I think the points that are universally valid is that with adjustments to inflation, global competition worse than it was decades ago after WW2 and the decades after WW2, increased taxation and inefficiency of economy with harder policies and enforcement of labor laws and the such, today's adults are indeed at a huge disadvantage. The Boomers did, for all practical purposes, get the best of everything except better tech which the generations after got earlier. The point is that younger adults are poorer and will always be poorer than the previous generations up to Boomer. There is also truth that individual Boomers with money are often times the ones who buy up guns and ammunition in times like the Sandy Hook drought, these assholes helped to create and perpetuate the drought of ammunition, magazines, guns. Boomers are also, in general, selfish and egotistical, the selfish part comes in when they have the atttiude of "Fuck you, I have mine, I don't care if you can't get it" which really is a trait that is widespread in that generation.
The only positive thing I can say is that some guns are technically cheaper today with inflation. Some durable consumer goods like tools sometimes are cheaper with inflation as well, for the consumer its a win and lose scenario, like everything else. We can buy all the cheap Chinese plastic crap we want. In some cases we might even be able to afford nice power tools at a rate far, far, far, far cheaper today than yesteryear. Some guns may be cheaper with inflation, others horribly overpriced. The fact is some people might find buying some guns cheaper now than in the decades previous in the same position; others the exact opposite because of prices and power of earnings and cost of living.
If you can get a decent job and live at home and slit the throat of your expenses, you can buy nice things on a low budget. People who today have to buy or rent housing in an eternal housing bubble market that entire system works overtime to bubble up and pump up endlessly get raped. If they are in a job and/or place their earnings continually lose power and they cannot change, and pay for expensive housing and increasing taxes, they will indeed watch as they are driven into a place where they are not in poverty, but their ability to buy things will be worse than people in that position for 70 years.

Yeah that's sort of a requirement to be a business since last I checked there aren't very many government-ran restaurants. Unless you mean publicly owned companies on the stock market but I very much doubt it.
Caleb Jackson
That's what I meant, moron. It's not a corporation, it's a private small business. One owner, two managers, and like 22 or 24 employees total on all shifts. Go back to your unionist fantasy world where everything is socialist cubicles with no room for advancement.
Zachary Lewis
Oh I don't deny that. If you save properly and budget properly (and get rid of/don't have debt), you can have nice things and live pretty comfortably on poor man wages. I just want people to be aware of the caveat that if you value things like family, dignity,and a sense of ethics clearly unlike e01f05 who's a self-centered bastard living in his fantasy world you'll have to compromise at some point on these things or just use your money when you have it instead of saving up since you won't be able to save up. Poorfags should be less concerned about one or two gun lines being overpriced and focus more on what is in their price range. Better to have a couple shitty guns that you know how to use well and can maintain rather than an overpriced import (due to boomer gun dealers) that you're afraid to fire lest an expensive part breaks.
Nigger those "private small businesses" are the main importers of illegals. I should know since I work for one that only has some 30 employees. With the exception of farms, it's the small factories and businesses that can write off one or two illegals in under-the-table cash payments, not the multi-million corporations who just lobby for the illegals in congress. Shit, every roofing company in a three-city radius out here consists of about 40% illegals, 40% sons of illegals, and 20% official employees on the books who mostly just keep an eye on the illegals. is justified in his question.
Also I'm beginning to seriously doubt you actually work at all since you were shitposting all over the place inbetween my work breaks earlier today/are still shitposting right now.

If the best you can come up with to rationalise your own inadequacy is emotional coping, then please, do society a favour and swallow your own blackpill. Just quit. I'm at the age where I'm well-to-do and living below my means, and I'm looking for the right girl to settle down with. I haven't found one yet that I'm willing to try for, so at the moment I'm doing right by my roommate and staying prepped for whatever may come.
My mother had corrective neck surgery at the beginning of January for damage that's accumulated ever since a car accident she was in over a decade ago. They removed and replaced two vertebrae and fused three others. I've been to see her every chance I had time, and spent the weekend with her for my birthday.
You don't know shit about family or what it means to be a man, you worthless Jew. All you know is how to complain, blame, and attack. You're nothing.
>Still believing in unicorns I've been at it a long longer than you, I can almost guarantee it. I don't even disagree with the notions of "hard work" and "self-sufficiency" but it's important to work smarter, not harder for some kike businessman who doesn't actually care about you. Despite user's insistence on me being a commie I'm probably further to the opposite end of the spectrum than he is politically. I've encountered all walks of life, sat down for beers with both CEOs of companies and homeless niggers on their last limb trying to get by. Even a few senators before realizing the whole political bullshit isn't worth the effort and LARPing on an online Taiwanese shadow-puppet space wasn't worth the effort. The difference is that user lacks empathy (which is a key characteristic and is likely why he's stuck at McDicks-tier wages if he works at all) and is likely autistic.
And that's terrible what happened to your mother. I'll pray that she doesn't suffer much longer but I'm glad you have a working relationship with her. A lot of parents shouldn't be raising children (not that anyone else will give a shit about those kids) and a lot of folks don't have functional parent-child relationships any more, so what you have is truly a blessing.
Where I am going to disagree absolutely is the quality of gun. I'm ancient minded, oldest of the old and all that, how did people throughout history deal with such things, when poverty was normal and hardship constant, things were hard to make and come by? It was far better for the poor man to buy one really good thing that would last him, and possibly some of his children and grandchildren, and require less repair. Old gunners bought one good rifle and/or shotgun or muzzle loader and shot that, instead of a plethora of cheap guns. This applies to other things, but it remains true in firearms to this day. People often prefer to own a larger arsenal of cheap guns rather than one REALLY expensive hunting or marksman rifle. If you are poor and are going to shoot, buy one really nice gun and save your pennies for it. Buying cheap guns to fill out a collection is the task of people with more means or ability because of budgets, the poor shooter is the man who should consider a cheap gun last.

nigger I made $8/hr at some shitty factory literally working the skin off my hands. fuck boomers and their shitty "work harder :^)" If I worked any harder my body would seize up and I'd fucking die day of the pillow when
