>>538518276>feeling bad for boomerstop cuck. he can always sell his $1 mil home.
>>538518276Many boomers are bored shirtless and never learned to relax. Not for the money, but for something "productive" to do.p
Winners and losers in all age groups. 10% of boomers live in poverty. -- Someone once said the poor are always with you.
>>538518276Don't laugh. That's going to be a modest portion of you all. Better hope that Social Security is still there for you or your situation may be even worse!
>>538518276>Nooooo stop doing things I don't want you to do NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!Meanwhile, you keep voting for more taxes, more money printing, more state intervention in markets, more corruptions, more wars. This dude could have been comfortably retired without the state. Politics make people poor. Lefty politics make people poorer faster.
>>538518828Agreed....only way see boomer relaxing is when he/she has fully boozed bottoms up.
i know some old guys who cant stop working; they could financially but if they did stop working they would likely die pretty fast. having stuff to do was only thing keeping them alive
>>538518825>All boomers are richAbsolutely delusional, anon.

>>538518828They don't talk to old people and unironically suggest they do shit like play video games and watch rick and morty

>>538518276door dashing? he is just carrying home his dinner
>>538522707all anybody over a certain age had to do was remain employed and buy property when they were in their 20s and they would be wealthy today. i have absolutely zero sympathy for old fucks who are broke
>>538523164maybe he gave it to his kids
>>538523054can someone explain this to me?
>>538522698Agree. Retirement is a quick death boring vacation with no money. Humans need to be challenged to stay mentally fresh and socially healthy. Your brain is the first thing to rot in pension.
>>538518276He had a lifetime to save for his future. I don’t feel any sympathy for someone who has half a century to get it right and still fails. Fuck him.
>>538522707Buddy, if you were a White male living through the golden age of the American economy, when a house could be bought on a cashier's wages, and you ended up impoverished in your old age, you have no one to blame but yourself. Zero sympathy from me.
>>538518276>grandma wants to get out of the house for a couple hours and make bingo moneyWhat exactly is the problem here?
>>538524065There are those that want to be the King of the jungle and those that want to touch the stars. Choose wisely.
>>538524131My mother was a boomer and worked as a cashier. She could not afford to buy a house. She couldn’t even afford a car. She was on rental assistance and received government cheese, rice and powdered milk. There was no time in history when a cashier was doing well.
>>538523696the passage of the hart-celler act significantly devalued labor. inflation has masked this fact. though the minimum and average wage is much higher than it was historically, that increase is not commensurate with the increased costs of living. not even close
A not-wealthy boomer is a loser, how did some even manage to not become rich, housing went up 820% faster than inflation between 1975 and 2025. The stock market averaged 12.3% over that same half a century. For a boomer to not be rich is incredibly pathetic. This guy was a druggy, a gambling addict, an ex convict, something like that, all they had to do to become unfathomably wealthy is not screw up literally everything in life. If he picked one single thing in life to not screw up he was a millionaire, anything. If he put 6 months income in the stock market at any moment he was now a millionaire, if he bought the most pathetic home of his generation he was now a millionaire. If he held a job for longer than 12 months at any time during the last 50 years he was now a millionaire.My dad bought a 6 bed house stocking shelves at a grocery store for one year and the land without house is now valued at 2.1 million euros
>>538524236She was supposed to be married.
>>538523535>just buy property>what are property taxes?
>>538524131uh, the golden age is now libchud
>>538518276Tard didn't save
>>538524253the ai is telling me that "the shadow stats are bullshit and actually its not that bad" but i feel like cause its all kiked and pozzed that it is likley lying.
>>538524331>>what are property taxes?Evil and Jewish
>>538524236She was lazy
>>538518425Amerimutts are pathetic. My canadian parents are retired and just travel non stop. How can you be old and still broke?Should have saved money instead of fighting the wing war
>>538522707Baby Boomers had it WAY TO EASY compared to other generations, if they couldn't secure a retirement, it is literally a skill issue on their part they had plenty of time and golden oppurtunities.
Excellent, the jewish mind tricks on social media have worked swimmingly.Now all White people hate their parents and grandparents, further deteriorating the family unit and discouraging White people from creating new White children of their own, because what does family matter for anyways. The jews have paved the way for this hate.Meanwhile brownoids are deeply family integrated and the young adult brownoids continue to pump out brown babies because the grandparents happily babysit. While young White adults hate their parents, thanks to jewish social programming, excellent!
