Todays thirty year olds didn't cause this, dem-lites like you did.
Stop voting GOPe.
Speaking of the uneducated or under educated. Sorry if my work ethic has caused you to be poor and misinformed. Most of us see that as your fault.

Nah, its just quicker. Efficiency, dinosaur.

In earlier times they'd either join the military or enter the workforce and work their way up.
Exactly, and where did those jobs with a long term trajectory go? Who was cheerleading the profits and increased stock prices (not an actual measure of the economy's health) while the next generation's opportunities for meaningful work eroded? It wasn't the people in their 30's now.
What do we have now to show for our race towards high value 401ks and cheap consumer goods? We have a materialistic society where worker has no long-term attachment to company (and vice versa) and none want to talk of anything that would diminish stock price gains (or question whether the giant game is really an exercise I'm collective make believe). The objective good of meaningful labor is no longer talked about. A gig economy which pays no regard for the needs of the family is the payoff.
Would we really be worse off if the employer pension was a key feature of mass retirement planning? If student loans and the usury industry weren't allowed to work with colleges to always justify more (debt allowance)? If manual labor and the trades hadn't been derided, but instead had been celebrated? If we looked at manufacturing as delivering something "good" (meaningful work) for the masses who can't simply "learn to code"?

This might have teeth if most 20-30 year olds wanted to change course and downside government.
But you frickers don't, yall want more!

Well my father made 50k/yr in 1970 which equates to roughly 400k/year today. I make over 100k which equates to roughly 5k/year in 1970.
Not that hard to figure out why we are struggling...

Todays 30 year olds have voted in 3 presidential cycles - that is Obama/trump/biden and the democrats control of the house and senate
So... yeah they have had a significant impact

A significant reason this may be so is that the 30 year old’s parents generally have done so well. The bar is set much higher than it was when the boomers were seeking to exceed the level of prosperity enjoyed by their Depression-era parents.

Boomer's refuse to help others build wealth. Incurring huge debts on SS, not moving on from jobs, not passing anything around, burning through heir cash with constant spend and expansion, including of other people's money. Being an immovable voting block that politicians have to bow to.
The worst generation by far - completely selfish. And I am doing better than my parents, but Boomers are taxing me into the ground.

What about the 30 year olds in the Great Depression?
Posted on 4/24/24 at 2:13 pm to Zach
No the younger people are definitely dumber.

Bet the 30mm illegals are doing better than their parents!

The whole narrative is utter bullshite. Just whiny ramblings of soft people that have made this NYU professor rich/famous by feeding morons a narrative they want to hear.

So the election was not stolen? 30 year olds are the reason Biden got elected?

Here's a poster child for my argument. Your take is f'n retarded.

You get the government you elect, and it's your generation electing all the Dems.

This is parroted by every poster from your generation. Makes you wonder how accurate the whiny narrative is.
Moreover, it's your generation electing all the Democrats, and what's funny is the assholes you're electing are boomers (or older).

It’s pretty objective shite just costs relatively more today, I’m not sure how you even argue that other than throwing around insults like a pissy woman

I'm not sure how posting a graph showing the economic impact of moving off the gold standard in 1973, when most boomers were just entering the workforce, is an argument that generations behind boomers have it bad in ways boomers a) didn't, and in fact b) caused.
My general point - life gets better and easier with time. You'd have to believe technology, and all it has provided/improved the last few decades, has magically avoided benefiting everyone but boomers.

**Votes for old politicians**
Hey dumbass get your damn head out of your arse
On another note I'm sure the national debt is playing a part role in this unaffordable issue we have
