Listen, there's a civilization-level project underway, and we are in the midst of it. They want to squeeze the middle class out of existence, and are working to accomplish that. It's working. Of course there's angst in the populous. Because we're not retarded and have eyes. The divide between classes has accelerated so much that even literal millionaires (in NW) are going to live less happy lives than their parents. They have debased money. Erected new barriers to entry (climate policies), and systematically attacked with oversaturation and immigration any career or professional path that acted as a social or class escalator.
It's working, and it's not going to stop. And near as I can tell there's not a lot we can do about it. Equity and Inclusion are the newest names of Marxism.

I am 36 years old. I am a sophomore professional with an advanced degree in a high-demand field. I even doubled my salary in 2020. Does my life feel twice as good? Fuck no. I got a big enough raise to just barely beat inflation.
When I was a teenager, someone like me would probably be a rich man. I can't afford even a used car. The only vacation I can afford involves taking a week off to just play video games. I've cut steak out and now just eat hamburger meat. For me to afford even a 10% down payment on a home in my area, I would need to completely empty my retirement accounts and the mortgage would likely leave me with barely enough to afford doing laundry or go to the barber.

I live in Wisconsin, many of these Midwest states are primarily conservative Republican dominate and they are just old white boomers and Jews collaborating to create systems of low wages and poverty while squeezing out as much labor as possible. Which is why these states have literally no innovation or growth, huge immigration programs.

UnIronically the old white boomers in these states all trash talk Illinois yet Illinois is one of the leading growth states in the Midwest.

It was until the Democrats started getting elected in the Wisconsin that wages went up, businesses started turning more profits, yet the conservatives are on full shill mode about how Democrats are ruining the country, everyone is aborting children, and homosexuals are taking over.

Christopher Columbus drove his diesel truck up onto the beach of Hispaniola. "Damn I love being white" he said, punching a native child as he climbed out. "I don't think this is China" said his navigator; "Shut up libtard" came the reply from behind a veil of cigar smoke. "Please sir" said the Taino chief, "these are our ancestral lands where we have lived in an entirely peaceful utopia for thousands of years. We don't even know what war is."

"Sounds like WOKE NONSENSE to me" guffawed Columbus, his very presence introducing microplastics into the ecosystem as he cracked a Miller High Life. "This is MAGA country now, boy" he proclaimed before shooting the chief with an unregistered AR-15. The other natives scattered in terror, sheltering their nonbinary tribe members from the bullets and slurs that now ripped through the treeline. "Kek" said Columbus, loading another 30-round assault clip. 'This is based. Wait until 4chan hears about this."

Because it actually is bad.

"Job creation skewed toward part-time positions. Full-time jobs decreased by 187,000 while part-time employment rose by 51,000, according to the household survey. An alternative jobless measure, sometimes called the “real” unemployment rate, that includes discouraged workers and those holding part-time jobs for economic reasons rose slightly to 7.3%."

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/08/jobs-report-february-2024-us-job-growth-totaled-275000.html

So the economy is actually being hollowed out. The good high paying full time jobs are declining while the shitty low paying part time jobs are increasing. The reason the job numbers look so strong is because people are working multiple part time jobs.

Last year I decided to take the self improov pill, woke up out of a long vidya addiction, decided to clean myself up and start caring about my future, and it's starting to set in that I missed all the important train stops. Everything is basically quadruple as expensive as it was 5 years ago, but wages haven't budged an inch. What the fuck are you even supposed to do now? I'm sidelined from housing in both the cities and suburbs, and the WFH train has long departed. The uni CS degree golden goose has already laid all its eggs, and I looked up blue collar trades, which everyone reports that the dick and ball torture grind-fest to get your apprenticeship hours no longer beats inflation even.

Everyone is arguing that the other owes them. Crew and owners at mcdonalds are at eachothers throats.

The money is all in investments. Business owners are losing profit to the inflation of wages. Nobody has any money to spend, all the rich are living off stock gains and that is the only wealth up for grabs as a business owner. But rich people don't want fast food and they don't want random formations of plastic in different shapes. So we blame eachother for the missing equity.

