That's simply not true. Housing and rent costs are much higher today than they were when I was a kid. A new vehicle these days costs as much as a nice home for a family of 3 or 4 did when I was a kid.

We need to stop blaming the people that are being abused by this system. It's not a matter of working harder, the solution to slavery is not to be a better slave. People are realizing that the amount of fiat currency they need to live keeps increasing while the amount they get for all their hard work and lifeblood barely amounts to shit. They end up stuck in a cycle of barely scraping by and living pay check to pay check, while other people scoff at their struggles and tell this exhausted and miserable person that their issue is that they just arent trying hard enough.

When you attack the people, you defend the system that preys on them. You want to talk about complicity? Accountability? Maybe it's time we all stop blaming the younger people and start taking a look at the beast we've created that chews our young people up and shits them out when it's done with them.
