It can make sense when you deep dive into how much debt the average millennial is currently sitting on + costs oh healthcare and other necessary goods that have not come down.
Don't you think debt is related to spending?

Its easy to blame the Left because in reality a lot if not all of their policies have generated these issues as well as magnified them there's no debate here.
While this is true, and while it's also true that young people vote Lefties into office, what I was referring to in my last post was the narrative you find on social media, probably finding its genesis on campuses, that millennials are economic victims of boomers. That's politically driven from the Left.
quote:
l;dr Repubs can do the right thing here by simply not being the left, yet they choose too ignore the problem. Doing nothing after observing that something is indeed off, is in my opinion, just as wrong.
What is off? Be specific.
quote:
1) How do we measure "life is pretty f'n good" ? Or I should ask you what are your parameters to meet this metric?
By any reasonable, realistic and economically accurate metric you want.
Housing is routinely the focus of these discussions but not done very well. What does the data say that a) considers the difference in "median" or "starter" home between now and when boomers were buying starter homes, b) considers the movement of markets (the timing of cycles), c) considers changes in buyers, for example - what would data show us for married couples (millennials and boomers 40 years ago) as opposed to all millennials/boomers?
quote:
2) Data suggests Millennials are worse off than their parents at the same age (30). Something which never happened before.
And my argument is the data you're looking at is flawed, and contrived by Leftists with an agenda.
Logically, does it make sense that millennials are worse off than their parents when they spend like they do?

More interested in making sure the kids behind me have something to live for because im pretty much at the cut off point from where this party really starts.
You're the 97th millennial (of 98) participating in these boomers stole our prosperity bitch threads to self-report being well off. A rational person would start to wonder how that can possibly be if what's whined about is true. Could it be that millennials are just as fortunate as Xers and boomers and silencers to have been born an American, and that life is actually pretty f'n good all things considered?
Life in America has never been better and easier than it is today, and 50 years ago it was better and easier than 50 years prior. American prosperity persistently works that way, and did not magically skip your generation. To believe otherwise ignores reality and accepts a shitty narrative created/advanced by the Left.
re: Noncitizen Says She Voted In Multiple Georgia Elections

If they let her vote... can't she just claim she thought it was okay?
Is this really all on her?
For federal elections, that's actually written in the code. A fraudulent voter only needs to say that at the time they voted, they believed it was legal for them to do so - and they're free of any accountability.
Isn't this an Obama-era thing made up of bureaucrats with a remit to watch out for the damage bureaucrats wreak on the financial system?
re: Saints contract- who approves?

Saints get approximately 600million in revenue through building naming rights, concessions, etc
I do not approve of this contract that hides a $600 million annual subsidy to a private entity. Do you?
Where'd you come up with $600 million per year?
SoFi's naming rights deal for the Rams/Chargers stadium is $30 million, and I'm willing to bet the Superdome gets something in the neighborhood of half of that.
Concessions at an NFL game is in the $2-3 million range.
Parking for an NFL game is in the $1-2 million range.
Are you counting ticket, suite and broadcast rights revenue?

Millennials and Xers are still working and are more adaptable.
You're just making shite up.
Yeah, most millennials and Xers are still working, but remember your whine about them not making much in real terms? And they have kids at home, which boomers don't. And they have substantially less wealth compared to boomers. And they have substantially less equity in their homes than boomers do.
quote:
Im a homeowner and I think my neighbors having MORE OPTIONS and lower prices to buy houses is a good thing, even if it hurts my own home equity
This is retarded but hey, why don't you just do it? You don't need home prices to collapse to show everyone how super duper virtuous you are. Just sell your home for $100K under market to a struggling millennial couple. You'll be a hero.

Homeowners, of which there are more millennials and gen-X'ers than boomers.

Because boomers overwhemingly held the most political power then and had the most to lose if banks had failed, mortgages loans were called and the stock market crashed (aka a massive market correction).
Boomers are less than 30% of the electorate. In 2008, it would have been more than that but less than 40%.
Today, there are about twice as many millennials + Gen-X'ers than Boomers, but magically Boomers still hold all the power? You're making an argument that millennials are retarded, not that boomers are thieves.

Instead we decided at that very moment that wed always intervene to make sure the economy "grow" by printing as much money as necessary to punt the problem to tomorrow.

The only ones up in arms about prices going down are old people who have tons of equity(that they did nothing to earn in the first place)
There are more non-boomer homeowners than boomer homeowners.
And the notion that a homeowner doesn't earn the equity in their home is as weird as it is retarded.

Good, and building more homes will drive them down even further.
Non-whiners have been telling whiners like you to do this in the dozens of "boomers stole my prosperity" bitchfests on this board. You apparently agree, so why aren't more homes being built?

Well, what do you call the notion of white privilege and the idea that things of value (preferences, reparations) must be given non-whites to make up for whitey's transgressions? Isn't that a suggestion that whitey has done bad?

And are we including legal things like legal MIV and ballot harvesting as fraud?
Fraudulent MIV and fraudulent ballot harvesting is still fraudulent.
For example in Arizona MIV, an immediate family member can drop off ballots and there may be a cap on the number, let's say there is and it's five. So there is legal MIV. But if you've got someone not an immediate family member dropping off a few hundred ballots, that's fraud. Same story about harvesting.
Do you believe there is meaningful registration/voter fraud in the US at the federal election level?

It's more I understand the patterns of the conspiratorial mind and the shitty rhetoric that's has developed since 2016. They have been given a few talking points they don't fully understand and can't adequately defend, so when they are backed into a corner they jump to other talking points there been told to use.
You can ask a few of the participants in this thread - I argued the silliness of the "tabulators in Maricopa county" argument for months on here, as well as the embarrassing "case" that Kari Lake's lawyers put on in her election fraud hearing. I know the difference between BS designed for social media (clicks and contributions) and the system we have that was quite literally put together to foster fraud.
And recognize that you're not different in arguments than "they" are. When challenged you often resort to "that's a different topic" rather than addressing the overriding point - our elections are compromised.

That's why if they can't pivot, the next move is to attack the facts as fraudulent.

Yep. And you do it, too.
Answer this simple question - do you think there is meaningful registration/voter fraud in the US at the federal elections level?

Very possible. However even that doesn't prove fraud.
It should be easy for you to wrap that huge brain of yours around something so simple.
It is nearly impossible to prove fraud that's staring you in the face. That's by design. Not unlike watching NBA basketball.

Just look at how so many want to leave the context of this story and get very upset when forced to remain within its framing.
That's because your approach is like we're in a courtroom, with evidentiary rules, etc., rather than look at the big and obvious picture and agree, "yeah this whole thing is fricked up."
