If your country is like mine, the pension funds have been making promises they can't keep for decades, and the solution they found to keep the ponzi scheme going was mass immigration (i.e., more people paying in so they can keep meeting their obligations for a few more years).
Yep, no one does it voluntarily, there's no way to pay for a house, never mind a car and food, unless both spouses work a full time crushing job. And the boomers just sit there with their piles of money from artificially inflated house prices, going "have you tried working harder, you lazy millennials?"
The pensions and social security funds were plundered by boomer retirees expecting to live it up for 20+ years without having to work. The generation that came before never had such a thing, no one did. Living within their means is boomer kryptonite.
The devaluation of the dollar was caused by money printing, which was demanded by boomers and their incessant need to spend more than they have.
Boomers lived it up on deficits they expected someone else to pay. Their pensions are bankrupting the nation. Many more retired on the gains their houses made under mass immigration, but the effect of this was future generations have to pay 40x as much for a house when starting out. Every one of boomers’ gains has been at the expense of future generations.
Millennials are also a generation that save more relative to their age bracket. And they have the aid of technology to be able to make money with side hustles that can be done all at home.
There's no choice. If you want a down payment for a house you have to save up as much money as your entire house cost you.
Boomer did have it easier but you are glossing over the fact that interest rates were much higher so you had to make money and put down more money on homes to make a purchase.
Lol I'll take high interest and house prices 1/50th of what they are now, over what we have today, any day. The fact is, ONE SPOUSE WORKING could pay it all off in your day, while today, TWO SPOUSES WORKING FULL TIME can't pay it all off.
So the only real advantage boomers had back then was purchasing power IMO as wages kept up with the cost of housing They didn't have the advantage of technology like millennials do or information at their fingertips.
I would gladly trade the internet for a functional homogenous high trust society.
Millennials are a good example of being hit with multiple plandemics and still are rising in home ownership and they haven't even inherited if any of their homes from their parents or grand parents yet aka baby boomers
"Home ownership" to a millennial means being saddled with a mortgage being worth 2 spouses' full time work for 30 years. It's an impossible-to-repay burden that demands 80+ hours each week of full time work.
"Home ownership" to a boomer meant a 5 year mortgage that one spouse working could pay off.
In fact, the boomers have been sponging off of the generations to come, for decades. Unrepayable deficits? Mass immigration to keep the house prices going up up up? Nation-bankrupting pensions? All retired boomers owe everything they have to the as-yet unperformed labour of their grandkids. And yet, when one asks them to share the wealth....
There is no option for balance, two spouses working full time plus is what is needed just to get the downpayment together for an entry level, very modest home.
There's no way to save them. What they want is the lifestyle you boomers enjoyed. They want a house that costs 5 years of one spouse's salary. They want one spouse staying home to keep house and raise the kids. They want a car or two, a vacation or two a year, and a chance at actually retiring.
The best they can hope for is a house that costs 30 years of two spouses' salary. Neither spouse may stay home, both must work a soul-crushing job 40+ hours a week, and so the housework falls by the wayside. A car these days costs as much as a house did when you were young. All jobs today basically expect that you work through your vacation even if you're legally entitled to it. Aside from that, most jobs also expect that you work when you're not working by answering emails etc.
The solution might have been for your generation to live within their means, but they didn't. They racked up unrepayable deficits for decades, invited the entire third world to come here so the pensions don't collapse. Mass immigration also hyperinflated the cost of housing (which boomers have been riding high on) while suppressing the price of labour (making it impossible for subsequent generations to save enough to buy in).
If people from your generation found themselves in the hopeless dire straits today's youth are in, they'd opt out as well.
I cut them from my life. As a leaf, I’m pretty lonely these days.
The point of the covid hysteria was to kill whites. The Africans were largely excused from having to toe the line on the vaxxes for this reason.
I like Sowell but he’s way off. Africa is the way it is because of Africans.
EVERYONE should have a well. City water makes you gay.
If it’s available to us, but not confirmed accurate, then us knowing does nothing. Any time we try to act on it, normies will call us “conspiracy theorists” and ignore us. This is exactly the state of affairs that led us to the current moment.
The truth needs to be 100% available, and 100% undeniable as being true. We should be given enough ammo to absolutely shut down any normie who wants to say “no that’s not right.” And anyone who doesn’t want to know can keep their head buried in bread and circuses.
“Have faith” in people who want to keep secrets from we the people? Nope.
It’s you who are lost, anon. The breads from the times when Q was posting are chock-a-block with anons shitting on Q for saying some would remain hidden. Between Q posts 144 and 586 we shifted Q from saying 80% must remain hidden, to 60% must be hidden. I never abandoned that cause. 60% hidden is a travesty. It needs to all come out.
Lol, this faggot is mad because I want full disclosure. Get the fuck out of here.
Then it is going to happen again. The normies’ mental defence mechanism of “this is too evil therefore it can’t be true” needs to be shattered. They allowed all of this to happen with their credulous disbelief.
I don’t think Q meant to say it started with Obongo. The 16 year plan was the coup de grace. At least it was supposed to be. The Ukraine war and covid were supposed to happen in 2017, the whole region went on a holding pattern til Trump was back out.
That read literally changed my life. I set a long term goal to move rural and start raising my own chickens after reading it, and about 8 years later I made it happen. The nutrition talk was very illuminating as well, I’ve mostly eschewed meats and get my protein from eggs, and I don’t eat any carbs, my calories come from fat (I like 10% M.F. coffee cream, which he said to “go ahead and enjoy for now”). And all those years ago, he was right that the usefulness of currency was coming to an end and that a new paradigm with less lag and lash would be revealed. He asked us to guess what it was and no one guessed medical tyranny.
Disagree. We’re 99% of the way to “opting out” as a civilization because of all these secrets.
If we are the only ones who know, then no one will believe us and it will happen again. I can’t understand Q’s insistence that the cabal’s secrets be kept from the public. 99.9% of the trouble we are having is no one believes us.
Q was dead fuckin’ wrong on this one. If it isn’t ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL revealed then it WILL happen again.
What do you mean? What’s false about it?
Programming? Lol, are you under the impression that when this is all over, we can just keep right on racking up unrepayable deficits and leaving them for subsequent generations to pay?
Obviously not. Doing so is a nation-wrecking mistake. Oh, btw, it's also exactly what the boomers did.