Why get a job? Just raid corpo warehouses
Why buy land/property? Just live in the wilderness, and raid boomer lake houses for supplies. If you "buy" a house, you don't own it anyway. You are only placing a bet that the government will enforce your property rights if someone else infringes on it. Which they will, until you go to war with the government itself (which we plan to) after which point goodbye goes your property rights because you're now against your former protector / enforcer

Adopt this kind of mindset, and you will truly be free. The only wealth you should be obtaining is frens. Specifically Gen Y and Z truefrens.

its like sawing off the tree branch your sitting on
min-maxing the productivity to profit gap until you go to far with rentierism and stop paying people enough to consume there for collapsing markets.
However if you take McDonalds for example, there total business makes money but the profit margins for the franchises are getting slimmer and slimmer. Eventually costs will not only encase (namely labor) that not only will income break even but be at a loss and you'll see McDonalds start to close, implies don't get payed other business slow, banks have increased defaults. And the avalanche begins.
You ight say "Oh its just McDonalds" but what about all fast food or restaurants, what about Walmart which is the largest employer in the US. Walmart its self doesn't even need to be doing bad, just enough of its customers have to for it to dragged own with them.

Not him (5th year attorney) but yes and no. Law is probably the most risk-averse industry and the boomers in charge are terrified of being on the hook for a robot's mistake. On the defense side and in any non-contingent plaintiff's work, you bill by the hour so there is an incentive to be inefficient, and right now there is a perception by firms that they will lose prestige for mentioning AI in their billables. On the other hand, plaintiffs firms that charge contingency are going balls-to-the-wall with using ChatGPT to draft briefs etc. I've done this before, and the results are very impressive, it can cut down on your time to finish a 1st draft by days, but it isn't really more useful than starting from a good template if you have one. It's just a matter of time until someone releases a model that gets the arguments/case cites right 99% of the time, and at that point the cat will be out of the bag as early-adopters are able to offer their clients mega-discounts and everyone else is forced to follow.

I ultimately foresee this as a good thing for anon's career because as mentioned, law firm management is firmly in the hands of mega-boomers who will be willing to pay whatever it takes to maintain the magic technology they depend on.

We were talking about money, and about how I'm $1,200 poorer after filing my taxes this year and including the extra side income I pulled to try to get ahead of all of this inflation. I barely make $40,000 a year. I have modest savings and investments. I try to be good with my money. I cook, I shop grocery sales and keep my freezer stocked, I have a vegetable garden again this year (all started from seed- didn't spend $5 or whatever the stores are asking per plant), I do odd jobs on the side. If something breaks I try to fix it rather than call somebody in or just throw it away to buy new. I don't eat out unless it is somebody's birthday or something. Hopefully that gives you an idea of how I'm not a complete moron when it comes to spending what little money I earn.

The problem is how LITTLE I earn. It's not how I manage it. I went to college and have a BA and an MA. I'm also a trained graphic designer. What I'm earning is about as good as I can get. If I were 18-years-old today, and looking to enter college, I probably wouldn't go at all. I have a friend who skipped college and went straight to work for Walmart. Our income is roughly the same.

"Golden Job Market" my ass. The jobs I see available in my town is anytime yet another Dollar General opens. There just aren't many people out there who need an editor or a graphic designer for their business. All of these little markets have completely dried up. I know how to cook, but if I were to try to find a job as a cook, I'd be VERY lucky to find one at $17 an hour. Corporates don't pay and people can't afford to open restaurants. I'm very good with gardening and with houseplants, but to earn money that way I'd have to go minimum wage at Lowes or Walmart, and be asked to do a dozen other things as well. There simply are no good jobs anymore for people like me. We weren't all born to be surgeons.

Opportunities are extremely limited. The market is very saturated. I've been networking and have managed to pull together a few gigs that I hope will last as well as maybe get me some referrals. The problem is sites like Fiverr flooding the market with foreigners who operate from templates and charge, like, $5 to design a logo. Since I actually know what I'm doing with regard to layout for magazines, reflowable text for epubs, and how to make documents accessible (a growing requirement for many) I should not be struggling the way that I am, but I am. All of those businesses aren't opening anymore that used to hire graphic designers for branding, or for designing their brochures, or menus, or whatever. It's all yet-another-fucking McDonalds or dollar store, and they're all franchises or whatever and have all of that taken care of by corporate.

For my area, and it is a rather small town, to live in the glory of the middle class lifestyle I grew up with, the household income would need to be $200,000 or even $300,000. Keep in mind I'm recalling the days of the middle class home being actually OWNED by the parents, having a nice big yard with a swimming pool and a jungle gym, multiple vehicles, at least three kids (all enrolled in extra curricular activities at an extra expense like ballet, or music, or gymnastics, soccer, etc.), a trip to Disney World every summer, a spring break vacation, and a Christmas vacation. Buying each kid their first car, even if it were a bit of a clunker. Being able to pay for your kids to go to college rather than have them saddled with debt. That doesn't sound like a middle class lifestyle, does it? Sounds rather wealthy by 2024 standards.

