HS) in 2024; I'd be feeling the same heat. I left my parents house on $15/hr back in the 2010s. Which would be impossible by todays standards in the same apartment, let alone city. The problem is that wages saw virtually no growth with the cost of living. Working 90 hours a week to pay rent is NOT a solution. Nobody alive today has put in that much work just to afford basic shelter, period. Blame the Federal Reserve and previous administration.

@atrain132 I truly think your logic is flawed because it relies solely on personal accountability. It doesn't take economic factors into account. Look, my wife and I do well for ourselves. If we'd have waited another 2 years to buy a home and build a family; things would be very different. If there's no demand, then how can everybody work 90 hours? It was easier to argue this back in the day when purchasing power was stronger, but not anymore. We are minimalists on a six figures believe it or not. The top 10% of boomers became the wealthiest men and women in human history in the last 4 years due to fiscal policy. You can't work yourself out of a high inflation environment long term. The best you can do is downsize and avoid debts like the plague.

@atrain132 I haven't backtracked whatsoever. I think you're having trouble grasping economic concepts. You're describing ambitious people taking loans and investing in competent people at the correct moment that is of greatest benefit to themselves. I don't blame them for that. I assume you're successful and well off. How would that work out for you in the current environment of virtually no jobs, high interest, and troubling dollar hegemony? It's easy to push the 'bootstraps' game when you have opportunities that people won't have later on. I'd love to have an older person explain to someone fresh out of high-school how to get gainful employment or buy a used car (the average of which is $26,000US). You won't find many under $10k regardless.

@Foreverfreeusa You've got a point lol

Brain rot yes, but to be brutally honest; you don't want to be giving power over social media to government. It sounds all nice and dandy when it's a software that you either don't use or have contempt for. But you're setting a precedent that has the potential to revoke civil rights pertaining to any online activity.

@THX5000 I doubt it'll ever come to that in the age of rampant media addiction.

1. Stop being a hypocrite 2. Have a system of values 3. Know what you're looking for

Seems pretty normal, as opposed to dying alone on your phone waiting for your parents to die and will you their property. Which I feel is a lot of millennials and zoomers these days lol
1
That's actually a really good way to perceive it without getting into the economic details.
1
@Baddiecde Try having parents that abuse you with amphetamines and scare the living day-lights out of you. It can be a lot worse lol Having little freedom (as a child) under someone else's household isn't exactly oppression in comparison.

Because American families are largely a house of cards built on toxic relationships. There's a number of reasons why, but most people in their right mind would never move back in with their folks; let alone allow their parents to live with them at theirs.
1
Well, you gotta take everything with a grain of salt these days. The Government is lying, corporations are lying, and people are lying in general. The entire system is breaking down into a series of cults. Best thing to do is (reset your mind and body); fast for a while and begin anew. If it bloats you; don't eat it. If it causes pain; don't do it.
1
It's because Boomers are the most solid block of voters in circulation and their entire latter years depend on high inflation to maintain their asset values in the face of a demographic implosion.

Yeah, that lady is delusional. Probably living in a 'boomer' community with interstates blocking welfare from the north AND south, plus a river on the left and right. Meaning they live in a state of pure bliss, being protected by natural barriers, the homeless, crime, and don't have a clue what's going on outside their perfect town.

The funniest part is that as unbelievable as that story sounds; I know it actually happens on occasion. I've run into similar problems with immigrants that have problems with English, but are teaching a Literature classroom in junior high.
1
Depends, I've always been pretty bad (socially speaking); so I never knew anyone. It was always 'what' I knew that allowed me to get ahead. Also, going against the grain. Intuition and doing what others won't goes a long way.

If you look into studies of it's ingredients it does. Btw, if you keep basing all your decisions on peer reviewed studies; eventually you're going to end up sick regardless. I used to be in the same boat as you; glorifying stats and medical research. I would heavily suggest you start small and add things to your routine. If your body is saying something is wrong; alter the strategy. I would also recommend just a generic intuition test on any product your using. If all you do is look at studies and base your reasoning on a hierarchy of credentials; eventually you'll end up with a chronic disease and trying to blame your own genetics. Seen it happen over and over again. As far as Listerine goes; I mean sure, it has no alcohol, but Methyl salicylate is technically toxic if ingested. Just because it takes a certain amount to be hospitalized doesn't mean it doesn't harm cells inside your mouth. Similar story with Menthol. FD&C Green No.3 is another ingredient (banned in the EU) due to it's carcinogenic nature and effects on rats; inhibiting certain functions within the hippocampus. WHO claims otherwise, but I'm not surprised. At the end of the day, I would take everything with a grain of salt and try to be on the safe side.

Hell yeah! Morgan Freeman VP 2024! Woohoo!

Go down for 5 to 7 years? Housing in is a supply dip; the stock market may make a correction in 2025, but prices will continue to go up for years. This correction you're talking about won't happen until a default happened on bonds. All of this will just result in inflation. The party will continue until there is a currency crisis.
1
Depends, much of the problem is that families are forsaking their children. I remember when parents were all about "don't believe what you see on the internet!" Now it's, "You don't believe what's on the internet? Why won't you pamper us and kiss our rear!?"

@prd004.2 Yeah, that's BS; there's no automation any-time soon.

I'd rather be homeless tbh

They're anticipating a bailout in 2025 as interest rates get slashed; watch, they'll get it. The US Government will give them billions and all those cars will car to auction and prices will free-fall.

The biggest problem I see coming is that major networks will use AI to further gaslight and scare people into doing what they want. What happens when you see New York City getting nuked on the news and nobody knows if it's real or not?

@DrawinskyMoon Chicken feed is primarily corn and alfalfa; all grown in the US. The woman doesn't know what she's talking about. All prices are part of supply/demand curves paired with FED policy on interest rates.

This all began with Carter, Reagan pushed us towards centralization, Bush and Obama made is considerably worse, Trump turned it into a game of Let's Make a Deal; where most people lose and Biden didn't even know he was in charge. Grand country we got here.

@chinesecrested9528 As much as I agree, the average used vehicle is $26,000 It's nearly impossible to find a 'decent' vehicle under $10k these days. Times aren't like they used to be.

You're going to find out that people are stupid bud. I thought it was common knowledge that most electrical generation is done via coal plants. You'd be surprised that most people are completely unaware of this. They think electric is generated from solar panels; it's like 3% of total production.

I hear the Bahamas have some really good tax incentives and are really good for foreigners (especially US) looking to buy property. Might want to look there.