>>538523054Somebody has to pay the piper eventually or the piper tears your face off. Debt forgiveness isn't an option unless you have to power to kill the lender, which you don't because lending is a system and not a person that can be killed. Starting a better system from scratch sounds like an alluring possibility until you realize you'll never live long enough to benefit from it.
>>538518276To be honest I'm a sucker. I hope no1 tries this as a scam, because if some old white guy like that was door dashing to me I would probably give him a $1k tip.Indians get $0 though
>>538518825Boomers are alright as long as they don’t suck Jewish cock. Most of them have foolishly have their net worth in home equity and have some fixed income streams and are suffering as well with the unrelenting money printing
Unless he got divorce raped, then this makes sense, judge says the person with vagina gets all your income until the day you die. Thats the only scenario in which this happened and it wasn't his fault.
>>538524265>A not-wealthy boomer is a loser, how did some even manage to not become richThey don't save their money. My 75 year old boomer aunt has like half as much savings as I do and she's buying new cars. When she shows up for vacations she's constantly buying the most expensive food and wine she can. They spend whatever they make.
>>538518276Barb found out about the Filipino hooker he's been paying, he now has to pay the rest of his hoarded wealth for her alimony (she's gonna piss it all away on a poopjeet LARPing as a Ghanan prince). The kids have no inheritance because fuck those ungrateful crotch goblins.Such is the way of the boomer.
>>538523508shut the fuck up and be outraged. shoot up a walmart.
>>538518276
>>538524348I’m no economist, but disparities in purchasing power is REALLY hard to quantify from what I understand. Personally, I doubt it’s as extreme as the OP is claiming. There are too many variables to account for. If you want to get a better understanding, compare the average price of a home as a percentage of the average income between price periods, or maybe even the cost of a product which hasn’t changed much, such as a hamburger or steak, between the time periods in question. Again, I’m no economist but this is what makes the most sense to me.
>>538524472Dipshit alert
>>538524703>price periodsI meant to say time periods
I dont know how to fix this. Maybe pay more into social security?
>>538518276my dad is 83 and retired but keep going to work in his shop just to avoid being home with my mom (76)
>>538518276Theres an old guy that I see sometimes when im out and he just does it so he can chat with people. Also maybe gramps is loading up on extra cash for the strip club
>>538524857You can start by killing yourself and making the world a better place
>>538524769Yeah I'm just being honest. Had to move to the country. Used to see old people hobbling around trying to mow their lawns and I would do it for them but I would kill my body doing it after also working
>>538524944That's very unbecoming of the hype. Order up.
>>538518276I'm sure he'll pull himself by the bootstraps
>>538524348A big mac in 1970 cost approximately 50 cents. Today, it is about $5.50, an approximately 11x increase in cost. That’s also ignoring the fact they were probably a higher quality product 56 years ago. The average price of a home in the U.S. in 1970 was approximately $27,000, compared to ~$515,000 today, representing a ~19x increase. In 1970, the average cost of a car in the U.S. was ~$4000, compared to ~$49,000 today, a 12.25x increase.Averaging out those 3 percentages gives us a 14x increase, or in other words the costs of these goods has risen 1,300% in the past 56 years. This is ignoring the cost of services and intangible things like insurance. The average hourly wage in 1970 was $3.50/hr, multiply that times 14 and you get 49. I think it’s fair to say the average worker in the U.S. earned the equivalent of about $50/hr, compared to ~32/h today. The median hourly wage in 2026 is closer to $25/h, though This math was fast and loose, and I used chatgpt to get my statistics, so make of that what you will
>>538525121I agree, you’re a stupid faggot and I hope you die. Total namefag death.
>>538524571I know, my relatives in the 65-80 age bracket spend more on 'trinkets' than I do on mortgage + car + college for my kids combined. They pile it up in the garage, often rent garages to pile it up more. Just random shit. New car every 3-4 years too, and all of them get banged up because they should have quit driving 10 years ago. My boomer uncle is pushing 85, has his drivers license revoked 10 years ago for medical reason, he kept driving without a license, just bought a new big-ass plugin hybrid SUV with a million horsepower and doesnt have a drivers license. That thing will be covered in dents and dings from hitting shit while parking and if he ever runs over a kid without a license his kids will pay that bill too. Theyre all bat shit crazy, boomers, I blame lead poisoning, or asbestos
>>538525504okay makes sense.First thing i've understood about this.