Yes but the women that actually go outside are sluts on advantage. I went on at least a hundred dates with zoomer women, as a zoomer mind you, and the vast majority of them had a 5-20 person body coun on the low end.. I met three that claimed to be virgins, which mattered to me because I was trying to save it for marriage at the time, one of them wanted to cut it off because she wanted to sleep around before getting into a serious relationship. So sure technically zoomer women are sexless on average, but you have to basically meet them through their parents or get exceptionally lucky to find one naturally.

Things really are the worst I've ever lived through, that's for sure. My mother (a Boomer) is starting to get the general idea. It's easily the worst she's ever had to live through. She has this idea that the Depression must have been a worse time. I'm not sure I entirely agree with her. I have all of these stories about great-great relations who even in hard times owned their own homes and even owned small farms or land. Small homes, with few amenities, sure, but homes. None of these jobs I'm told my great-greats held even exist anymore. One supported a family and owned a home and his job was crafting eyeglasses. Another was a tinkerer, quite literally a tinkerer, who would go in for a day of work in a factory where they'd sit him in a corner to tinker around creating things or they'd have him fix broken things. One was a switchboard operator, her husband had died, and yet she owned her home and had her mom live with her to help raise her little boy while she worked to support everybody. Another, who was considered "the family loser," drifted from one job to another, even doing work for the WPA and still managed to keep a roof over his family's head. NONE of these people had college educations.

Now let's look at today. How many young people own their home, ANY kind of home, with no college education, working a full-time job? How many of them are married with kids? What I'm seeing is a lot of people in their 20's who are unmarried, have no children, and are working full time for places like grocery stores, then going home to live with their parents or to share an apartment with another worker. How is this not just as bad, or possibly even worse, than the Great Depression? I'm no great historian so perhaps we do have things better, but it sure as hell doesn't seem that way to me.

Relatively speaking, this is far worse than the Great Depression.

The big terror of the Depression was malnutrition. People stood in lines for fruit and soup. They made mayonnaise sandwiches and cabbage stew to save money. However, the amount of Americans who actually starved to death was apparently so inconsequential that no increase in mortality rates was recorded at the time. The only field of reported deaths that went up was apparently suicides. However, a big caveat to remember is that this was a time when families were a lot bigger and more closely-knit. My great-grandparents actually arrived in this country at the start of the Depression. They had 13 kids, all of whom survived except 1 from some unrelated health complication.

Compare that to today, when couples - the few that there are - aren't even having kids because money's so tight. Instead of cabbage stew, they have >rice and beans. Houses? Don't make me laugh. Even apartments are ridiculously overpriced. Bureaucracy and taxation are out of control. I'm sure paperwork and fees everywhere existed back then, but not like today. You could start up a business without needing to be registered by the state and without having to have insurance. Your car was made out of steel. There was FAR less competition in the job market, and you didn't need ridiculous qualifications. You could just show up and talk to the owner and you'd be set for years or decades. Everything was cheaper, even with inflation factored in.

The biggest difference was that the Depression lasted only a decade. Then shit got better. We've been struggling for, at minimum, 16 years, if not several decades longer if you pay closer attention. And there's no sign of anything changing. It's just gotten worse since COVID. This is unsustainable and I have this sinking feeling that, the longer it goes on, the worse the inevitable crash and burning is going to be.

I agree, a lot of boomers are retarded. Very retarded. But I would like to inform you that there are outliers such as yourself and now in this current system they're screwed over in favor of diversity hires. This is happening in every field, even surgeons and pilots. Simply having a high IQ won't save you, you have to be colored. There are high IQ zoomers, zoomers with passions and direction. You won't see them, they sit in their rooms tinkering, building, and actually working while the endless swarms of cattle get their stimmies and work in jobs they hate with female bosses. Believe me they exist. They're quiet, they stare with tired eyes, and they're rare but they exist. I have been told that I'm "one of the good ones" and that there still is hope for this generation. There isn't. There's too many retards but I hope to profit off this competency crisis. Although I fear when it is time to hire competent employees, the employers will have forgotten what it means to be competent.

The greatest distinguishing factor I've had for what is a good zoomers is whether or not they have a side project/passions they like to work on. It's an easy thing to ask and it indicates skill (which is lacking in this generation).

Why work when all the women are harlots, people see you as a problem (you're white), and all labor is being imported or outsourced. Why work when nobody cares about you. Why be a slave when you can do what you're called to do, to follow your passions and create things that people love.

