It's tough to listen to. It's competitive victimhood and an external locus of control.

Poor people, today, are more or less subsidized into being lower middle class. Upper middle class people are taxed to the point it pushes them down.

This is a meaningless statement that's condescending with the patronizing diminutive to top it off. Keep going, "champ".

I pointed out the nonsense of your dad making 75 bucks a week and buying a home
You moved the goalpost immediately and said your mom made more
Scruffy and Johnny killed that
Times were tough then and are tough now
No need to bullshite
Nothing I posted was untrue. You choose to believe that it was. I can't help that.

I’m 32, make nearly $200k a year and have a homes worth of stock options, I’m all good.
But I can also recognize everything being expensive AF and more poor people makes me worse off.
Again, not that hard.

No one cares what you do or how much you make and it's not pertinent.
Everything has gotten expensive AF. Where do I say it hasn't? In fact I'm pretty sure somewhere in this thread I alluded to the same thing. Yep here it is:

I think the disconnect is that when people say it's tough now (and Holy shite, it is) they don't want to hear how tough it was 40 years ago because it's not helpful. What people are saying and should say more plainly is "this too shall pass" and to stick with it and to not get discouraged. Keep working hard and keep sacrificing. Don't succumb to the black pill and give up on your goals.

This statement was afterwards when attempting to empathize and relate in order to foster constructive dialogue. I only continued with the original statement to address those who had issue with what I originally said. It's a sequence, see? A thread even.

You cant have constructive dialogue with some people.

All i can say is that the US Congress no longer works for Americans, hasnt for quiet sometime now...particularly if we make comparisons to the 50s/60s.
Another thing that never gets mentioned in these threads is insurance rates, but anytime that gets brought up its quickly shot down by older folks as "well move" and there is some really misunderstood concepts of how the job economy is in decent paying jobs if you dont have experience in a field or a college education...and you are sitting there as a millenial/xlennial in your mid 30s-40s. Switching a career field is going to be damn near impossible.
I got lucky and moved/bought at the right time but not everyone cant get that combo in life. I feel like back in the 50s or 60s, you had a higher chance of that probability. And you could just switch jobs mid career and chase a buck.
Im a statistician by trade, and the argument gets brought up to show alternative data but the problem is NO DATA nowadays isnt manipulated by any media or corporation/ngo/govt agency producing them...and si ce the 50s we've had a huge development in statistics in terms of ways to manipulate data to fit an objective.
Thats to say you cant even interpret data nowadays be ause what you get is already going through a filter before public release

That data doesn't matter to young whiners. I've been telling them the same thing you just posted for years. They're not about to let facts get in the way of their generational pity party.
The houses the OP posted as examples of houses that young people could buy, but choose not to had an average value of like $800k
He was clearly memeing other posters in these types of threads that post about having to settle for a ~1800 sqft 3/2 in a suburb when they were starting out not knowing that those are like 450k+ in most relatively safe metro areas.

You still want adults older than you to die?