>>538525584Nope. Order up.
>>538518276Show man some respect. Sometimes all a man has is his job and if he enjoys it and gets satisfaction from it why should he give it up?
>>538518276My boomer mom sure is lucky to have a couple failure son's to take care of her, worth it for the inheritance that was my play all along.
>>538518276This will be 99% of you neets.
>>538525504>ignoring the fact they were probably a higher quality product 56 years agoIndeed, I'm sure those lead-lined vats were of the highest quality. No matter the time period, corners get cut somewhere if able and regulation, like the sort to test for contamination always adds to overhead cost.
>>538518276boomer voted for this for decades so boomer should suffer consequences of boomer actions
>>538525676>order upYou work at walmart, you fucking loser. I got my degree
>>538518276Just make UBI happen
>>538525504we do have one substantial economic advantage over boomers : information. if boomers wanted a new lawn mower, or a tv, they went to the nearest lawnmower or tv store, the salesman told them a fairy tale and sell a $200 mower for $3000. Lawnmower dealerships in nearby towns were in on the scam. We go online and find the best lawn mower on earth 90% off delivered to our door next day. Our only economic advantage over previous generations is we dont get scammed or ripped off, they got scammed and ripped off 365 days a year.Big tech is trying to take this one advantage we have away from us by replacing the internet with AI.
>>538518276Meanwhile in Russia.
>>538525504all this while productivity per worker also increased, which came with some downsides for the workers as well
>>538524571Shes 75, she's not even going to live long enough to spend half your savings.
>>538518425fpbp>>538522707I've seen retarded boomers with 7figure wealth, any boomer that is broke in late life is a fucking retarded nigger that deserves less than any sympathy for their fucked up decisions and lack of basic taking advantage of an absolute peak time for economic opportunity and investment gains. Just MAID them all at this point
>>538525824Absolutely. Cars were absolute shit in the 70’s. However, Americans still had purchasing power, meaning consumers could be choosy. The hart celler act had only been passed 5 years ago, so the floodgates from the third world were not yet fully open, meaning companies couldn’t just pump out garbage for shitskins with low standards. Houses generally sucked too, but the consumers for those industries were semi-captive, and when industry works in lock step they could all afford to cheap out. However, from what I have intimated in conversation with older relatives, food and consumer goods were of much better quality.
>>538518276Imagine how much of a spendthrift you need to be as a boomer to end up in this situation.
>>538518276Mark Hamill really let himself go
>>538525921I still have my grandfather’s edger from 1956. Still runs, and I haven’t opened that motor up in my 20 years of owning it
>>538524131Maybe he lost it all in a divorce or something. Sad thing, but times are shitty for everyone.
>>538518276Boomers wasted their entire life savings but never saving for decades while riding high on the greatest economy the nation has ever seen, then spent the rest of their lives pulling the ladder up. Fuck’em, maybe less avocado toast and Netflix will get them back on their feet. Reality is that this guy is bored out of his fucking mind sitting on SS, not suffering one bit
>>538525840>You work at walmartI haven't worked at walmart since October.>I got my degreeUhhhhh? Congratulations? I dont know where anyone finds the money or free time for such frivololity.

>>538526299Why is Israel door dashing groceries
>>538526169>frivolityI earn about $170,000 a year between salary and stocks. I found the time and money because I’m not born to a family of losers
They are not well in the head, lead poisoning fucked these people up so bad. im in a suburb, half the people in my street are 80+, the other half are 35+ because 80 year olds drop dead and 35 year olds buy these homes for WAY too much, rip all the boomer shit out and do repairs on these homes for the first time since 1960.I bought a new car, everyone in their 30s and 40s does a thumbs up, cool car bro, thanks bro. Boomers walk up to my house ring my doorbell>hello did you buy that new?Thats it, thats all they ask, 3 of them already, they need to know ballpark how much I spent and I dont understand why
>>538526073>Americans still had purchasing powerWrong, Americans "gained" purchasing power at the expense of switching to a credit-based currency. The single-largest contributing factor to our current problem, lack of purchasing power is due to accumulating debt faster than it is paid off. Like I said earlier, debt doesn't just disappear when people don't pay it, someone else is placed on the hook for it.