Sadly I find myself agreeing with pretty much everything you've said. The regulations, paperwork, taxes, insurance, licenses, expected qualifications, competitiveness in the job market... and each year it grows worse. The only job growth I'm seeing, other than hiring people to work for scraps at the dollar stores, is growth in our government. And every year more hungry people crowd into our country looking for work, handouts, or both. Regardless of whether they work or not they reduce wages and increase the cost of housing. And federal minimum wage is $7.25 and has been so since **2009**. There really seems to be no end in sight, no promise of anything getting any better. Some people seem to think Trump will magically fix it all if he gets elected, but there's no way.

Regulations, licenses, inspections, taxes- I wanted to make a side income selling houseplants. But uh oh, can't do that! Not without being a "licensed nursery." So how do I become a licensed nursery? I have to have a separate building, as in a greenhouse, that is inspected twice a year, and beg my government for a license. The hell you mean I have to build a greenhouse? I just wanted to sell some houseplants that propagate just fine all by themselves.

What blows my mind, in this little town I live in, is a woman with no dreams of going to college would be better off financially if she were to drop out of school, not get married, and have bastard babies. She'll get a free apartment that she doesn't have to share, food, healthcare, lots of stuff- but the worker ringing up her free groceries has to share an apartment or live with their parents.

What really worries me about our economy is not that it's "getting worse," but that it's CHANGING. We're becoming some hellish socialist oligarch hybrid. Live in poverty working for a corporation, or receive handouts at the taxpayer's expense. (Or, work for the government.) There's no easy way to walk this back because the CHANGE is so radical.

Companies think they can just use gpt to cover every usecase I used to have a secure job for. Deep learning roles have vanished as a result. The closest thing is glorified prompt engineering roles, but they're mostly looking for data entry-tier retards rather than people with a background in deep learning nowadays.

Yes, we are consuming more recourses than we produce, thus we are living beyond our means. That's what credit is, its synthetic energy. That why we got rid of the gold standard, because there's not enough gold at this scale to keep growing.
That's the difference between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Ragan. Carter wanted people to accept less. He go on TV like Mr. Rogers and tell people to wear a sweater if its cold. Raegan said fuck that shit, just deregulate everything and pump the system full of credit. Americans went for the credit card over the White House solar panels.
Just know that the world is a meta system of energy flows, and capitalism is powerful because it and create synthetic energy called credit by barrowing from the future. How ever when ever the bill comes due, you can reup con debt. But ever time you do the cost is more and payments must be made more frequently(due to the risk).
After 08 we just left interest rates at 0, the FED acts like that's a bug, but it was the defining feature of post-08/preCOVID economics. In 2018 when Yellen tried to rise the rate the market shit its self, so so had to lower them again. Now Powell has an after COIVD to keep rates up. There will NEVER be a FED pivot. In fact the rate will probably go up more in the long run.
The final bill has come due. Credit car maxed. The future of politics in not the culture war, after '24 you will see a shift in to class conflict . Its a matter of which party gets the unions and which one becomes the business party.

If all cash has to be backed by gold then by definition the volume of money has to be lower because there's less of it in the economy. Thus there would be less growth do to less transactions. Reagan was just continuing what Nixon started.

Doesn't that just make inflation spiral out faster, that's literally then point of fiat money is to keep rates low. The only reason the 70's had high inflation after removing the gold standard was due to labor costs. So credit plus out scouring means economic growth. (for the investor class at the cost of everyone else) We where head to this point anyways, but its about weather it happened then or now. Unless you have space travel you cant have endless growth.

Economically? Fewer people. I live in Mississippi. We’re an agricultural state. We’re also the biggest Welfare state. Our farms and meat processing are largely absentee landlordism- owned by people who don’t even live here. They won’t hire locals because they can pay immigrants less and treat them poorly. Americans can file complaints about unreasonable work hours and quotas or unsanitary/unsafe working conditions. So our people go on Welfare while rent goes up because all of the immigrants need beds to sleep in. And our schools funded by tax dollars (which immigrants don’t pay) become overcrowded with kids who can’t speak English and need bilingual teachers, ESL learning materials, and free meals. If all of these people were deported and these companies could only hire American housing would level out, education would improve, and wages would improve. But as things stand they’ll only hire immigrants and prefer illegal, because they’ll bring their kids in after hours to help clean which increases productivity. Had an illegal kid die last year, late at night, ground to pieces by equipment in a chicken plant. These people need to be sent home.

