The feel of the decline in our purchasing power? No one I know is getting married. I'm in my early 20's and all the girls I've dated abhor the concept of kids, guys I know drown their sorrow in alcohol and weed (meth, for some) and you can forget about housing that is soaring well past $250,000 for a matchbox in a semi-decent neighborhood.
My question is this: where's the tipping point? Is revolution coming? I really feel like it's about to pop off. The depression, anxiety and overall sense of dread is just taking a fucking beating out of me. I know we all want to make it, but to be honest some of us aren't going to make it. I just want what I was told I'd have by now, but I was told a lie. We all were >inb4 hurr durr nice blog faggot fuck you. This is getting real. 30,000,000 on goy bux right now. SHIT'S FUCKED HOW TO PROFIT FROM ECONOMIC COLLAPSE???
The successful are professional wage labor who got with the program and did literally everything right
The real alphas did everything right from the get go and played the system to get what they wanted out of it
My best friends have overdosed
Thomas Johnson
unironically this^. just realize that it's all going to end in blood and destruction, and get ready to have some fun.
Ian Carter
Elaborate, Vaguestradamus
Benjamin Barnes
I'm sorry to hear that, user. Do you know what caused them to OD? I have some friends who are into some dumb shit right now and I don't know if losing them would make this shit show any better.
Nathan Scott
Based.
Jacob Watson
This Soon brothers, very soon
Parker Evans
These "routs" in the markets sure are getting worse, aren't they? Obviously the government gas lights us. Trust your guts and intuition, anons. Shit's fucked from here to hell and high water. We need to utilize this thread to build a bullet proof portfolio to weather this fucking shit storm. How would we even buy land in a hyperinflation scenario?
I really wish we could make some fucking "Zig Forums approved autist financial survival guide"
It's crazy that my brothers and all of my friends are in their 30's now and nobody has kids. this generation is fucked
Aaron Barnes
It's always been this way you are just getting older and have become more aware of it. You have transcended the self awareness that you develop as a teen into social awareness of an adult.
Carter Wright
This current system is severely overvalued. I believe that the market is going to crash again. I don't think that there is any saving it without just fucking what's left of the dollar in regard to purchasing power. Get your anuses ready, lads. The hard times haven't even started yet. This is a short squeeze between the boys and men. Try to stay stronk, frens.
That's really sad to hear. This girl I know really wants a family but is very fearful of the cost of raising them in an uncertain world. I believe we all live life in fear. Maybe we'd be more fulfilled if we all just took a leap of faith into dating that right person or committing a little longer to each other I would imagine so, but this is not sustainable. Eventually the Dollar is going to go to 0 and we're all going to collectively lose our fucking minds over it as we built a terrible society that worships money. I just can't seem to understand why people are so willing to get bent. What will it take? A $1,000 six pack? $20,000 pound of beef???
Gen X here. Even trades are fucked now. In the late 90's to 2007 i was earning £49 per hour and it was $2 to £1- So $98 per hour as a plumber for a company and was lazy as fuck. Crazy PP Would be lucky to get $20 now, can make about $40 ph on private jobs. The party is over. Really is...
Samuel Bell
Fucking how is socialism even going to be implemented in the United States? I just can't see some dude in Wyoming submitting to faggots in DC or some guys in Maine accepting it either. This country is too large. We are the exception.
They had some Jew fund manager on Bloomberg saying he predicted decades of stagnation with little growth and that the response would be for America to become more like Europe or Canada.
For the love of all that is righteous and good, let the Americans keep their Constitutional rights no matter what happens to their economic system. Western Europe is... hard to watch.
One was a manlet from the projects who lived with me growing up. He died almost a decade after I moved away, after coming out of rehab and ODing on dope.
One was a fierce Italian-Dominican with a highly reactive temperament (he got in a machete standoff with the SWAT team and was said to have stabbed some thug in New Haven). He overdosed on some pills he had on hand, as he was a dealer himself. His mother and baby mama had been fighting with him that night because they wanted him to get a real job, despite all the money he was making. He did not wake up, leaving behind year-old twins.
