Here in USA it's not uncommon for the average blue collar worker to have 2nd properties like lake houses and cottages. I myself have a 2nd home on 40 acres of property to hunt on. Why THE FUCK would I ever support communism?

It literally isn't. Virtually every single blue collar worker in the Midwest and south has 2nd properties, or expensive toys like 4x4s or quads that they take out wherever.

>>538427387
Perhaps in coastal states? Like California and New England which also happen to be far left with things like "rent control."

All bought outright with no loans or credit cards up to the eyeballs, right?

Yeah and my niece had a 2025 Bronco despite being an entry level nurse. It got repo'd. Having "toy's" means exactly shit.
>>
>>538427389
Depends on the age of the person. My brother in law is 23 years old and has a dune buggy he takes to the dunes here in Michigan as well as a Mustang GT. In a couple years he'll have paid them off and then will have assets. He works in a factory.

Communism is a misguided ideology conjured at a time the silent majority still had to manually grown their own food plus fork over the surpluses that fed their social betters. It just doesn't work after mechanization took hold and the whole eschatology leading into primitive communism but with modern tech is pure cultural Christianity.

A dune buggy and a mustang aren't assets lol. Both depreciate hard in value.

>Communism is a misguided ideology
it isn't, it's just an ideology. Every ideology works if the people implementing it are good at managing. Every ideology fails if the people implementing it are bad managers. Management is pretty much the biggest determining factor as to whether or not a society fails or thrives.

i don't think from my experience that boomers necessarily had it that bad back then as long as they were gainfully employed and didn't spend everything on substance abuse.

Keep telling yourself that while you sit at your mom's house. I dropped out of college and became a crane operator. I just recently paid off my 2bed/bath condo that I'm planning on selling outright so I can move into my dream home.

>>
>>538427422
>you gain wealth by taking out loans and credit cards to spend on dirt bikes
>>
>>538427424
Yes, exactly. You gain equity and credit which overall lowers your interest rates and then after 5, 10, however many years you pay it off and either keep it forever or you sell it for bigger and better things. Like me, I'll sell off my condo which will net me an over 50% down payment on a beautiful $400,000 home where my mortgage, taxes, and insurance will be about $1,000 a month. When that's paid off I will be at retirement age where I'll either pass it down to my kids, or I will sell it, move into a condo on the water in Florida, and then pass the cash down to my kids when I die. Fucking idiot

You can go on carvana and get a $12k car that will cost you like $3-400 a month in payments including insurance. Perhaps this won't work in Massachusetts where they have all of those left wing "protections" you fags love so much.

one reason for the shitty 70s economy was the tune in turn on drop out mentality. lots of young people just worked casual jobs or lived on welfare and got high. it wasn't like the Depression where innocent hardworking people were blasted out of their livelihoods and did nothing to deserve it.

"A 2023 survey conducted by Payroll.org highlighted that 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, a 6% increase from the previous year. In other words, more than three-quarters of Americans struggle to save or invest after paying for their monthly expenses.
Similarly, a 2023 Forbes Advisor survey revealed that nearly 70% of respondents either identified as living paycheck to paycheck (40%) or—even more concerning—reported that their income doesn’t even cover their standard expenses (29%)." - https://archive.ph/0G3Tx

"While 100 million Americans have at least some medical debt, about 7.4% of U.S. residents experience catastrophic healthcare expenses annually, more than double the rate of any other developed nation. Here, medical debt is defined as experiencing problems paying or being unable to afford any medical bills in the past 12 months, including those for doctors, dentists, hospitals, therapists, medication, equipment, nursing home or home care. And the term catastrophic is defined as out-of-pocket spending exceeding 40% of a household’s income after basic necessities have been met. Further, estimates suggest that inability to afford costs of medical care contributes to at least 530,000 personal bankruptcy filings annually. Approximately two-thirds of personal bankruptcies in the U.S. are associated with medical expenses or illness-related loss of work." - https://www.forbes.com/sites/joshuacohen/2026/04/05/increasing-burdens-of-medical-debt-and-bankruptcy-are-uniquely-american/

«A couple of years ago, Joseph Shrager, MD, professor of cardiothoracic surgery at Stanford School of Medicine, noticed a statistical anomaly in his practice. It seemed that patients were diagnosed with lung cancer at a surprisingly higher rate at 65 years old than, say, at 64 or 66.»

«The study showed that insured cancer patients (lung, breast, colon, prostate) older than 65 are more likely to undergo surgical intervention, and they had lower five-year cancer-specific mortality rates than did their younger uninsured counterparts.»

«Breast milk samples from mothers in Seattle contain alarming levels of dangerous hormone-disrupting chemicals, including BPA, BPS, melamine, cyanuric acid, and triclosan, new peer-reviewed research has found.

The chemicals present a serious risk to infants because they likely interfere with hormones that are critical to newborns’ proper development, and have been found to be harmful at very low levels of exposure. About 92% of 50 samples were contaminated with at least one of the anti-microbials or plasticizers for which researchers checked.

The same milk samples had previously been found to contain potentially dangerous levels of PFAS “forever chemicals” and flame retardants, which are also endocrine disruptors.» - ["Dangerous hormone-disrupting chemicals found in US breast milk samples" (2026)](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/14/breast-milk-research-chemicals)
