I think it was around 15 years ago but definitely after the 2008 financial crisis that boomers just did a 180 and started telling White kids that college was stupid and they should learn a trade instead.This is after spending the last 30 years preaching college as the only way you can get anywhere in life.You're literally going to be working at Mcdonalds for the rest of your life if you don't go to college. Thats what they told us.

Note that currently trump is importing 500k chinks to keep college prices high and to prevent them from failing. They sabotage you in every way they could.

And they will brag about doing it, and than act like they never did anything wrong in their saintly lives. As they laugh at your misfortune.

I wonder what their depression era parents/grandparents would have thought of them.

They might have been happy their children live better lives than they did. Suicide rate is higher today, than it was during great depression, btw.

I know my grandpa was supremely stoked about how much he and his wider society had become capable of, within his living memory. I feel sort of bad that he has to see what it‘s been turning into.

The worst part is not wearing shitty clothes and living a shitty poorfag life. Its living shitty poorfag life while being surrounded by extreme extravagance and opulence from all sides. Historically it ended up with bourgeoisie on the chopping block.

I mean I would order uber eats a couple times a week or so when I worked in a boiler room call center but that was because there wasn't many choices around (it was way out in the burbs) and they got on our asses if we didn't come back in time.

dude theres women in 7 figures of debt and call themselves "middle class" while living in their car. I know we are all autists here and plan for the future and can do basic math; that isnt everyone.The wake up seems quite hard on normies, it will need to be a few punches in the face.100 iq zoomers will still exist, and while boomers did 10% credit cards at that iq, zoomers at that iq are doing buy now pay later or gambling apps

the fact that we allow chicks working in call centers to rack up seven figures of debt through predatory lending says something about our society. Blaming it on the chick is like blaming a heroin addict for the junk the pusher sells.

Yes its loan shark shit to run a the buy now pay later app or do a college loan for a useless degree; but it is what it is all I can do is tell people to not do that and advocate for violence if you have a free chance or are suicidal.In light of that, a 28$ meal is a week worth of flour and most people are near that edge and I am indeed running that kind of math in my head

@Marakus @Terry I'm not American, but I can offer some advice: learn everything you think might be useful and divide your knowledge into two areas:A) Modern highly skilled work: use your knowledge.B) Traditional highly skilled/medium and low-skilled work: use all your skills and learn when practical office work exists, such as plumbing, electrical work, cleaning, repairs, agriculture, etc. In any crisis, it's best to know how to do everything; it's better to know how to survive and thrive in the face of the unknown. (Worst-case scenario)

@Marakus @Terry If you have savings, put some in dollars, gold, silver, land (only if you know how to farm), or some other resilient asset?

Then, the recent graduates were told to stop being greedy about expecting to get decent paying jobs that supplied what was needed for basic costs of living, since they weren't too good to work at McDonalds.There was no step to enter the real workforce like the lifetime programming implied.

"it's good for the economy" well, maybe just maybe sir, you know what guy, i'm not calling you sirthat aside, maybe, i just don't give a shit about the economy i can't participate in, maybe the society that is keeping me from having anything that is considered a normal life goal isn't worth doing anything for.

@Marakus @Terry today they'd deliberately redesign their packaging to make it difficult or impossible to reuserember when yogurt used to come in a plastic tub with a reusable lid? well now it's got a single use foil topcat litter used to come in buckets, now it's cardboard boxes and plastic jugs. can't be giving out buckets in case people reuse them instead of paying $10 for a brand new bucket.walmart already makes their grocery bags so flimsy they get holes in them from holding a single loaf of bread for 10 minutes, how long before the other grocery chains catch on to the fact people reuse their bags to put in trash cans and they find a way to ruin that?

You see, when people cant reuse their stuff its good for environment, because they are incentivized to recycle stuff they could use, instead of just using it as is.