>>538518276achsually I don't really see a problem with this, hes gonna live longer when he keeps exercising regularly and he earns money doing it
>>538526430I'd say "check your privilege", but that saying is passé in 2026.
>>538526009I used to work for IGT, the manufacturer of like half of America's slot machines. They make 'cashnado'. It's fucking sad seeing people interact with these things as if the outcomes aren't known well in advance. Even the 'bonus credits' you get from tapping at the screen are pre-calculated maximums that don't really offer any serious advantage. It may as well be any other bonus, except you have to paw at the screen like a monkey to secure it.We would pre-generate batches of 10-50 outcomes for each machine, then send them to the machine to 'play out'. There was nothing happening on the machine at all. It was all predetermined, and there was zero randomness happening at the machine itself.It always seems weird to people when they realize the whole experience is pre-calculated at a central server, then batched out to each machine. Your spins do nothing but count down how many are left in the batch before a new batch is pushed.I realize it's technically no different than having the machine do the 'spin'. It's all just random. But something about how the whole thing is following an odds algorithm hosted at a central server just steals the magic of slot machines.My mother in law spends hours at the slots now. It's like her entertainment in retirement. It's just sad to see.
>>538518825It's true a shitload of boomies are rich, but sometimes all it requires is one instance of bad luck. A boomie friend of my parents got his wife crash in one of her cessna (yeah, they got multiples fun planes) and ended up a vegetable a decade ago and he legit spent over a milli just to keep her "alive" in some private clinic.That was the plan all along : let the boomers fatten up then steal everything from them via healthcare scams before their millenial kids could inherit the jackpot. The ones getting fucked are us.
As someone who couldn’t land a full time job until I was 30, I honestly can’t imagine retiring. Work gives my life meaning.
>>538524407>and just travel non stopAnd you actually flex this? They are scum for burning through your inheritance and you are just brainwashed neo boomer fool.
>>538526581>generational wealth is le bad… because it just is!I’m glad you upgraded to working at Target or whatever the fuck. You’re really moving up in the world
>>538526506>They are not well in the head, lead poisoning fucked these people up so badthis the impact of lead inhalation and exposure during their fundamental brain development years cannot be overstated enough
>>538526722Yeah also here the state steals 50% of all inheritance
>>538526889only 50%? Lucky pastabros!
>>538518276>Boomer who if they worked an average job and put only 5-10% of their income into a index fund would have retired with multi million dollars did not take the opertunity that no other generation had as easy as he did Damn shame.
>>538526878>Target>retail>working a regular job in general I am an independent digital content creator, vtuber, and interactive video games streamer. Just a blue collar dude working hard every day and more than I ever have in my 30+ years of working. It's really a trip!
>>538522707They get enough to rent a 1 bedroom from social security, bud. We wont. Any time i actually needed help a boomer told me to just have a firm handshake or some crap. I have an actual degree and can't even get a job at a gas station despite 20 years of experience well above it. Fuck em.

>>538526623I always thought that electronic gambling was senseless since the machines are just calculating probabilities and you could save all the physical effort by just paying in a lump amount and having the machine tell you the probabilities instantly.Instead of pawing at the machine, you'd just know how much you won or more probably lost and be done with it.
>>538518276by the look of him he's had 80 something years to get some money together or some skills to make some money and he's fucking doordashing lol what a loser

>>538526623I also worked in a slightly less regulated variant of the slot machine world. And we used to tweak people's odds right after they spent money. It was intentional, with the intent of triggering that Pavlovian association between paying and winning.The more they spent, the more we'd tweak the odds in their favor. It'd cool down after a while. We'd step them down gradually to keep them feeling like winners for longer after big spends.Obviously that kind of manipulation is not allowed at IGT. So I'm not saying IGT does this. In fact, our relationship with IGT meant that we had to stop doing it.But that didn't stop us from using dozens and dozens of known psychological techniques to squeeze more money out of people.We would even offer $100 free for any new player who'd never registered a card with us before. Our payment processor was generating so much fucking money just from their cut of our payments that they reached out and said "we will directly reimburse you for every $100 offer accepted if you run this special for a few months".The reason being, for every person we convinced to start using their credit/debit card, it multiplied their likelihood of spending more cash in perpetuity.>>538527109Yep, that's all it was. If you could look into the cache on the machine, you'd see exactly how much you were going to make/lose over the next 5 minutes of 'spinning'.Hell, you could get a lifetime of results back in under 1 second of processing. In fact, it would have been funny to see what happens if you asked for, say, 500,000 spins from the central server. You could plot out the entire career of a single compulsive gambler spanning multiple decades. Kind of grim if you think about it.They'd spend hours and hours playing out a scenario that was calculated on a server in under a second. Tragic. Spending away a lifetime of savings on a silly charade.

