Remember when one could afford a house, a car and support an entire family by simply tightening screws/bolts or soldering wires to boards?
>>62557960The 1980's?I'm probably the only person here that old
>>62557960Low iq blue collar was never a good benchmark
Still can how much are you paid to cry like a loser
The unskilled grunts carrying around bags of cement and digging at construction sites back in the 1970s, who could just walk up to pretty much any building site to get a job, had an annual wage which was equivalent of roughly $135k today.We've been robbed
I just spent $300 on a lamp shade, pillow and 2 bars of soap lol
>>62558001Yep. My newspaper route paid something like $50k modern money when I was 12. My first job washing dishes paid something like $80k modern money
>>62557960The really funny part is it's just going to get worse and someday people will look back on the 2020's as the good old days
1950-1980 was the picotop of human civilization, it was not sustainable, boomers are retarded for thinking it would last forever when the historical performance of civilization has been mostly poverty timesthey should have used this prosperity to save multi generational wealth
>>62558030>they should have used this prosperity to save multi generational wealthWe did but now we're going to reverse mortgage it to go live on a cruise ship because our kids don't call and the retirement home is going to take the house anyways
>>62558005Cool. My little table for my remote control costs $700.
>>62558041Must be a nice table, I get all my stuff made from the amish
>>62558047Bruh. It is. Bro like 30 years ago I kicked over and totally destroyed my parents $1000 full crystal table. Lmao. $1000 at that time and pure crystal.
>>62558047Bro. Fuck the amish.
>>62557960>Rememberno
>>62557960I member
>>62558131Fuck you.
My grandfather on my mom's side was a plumber and had 3 houses. My grandfather on my fathers side was landed gentry. Im a homeless man with 500k in student debt last i checked. Its probably higher now.
>>62557960that was before kikes completely took over the world
>>62557960their houses sucked
>>62558997Holy shit he's literally me. I am Al Bundy. One paycheck away from disaster. One of these days Lois; bang, zoom, straight to the moon.
>>62557960If you weren't part of the top 10% in 2025, you're lower class
Wtf pharm bro
>>62558997If you read dumb shit on incel blogs enough times you believe it and then your life is over. I feel sorry for incels, brainwashed more than boomers and foids
>>62559076sure whatever you say good Goy
>>62558001They made good money because of white supremacy stealing from brown people and women. As the world becomes more equitable and inclusive whites will need to start checking their privileges
>>62558010>>62558001The crazy part is my paper route paid $20 for a weekend. Had I traded that for 1st edition Pokemon packs and kept them sealed until today, I would’ve been paid $90,000 per hour as a kid.
>>62557960That's when we had silver in our coinage.
>>62559547I got paid in Bitcoin when it was $3, I made $60,000 an hour, boomers had it so hard
Plenty of people still buy a house and support a family if they solder wires to boards well for the aerospace industry. I know some personally
>>62558001You weren't robbed, you were partying it up and "getting krunk" and fighting for social justice. Those were your priorities.
>>62559113most people weren’t putting their kid in college in the 70s
>>62557960Anybody here remember the good times? (70's and 80's)>No security cameras>No cellphones>Ultima on your Apple ][+ or Atari>Could say whatever you wanted and not be sanctioned/cancelled>Compliment a girl on her tits and she would blush and say thank you!>Guaranteed jobs straight out of high-school>Faggots beaten regularly>Secret porn stashes in the woods>Male teachers as role models>Cities not overrun by minorities>No helmets or any protective gear>Zero fear of germs>Real language with little euphemism>Exchanged letters with girls at school. Girls would even mail you letters.>Pictures actually meant something because you had to pay to get them processed>Friends were actual friends and had your back>Moms still knew how to cook>Smoking at school>Almost everyone got in fights at school. Right of passage.>Girls dressed up and did their hair even to goto 7-11>Porn was the Sears Catalog>All night skating at the rink. Dropped off at 6 pm on Friday. Picked up at 3 pm on Saturday.
>>62561827Porn in the woods was weird. It was everywhere. Just random hustlers and penthouses strewn all over nature. The woods were our internet.Also remember no seat belts and riding around in the bed of the truck doing 55 on the highway. Bicycles and snowboarding without helmets
>>62558185check again, you might not be a homeless man anymore
>>62557960I don't,but I heard it was the caseRemember when your neighbours were just white boomers and dorky kids instead of brown street shitters?
>>62559113(((Wall street)))
>>62557960You can still do that by simply tightening screws/bolts or soldering wires to boards.But you want an airconditioned office.
>>62564285i saw PCB assembly jobs while scrolling through indeed. the pay is $22-25/hour in an area where 1 bedroom rents are $1800/month. a 1200 square foot SFH is $350k.
>>62558001Now adjust for hedonics, global competition amd mass immigration.You fucking losers still haven't figured it out.
>>62565048>listen here wagie, you have a 60 inch TV and netflix on your phone to keep you distracted. the fact that your wage can no longer cover basic necessities like shelter, food and transportation is unimportant
>>62557960im 26no i don't remember that actuallyowning a house has been an unattainable dream all my life
murders were a lot higher in before 1999people got away with all kinds of heinous shit and in general people were more violent but yes you had more freedoms
Can someone please unselect that pepe?!
None of you fags actually want to do that even if it had the pay that you are looking for. Lazy zoomtards just want a screen and their desk and everything else handed to them for free. Just rot away already you fags. Can’t imagine where you fags will be in 10-15 years from now.>>62561501This
>>62564987I can't believe that. Trades are a gold mine.
>>62566352Trades are for low iq people.
>>62565085It is now. America median home costs 6x the median income.
>>62558001There will be retards arguing shit is cheaper now but a lot of stuff made in the 1950s was made to last an ultra long time because it cost a lot of money but was worth it over time.
>>62566985i have tools from 1950 handed down to me, grandpa said he bought them for like $5 and they don't chip or break like the modern shit i have to pay $50 for. And now think about how we get daily save the environment propaganda but this planned obsolescence is not addressed.
>>62557960I literary do thisI don't support a family or myself, but I make ok cash fixing broken electronics. I look for free items, friends stuff and thrift stores, I don't advertise or do it as a business so I just do it when it happens.
>>62559479Not really.
