That's a bunch of bulls hit. There are tons of opportunity to have a great career and make plent5bof money. Get a degree that has real potential to get a great job....or, pursue a trade, which is even better. So sick of hearing the young whining when they get basic studies degrees, or worse.

Someone has to be able to sell the upside of capitalism to the younger generation

They aren’t getting it through education. It’s the opposite

And it doesn’t help to see our president cashing in through the power of the presidency.

All of this boils down to how expensive everything is now like homeownership. It’s the economy plain and simple.

If the Biden Puppet Masters hadn't tried to destroy the Economy we wouldn't be in this boat. Funny how those Leftist ideas have now morphed into a socio-economic death wish.

You should probably avoid threads on economics because you lack even a basic understanding. Stabilizing inflation or lowering its trajectory doesn’t mean prices are going to ever drop to pre Covid levels. I don’t know how many times you are going to continue to post that stupidity. Inflation has been created by bad monetary policy and trillions in debt, not the war in Iran. That is temporary fuel cost inflation but you will experience inflation similar to Biden’s although likely worse if Democrats pimp amnesty and reopen the borders. Unfortunately, you can’t seem to grasp that basic concept

Well the group holding all the wealth are retiring with pensions from their jobs that they got with a high school degree so seems disingenuous to berate them over this



Additionally the person vowing to bring those jobs back is busy in the Middle East just like the “capitalist” presidents before him.



Anytime they vote R they get someone more invested in the Middle East than at home

CPI was 2.9 in 2024 it’s 3.4 for the last 12 months.


Does that match up with Trumps promises?

Ok, grandpa. It's not like education costs (and student loans) have skyrocketed, housing costs have skyrocketed, food costs twice what it did 10 years ago, and young people entering the workforce have to compete both with AI and all the H1Bs the government keeps letting in, all while real wages are stagnating and the government stacks up 40 trillion in debt. They just need to go give the boss a firm handshake, or all go be plumbers.

Being the party of rich boomers telling young people "quit whining" is definitely going to work out well for the anti-socialists.

I can’t stand Joe and I’ve never voted D.



I’m trying to clean up my own house.



We had a rare opportunity with a YOUNG generation voting R and Trump has pissed all over it and instead y’all lovingly personify this meme

Socialism isn't the answer, but the brand of capitalism currently dominating our nation isn't healthy either. One will destroy us quickly, one is in the process of killing us slowly. Neither are good.

The fact that you screwed up trying to do an emoji is "chef's kiss" on the dish of the knowitall internet boomer who lucked into being born into one of the greatest and most prosperous economic situations in world history and now thinks he's Andrew Carnegie.