>>538530391This, but they dont believe alcohol or pharmakike shit are drugs. My dad is broke after making 30k a month and not raising or supporting a single one of his kids. All of his money was blown on alcohol, hookers, and chemo for cancer. His doctors kept telling him he was going to die in a month if he didnt get it. Then after years of that same story over and over, he eventually ran out of money and stopped getting the chemo and magically just kept on living for years still. Now he's trying to guilt me into giving him money, despite me having to wait until my mid 30s to be able to afford to have just 1 child of my own and a small home that I luckily bought in 2016 when they were somewhat reasonable. He wants me to spread his ashes on a lake named after our grandpa when he eventually does die from being a drunk fatass, but I'm probably just going to throw them away if I even deal with that shit at all.
>>538518276He fucked around his entire life, didn't save a penny, made all his whims and wishes come true, probably never sacrificed anything for the betterment of his future and now he's old and broke so he has to work.And anyone who feels remorse is a fucking retard.

Getting old sucks and a lot of older people get jobs to feel useful.My old man was a teacher; he made it two years into retirement before he got so bored he took a minimum wage job at the library to keep busy.
>>538518276oh no tough luck grandpa. Anyway at least the illegal immigrants get free housing, food, clothing and health care.
>>538518276Nah, that's just how he was raised, not to be a lazy pussy like gen Z. He's pulling himself up by his bootstraps!
>>538533617In USA it's kind of retarded atm to buy real estate as an investment, especially in red districts due to zoning regulations changing and new buildings going up. IIRC even the SMP500 has been beating real estate for returns in the last several years.
>>538529353Thats fair. Good luck m8, getting good views? Got a good little fan group in your streams? Any advice for someone thinking about starting one for a hobby?
>>538526812>muh gibs, somebody think about muh gibskill yourself, troon
>>538526996Translation: "I stream shitty games as a little anime girl avatar"Not even kidding, bro's rumble is still up.
>>538518276Boomer spent all of his money on travel and expensive toys he financed. Didn't save a penny outside of Social Security. Not my problem.
>>538518276Has nothing to do with capitalism. If this were an ideal communistic state this dumbfuck would still be running an illegal business for extra credits under the table. The issue isn't the economic system, it's his judgement. He'd piss away his rations and still be hustling for more no matter what because that's what people born of his mold do. You can't change human nature. When you grow up a little and meet a more diverse slate of people over time you'll come to realize this too.
>>538524348The way inflation is measured has changed every year because people would get pissed off otherwise. A pound of bone in ribeye became a pound of ribeye because a pound of "steak" which was strip and then sirloin and then chuck and then ground beef. Those substitutions in all facets is how they manipulate the numbers. Which is why if you want objective true inflation numbers yoy you look at M2 money supply or track your own expenses to calculate the actual inflation rate that affects you. Price of a new car or concert tickets or airplane tickets don't really affect me so if you go by CPI it factors in bullshit like that. You can track your own receipts and expenses, which you should do anyways to see your general expenses, to see how inflation affects you directly instead of trusting a kike with a calculator.
>>538534064this guy bought his real-estate in the 80s and 90s. thats why he's not selling now, and is instead working for doordash to cover his expenses.
>>538534817Well not to mention the CPI grossly overweights things like consumer electronics hardware which until very recently were basically unaffected by inflation and were often being sold at losses and recouping money through other means. Every couple years things which can be seen to not be inflation resistant get dropped from the set leaving behind only things which are for one reason or another mostly unaffected. I'm sure this all happens by complete coincidence :^)
>>538518276Fuck old people. You[re supposed to have kids and empower those kids so they take care of your sorry ass.
>>538534817You can also just go by gold. I've been told my entire life that gold isn't a good investment because it only tracks inflation and never makes real gains..... And yet now suddenly people claim indexing prices to gold is bullshit and wrong all of a sudden lol.
>>538524463>this nigga don't play the pipes.
