Thanks for letting me know not to correspond with you...the old saying argue with a fool, you become one. Proverbs.

You have about the same success rate in understanding why GenZ might be experiencing some discontent with their current prospects

It is easy to understand. Every single generation, when young, supported whatever progressive ideas were put forth. Famous quotes exist about this. It is nothing new.

This however is not a defense of tUSA's business as usual policies. I will say what we have now is not that close to capitalism. Government meddles in it way to much to be capitalism.

What does make housing affordable?


Housing cannot be made more affordable outside of an economic recession because real estate is limited by available land. We cannot manufacture more land. So as population grows, land stays the same, more demand for land with limited supply. This means higher prices and why housing inflation outpaces inflation of other goods, because supply of other goods can be increased. Sure you can build more houses, but you have to buy the land and that gets more expensive meaning the homes built on it get more expensive. The solution is to build vertical but everyone feels entitled to a 4 bedroom 2 story suburban home

If we actually had a system of capitalism in place, they wouldnt be rejecting it. They know the system is rigged, and they know no one gives a damn about them. So they will drift towards whomever or whatever at least addresses them personally, and communism feasts off of these opportunities.

Just wait until the next generation comes out behind them. They’ll have grown up using AI for critical thinking. AI programmed by an industry that willingly chilled Americans’ speech during 2020-2021 at the behest of Fauci, Biden, and the left. Meanwhile retarded boomers think AI is how we beat the libs.

Speaking of taxes, it is always those with the least burden who ask for more gifts paid for by taxation.

Then they are as expected, daf if they choose communism. That actually speaks to why they probably struggle...theybarent good employees. I know plenty young people in good fields that are killing it. It is out there if you plan and are dedicated.

American poverty isn’t real poverty.

34k American is “American poverty”

That “American poverty” puts you squarely in the 1% of the world.

We have more than enough land. Government regulations are far far far more the cause than “unavailable land”