Kevin Peterson
Idk those gold fags make more sense when you look at the amount of "wealth" people think are worth. They sure do have plenty of starving billionaires in Venezuela right now. Fuck, I need a cigarette
It's going to take a world conflict/strife to crash the dollar. Last I saw the dollar was 70% of the worlds foreign reserve currencies, so it shouldn't be thought of as simply a currency for a single country.
Gavin Foster
When the system collapses the stupid majority will want to blame the inflation on someone and they will blame whites. I'm heading to my bunker.
Parker Thomas
what are some predictions for a hypothetical dollar crash?
Saudi arabia loses most of their oil reserves or china/russia creates green energy that's cheaper than oil. Neither is likely. We will become like Japan unless we open the boarders.
Julian Mitchell
Damn, that's just tragic. I'm gonna try and help my friends but I'm just getting ready for the shoe to drop if it does.
Are you a retard? Modern socialist democracies aren't Cuba during the cold War. It's literally just going to be increased taxes in exchange for social services. That's literally it.
Henry Rogers
we should already be at the tipping point but the ruling class is successfully keeping us divided up with race issues so that we don't unite to do anything about it and just fight amongst ourselves like animals while they laugh. everybody in washington needs to die, in minecraft. there's no other way out. then, bezos, gates, and every billionaire on down the line gets the bullet. or we can all just accept we have no future and keep larping as ss troops and red army and act like we're reenacting ww2
Asher Brooks
Dude its midnight and I can't really see the problem in pic related. It's pointing out that money is made out of nothing or something right? Or am I missing something more important?
Nathan Thompson
Wow, your ID is BIZ Congrats, you're king of the board for a day
Yes, but the value of said fiat currency is diminishing so why would the government tax unbacked debt notes to pay off an insurmountable debt that is added to without regard for the future? Just the entire concept of MMT makes my fucking brain hurt. It ain't right.
No. Lobbiests will make loopholes for the rich like in the 60's. You can't take the money away from the rich. As a country we have never taken more than 17% of total income to taxes even with a 90% tax rate. If you go after the rich they either pay off politicians or leave to a country that won't tax them. The only way to fix inequality is to make everyone poor. Think about it. If everyone had the same net worth we'd all be poor. Crypto Jew here. The rich always win. Don't like it but it's just the way it is.
Jacob Parker
Higher taxes = less supply = less debt
You can unironclly thank trump for this shit show of fiat currencies while your stock portfolio moons, not like it was backed by anything in the first place but there was a lot less supply
Also this is why the othet user is saying we're reenacting ww2 - devaluing of currency drives a wedge between rich and poor
Anthony Powell
>Nice trips, you really are a crypto jew I was responding to another user who posted some autistic shit please check againe
Carson Fisher
everything is fukt What do we do? Ill continue to drown myself in weed and booze every minute im not on the clock until i or one of you faggots figures it out FML
Robert Parker
I'm 38 and have never 'made it'. Though thus far my life has been absolutely crazy and I got a million stories out of it so far. Money is a poor substitute for life. If you have food, a roof, a car, a partner you have actually made it. That is a standard of living already much of the world dreams of, and far higher than your ancestors ever had. You can't outrun stress, or death, so enjoy the small things.
Wyatt Reed
I know this is Zig Forums and that the system you described is socialdemocracy (even to some a "social-market economy") or something like that. Socialism as socialism is fighting for the workers to get the factories,etc,etc,etc. But as we know, the only country that does purely that is NK, and they even are very flexible in that sense. So meh, AOC is a mild socialdemocrat, US citizens have internilized too much the red scare, even for their own detriment.
Justin Kelly
Except Europoors chinks and ruskies iran blah blah are all trying to switch to something else. The dollar won't be reserve for long. Everyone knows how much the fed is printing and no one wants to be left holding the bag.
