we need a young people awareness rally. Or some govt programs.

No we don't. We need government programs to stop protecting boomers and their government retirement programs.


2008 didn't help millennials, it helped boomers.

Our government has been propping up boomers for too long now.

We are showing you the data that it is much harder starting out now than when you were starting out. That's all.

Again, what’s your point? Yes, houses are expensive. Yes, food is expensive. Thank the jackasses in DC and the love for big government spending that has deflated the dollar. By the way, your generation seems to love big government just as much if not more than previous ones. So you’re not exactly blameless in that.

why are we acting like millennials don't cook? I cook 90% of our meals.

According to a 2022 survey, 90% of North American millennials cook at home, and 6.7 days a week on average. 63% of millennials cook at home because it's healthier, and one in five would rather have a special meal at home than go to a restaurant. Millennials also spend more on groceries and food at home than other generations, averaging $112.83 per week on groceries and $5,867 per year on food at home

The point is your pov is outdated and ignores facts.



At least do some homework before you spout off b/s. Boomers & Gen X favor democrats by 6 pts and 11 pts respectively.

Because they're married to a narrative and facts won't change that stance.

Nobody fricking said we were!!!!!! Just some damned acknowledgment that the economic landscape is significantly more challenging now for young families than it was in the 60’s, 70’s, 90’s, and 90’s and rhat a LARGE portion of the reasons for this are government overreach by politicians during this time and in the early 2000’s.

Why did you not list millennials and zoomers? Not convenient to your pity party?

Another funny feature of the housing market is the boomer CEOs forcing their workers to work at the office despite modern technology providing the means to do otherwise.

What are downstream effects of that? More people forced into cities where the boomer invested commercial and residential real estate sits, higher rent costs, smaller housing units or long commutes into cities. I.e., tolls, gas, car maintenance, higher car insurance, more accidents.

Nearly everything in America is geared towards boomer wealth.

If younger workers could work more remote they could live further out and afford more housing and more space for kids/families.

But stupid boomer pension funds need cattle in the areas they've got money invested.

Remote work may be viable for some industries, but I still believe firmly that to build an organizational culture you need to physically be with people.

I know that’s an outdated view, but remote work just doesn’t fit for certain industries.

---

Many situations where that's not even debated and there is just an Old school mentality about remote work.


Remote work should be available where it's possible. I don't find that to be the case.

That's only a piece of why, housing especially, is so expensive. A lot of the problem is NIMBYs at the local level. Zoning to limit the types of housing and where housing is built. Seems like every new development proposal gets cries about traffic, crime, or think of the bighorn sheep that graze there two weeks a year (Vail is the worst).
