    Idk I remember if you worked at Sears selling VCRs you could afford a modest home. Or at least an apartment without having roommates. You could get a car and see concerts, ballgames, and movies. The food wasn’t all garbage processed milk and eggs were cheap a lb of burger was like 2 bucks. Cable TV/streaming wasn’t 150 dollars a month. You still could make it work. After 9/11 that dream ended.

      2001-2008 there was still hope… but yeah once they bailed out the parasite class, then successfully suppressed public lashing out in NYC. It was a wrap for the pedon class but even then most were in denial until COVID hit.

      THEN THEY AGAIN BAILED OUT THE PARASITE CLASS

      I think we are finally hitting the critical mass of population who got woke on the class war issue.

        Yep. The college education I got in the early 00’s now costs 4x as much.

        Young people now are screwed. I am glad I never procreated.
