Probably in 1980 because operations was not thought of back then as an equivalent to 150-200k job as it is now. Pay for plant ops has increased vs goods where other jobs haven’t.

The first thing they do when you disagree with them is assign you as some caricature of what they’re arguing against. Low IQ shite

Seems to be okay here. Inflation cooling down slightly. Housing prices still very high though.

Would suck to be trying to start out right now. But as a 40 year old with a high net worth for my age…I’m seeing a lot of good in this economy.

I’m not a communist retard and it’s a hard question to answer, but the increase wealth disparity in this country is a big issue

You’re doing exactly what I just said, and I’ve never as much as suggested anything even close to that

I’m willing to have an intelligent conversation with you about this, because as I said, you seem otherwise decently intelligent. But you’ve gone full retard here

frick if I know, and minimum wage is worthless. I said probably because I wasn’t anlive and don’t know the hiring criteria. Can you provide statistics from the 80s at this plant so we are sure?

And the reason it’s easier is because the purchase power of a plant operator has gone up.

You ghosted the money board because your stock picks all got crushed
If you can link to just one stock pick I've made on the Money Board in the last 5 years that "got crushed" I'll never post on this board again.

If you can't do that, then you never post on this board again. Deal?

And I certainly haven't "ghosted" the Money Board. I've posted on it a half dozen times just in the last week.

You continue to make shite up, even when it's just a red herring argument. That's what losers do.

Try 60 years ago. Having both parents working has been a necessity for quite some time.

I’ll provide statistics the second you do

It was $3.10 back then btw

It’s not sour grapes or jealousy to say a person like you, who I assume is much like me, had an easier road to wealth by virtue of when you were born. You worked your arse off I’m sure.

Just don’t get so offended when we call a spade a spade

This is of course not true when you have large urban centers mandating minimum wages close to $20/hour

People that work their arse off now get way less return than people who worked their arse off 20 years ago. I have no idea why people have such a hard time admitting that, it’s like that take it as some kind of indictment against them. Very weird

Turns out 4 years of printing money to finance wars that don't affect us was a worse idea.

Yep. I dont understand how they can keep paying those prices. I'm doing well and I refuse to spend even $3 on a cup of coffee. I refuse to pay more than $45,000 for a vehicle. Could I pay more? Easily, but it pisses me off and I guess I'm cheap. Indiscriminate moron consumers are a major part of the problem.

I aint poor at all. I used to eat prime ribeyes every weekend. Now it's maybe once a quarter. I used to smoke premium cigars now i only amoke rhe 12 dollar ones.

meanwhile i would definitely argue prime ribeye as a splurge is definitely a sign of being lower lower middle class, if not outright upper low class

your use of ain't makes me think its the poor