All immigrants is different that illegal immigrants, If there was an easy way to become a citizen then higher wages would have to be enforced for who ever works there. Illegal immigrates are only a problem because the factory owners are allowed to get away with it. If they where forces to heir citizen and pay them a living wage then the state could tax the a different more profitable factory owner to subsidize the cost of the food so its not so crazy at the store.
Blaming brown people instead of your the boss who has the power over the whole situation. But I agree they shouldn't be letting in people just to lower wages. Being economically left doesn't mean you have to be socially left.

>>58370780
I can agree to that, but I would say there should be a public housing option and the goal of robots is not to replace jobs for more profit, but to let the productivity of the robots subsidize the labor hours worked well publicly proving a share of its production.

This has been a great thread lads, even though I already knew about most of what has been said here, it is still good to hear about anecdotes and see some graphs. I have one advice to zoomers (from a millenial): live with your parents as long as possible, even well into your 30s. Do NOT fall for the rent meme. Do NOT fall for the mortgage meme. Live frugally and save as much as possible, invested in ANYTHING that will beat inflation.

its not a meme though. You can take the mortgage payments off your taxes, and inflation is actually a good thing when you're leveraged.

With the rates going on today I'm not sure this is true. Maybe if you slurped up the 2010 market.

You are killing me with the back to back trips, but imagine if you were the one who gives credit instead of the one getting in debt. Imagine if YOU were the bank. That's what it feels like seeing your money shitting out even more money.
I am not completely against debt. If it helps you step up and significantly increase your salary (getting a non-meme degree, buying a car that doesn't lose parts while driving), go for it. But a fucking house? Imagine paying for someone else's house + the total amount of interest he paid + interest on that entire amount at a much higher rate because you are taking a mortgage in the worst economy in a century. Investing + buying in cash will always beat taking a mortgage, assuming you live with your parents.

>Investing + buying in cash will always beat taking a mortgage
Lets say I buy a house for $100k cash, then sell a year later for $110k. 10% ROI

Now lets say I buy the same house for $20k cash, and get a 30 year mortgage for the remaining $80k at a rate of 8%. I sell the house for $110k at the end of the year just the same. I just punched those numbers into an amortization calculator and it says that the monthly payment is $587.01, or 7,044.12 a year, which reduced the principal by $668.29.

So I repay the bank the balance of the loan, which is $79,331.71, and of the $110k purchase price am left with $30,668.29, which is over 50% ROI.

Now imagine if instead of putting your $100k into buying one house cash and getting 10% ROI, you used it to buy 5 houses with a mortgage and got 50% ROI on all of them.

I guess I got schooled. I never investigated enough into mortgages because I inherited a warehouse and renovated it to a house. Your math also assumes prices going up, what is the math for when prices go down? Also if it were this easy to make money, every other bozo with some spare change would be doing this shit. You must be missing something, what about early mortgage payoff penalty?

>> No.58373864

>>58373380
That was just a simple example to show how leveraging your money greatly increases your purchasing power and potential ROI. In reality obviously there are more considerations, but here's another fun fact for you. When you sell property you have a 6 month window to use the it to purchase more property, and it won't be declared as capital gains.

So lets say you bought your house for $100k and sold it some time later for $200k. Normally you would owe $100k in capital gains taxes on that transaction. But instead you then go and buy a $200k house with the cash from the transaction, and then after you buy it you take a mortgage on the property for $160k. Now you owe $0 in capital gains taxes, AND you can do whatever you want with the $160k, since it's considered a bank loan rather than capital gains. You could use that to buy additional property or any other investment, or anything else.

And yes, any bozo can do this, you just have to have the initial capital and creditworthiness.

We need to build new homes with the robots built-in. Designing robots to perform tasks in the existing homes, as drop-in replacements for jobs like plumber and electrician, is dumb. Having a robot that can...
>navigate an arbitrary home layout (possibly up or down stairs) to find the kitchen
>recognise the kitchen sink
>recognise that a nut needs to be fastened
>find the nut
>orient a wrench to the nut
>tighten the nut
... is unbelievably hard despite being incredibly simple for a person - so simple that obviously nobody would really hire someone to do it, but it demonstrates that replacing humans 1:1 with robots won't work.
If we could rebuild all the houses then the sink could have its own robotic arm programmed to know where all the nuts are (turn one servo 15°, next servo 30°, the spanner is now hovering over nut #2) or put a radio in every brick, nut and floorboard so the robots needn't rely on vision. Self-driving cars would be a solved problem if they could've re-tarred the roads and remade all the signs with radio emitters embedded in them.
