40% of US workers don't earn a living wage. that means 40% of the population is dependent on >family >friends >or the government
to keep a roof over their head. I feel like something is wrong here. Why are we fostering a nation of dependents? What's going to happen a generation from now? is there going to be 3 generations living in one house?
Entitled millenials need to pull themselves up by their boot straps
Jaxon Nguyen
True. Back in my boomer days we worked hard on minimum wage. Hard work for 5 years to even afford a house at full cost. Millennials are just snowflakes who get "triggered" and want something stupid like "socialism" or "UBI". Maybe stop buying iPhone's every year and going to Starbucks the maybe you'll afford a house.

this but unironically

>is there going to be 3 generations living in one house That's already the case for many

It never lasts forever. Something will eventually give.
Gavin Powell
other cultures already do this why don't white people do it? and also insist on trying to live by themselves in the highest cost of living areas with nothing but an arts degree?
Tyler Green
Things that can’t go on forever don’t. Think of UBI as guillotine insurance.
White flight from the cities back to small towns. It happened before and it will happen again.
Wyatt Hill
whites need to be more like pajeets and buy gas stations and live 4 generations deep or whatever they do

I don't want to live with my parents and kids. living with your parents during most of your adult life is fucked up, how the fuck do brown people do it?
>Globalization outsources almost every job to cheaper 3rd world nations >Real Wages collapses in growth compared to GDP >Return on capital begins to grossly outperform return on labor leading to larger and larger financial gains to return back to the richest >The brightest minds on Zig Forums make a thread where they blame niggers and millennials for a trend that started while they were still in their dad's nutsack.
I'm always surprised when people notice something is definitely wrong, but refuse to do anything other than surface level research and decide to blame niggers and iPhones.
Yes, iPhones are the reason why wages began to collapse in the 90s. If only Steve Jobs hadn't used his iPhone to time travel back to the 90s and stifle growth of middle America.
This shit doesn’t make sense to me. I’ve been living on my own since I was 19. Working minimum wage $7.25 I had an apt and food and my bills paid, plus I got to splurge here and there on dumb shit. If you can pay your bills and you are alive, it is a livable wage.

Their family units aren't ruined by decades of feminism. Americans are the new niggers with their dysfunctional families.
Jaxson Reyes
It's also funny how people who are obviously poor consider iPhones and Starbucks luxury goods. Let says you spent $10/day at Starbucks from the time you were born. That means you would have spend $36,000 on Starbucks.
Where do they sell houses that cost 36k bro? You sound insane.
Benjamin Diaz
>I feel like something is wrong here There is Look up the 1965 immigration act and notice how women/immigrants entering the work force destroyed wage growth
Who pushed for these things, as well as dismantling the nuclear family?
okay but what was your rent when you were making minimum wage? something tells me someone cut you a deal user. did aunt sarah let you live in her spare bedroom for $200 a month?
It was actually $800 a month all utilities paid. I worked a lot of overtime at my shitty ass restaurant job and did side jobs doing flooring. Google houses for rent in Arkansas. There are some for $400
William Brooks
Limp-wristed city faggots love to cry about “livable wages”, then when they find affordable living they cry “flyover state”
So you utilities were included and you worked two jobs, one of which gave you overtime.
That doesn't sound like making it on minimum wage to me user. sounds like you got lucky with a sweet deal on an apartment, got lucky enough to get overtime, probably tips too since it was a restaurant and you did side job working a trade
you were far from minimum wage and you had your utilities paid for. you definitely can't make it on $7.25 alone, no one can, so why are you so confused when others cant? because you had more money?? i don't get it, you didn't make minimum wage