>>538528076>you can work all your life and end up in hell>get a job!!!!!!You are retarded, ill enjoy my free time
>>538535667People saying buy gold to make money were being called retards. Anyone saying buying gold will not hold well against inflation is retarded. Your money will keep value but you also have to consider if you sell back to pawn shops or gold shops they will usually offer 85% to 90% of street price. Most people that sell will resell this way so have to keep that in mind.
>>538518825My grandpa is like this owns two homes multiple Harley’s, hot tub, pool, expensive biker style leather jackets and gear, new cars every 3-4 years. He will brag to this day about how he dropped out of high school and went from a janitor to the head of maintenance at the VA. He started in the mid terms 60s he’s got like 4 pensions and draws social security, he pulls in like 120k a year doing nothing and he rents one of his properties to his grand niece.He did get a job after he left the VA out of boredom and got fired for calling someone a nigger when referring to them off hand and got fired so that’s kind of based
Boomer economy is usury, speculation and services, no industry, manufacture or high tech lol
>>538518276>Nobody should retireThis is your future, goy
>>538518276Damn we need to open the borders again to stop this from happening.
>>538518425This. Boomers fucked over Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z, Gen A and no doubt more to come, and we're all supposed to give a fuck if they fucked over a couple of each other?
>>538535957Good ol' Benny 'Arbeit macht frei' Shapiro with some classic goyim wisdom
>>538518828This whites mind broke themselves and every single minority race at the time just mimicked them Now we just make fun of the whites
>>538518276womp womp
>>538524502I’ve been telling people that home equity is a meme unless you truly exit the market. Almost every boomer and half of Gen X I know who has a paid off home can’t afford to maintain it. It would be a nightmare to have like 75% or more of your net worth in a home.
When I was doing it I would meet the occasional boomer who was doing it too. They always want to talk to fellow dashers like they're in some kind of club. The ones I talked to absolutely did not need the money. One guy told me he does it just to get out of the house. Another guy told me his wife wouldn't let him spend their money on beer so he had to go make extra cash... To drink beer. Thanks boomer. I could have gotten a stacked order and made 3x the money. The people in their 20s out here trying to make rent could have had sufficient work. But no problem I'm glad you were able to get out of the 40k house that you refuse to sell below 1.4 million. Enjoy your Budweiser, you piece of shits.
>>538533215Just honor his wishes and move on.
>>538524407Literally no idea how a baby boomer can be broke in old age. Like how the fuck? You could buy a house doing a paper round.
>>538528629If you are young, having an insane equity package hit at a startup. If that doesn’t happen, it comes from investing over a long period of time. If you have 3 mil invested the 4% rule you could pull 120 per year out and have it last a good while. This isn’t rocket science, it just takes time
>>538518276>live time where wages are highest in history>you can go to college and pay for it with part time job>college degree guarantees job>put pocket change in stock market, millionaire>buy $30k house worth $700k>start any shitty business, private equity offers to buy it for shit tonIt is amazing how any boomer can fail. Illiterate boomers are millionaires.
>>538534072>Any advice for someone thinking about starting one for a hobby?Its generic, but keep your feet on the ground, but always keep reaching for the stars.>>538534126Well? Yeah? How else am I supposed maximize the extraction of the incel dollar? Yes, the Rumble of my experimental gimmick is still up. Its great to look back where I started and see where I am today.

Current StatisticsBaby boomers with no retirement savings 30%Baby boomers with less than $50,000 saved 26%Baby boomers planning to work past 6566%The boomer hate has been generated by jews to shift the blame.
Some old people are just like that. My dad retired is a retired engineer and now works as a part-time supervisor at a resturant just because he wanted something to do.
>>538518276People, boomers especially, need something to do in order to maintain their will to live.My mom, who is very well off, got a part time job out of sheer boredom.
>>538518425>>538522282look at how they flail and try to reframe the argumentImagine what they will 'argue' when jeets and jews are being rounded up en masse. What will they say is a good reason why we shouldn't remove them from our civilizations?

Or lost everything because they're dumb enough to fall for every jeet telemarketing scam on the planet.
>>538518276You had to be a degenerate gambler or an addict to end up like this as a boomer
>>538525504You have in your pocket about 10% of the entire world's computing power in 1970. To purchase that kind of power then versus today would have cost you about 30 million times as much. We all have televisions the size of a fucking bathroom door that make 70s tv look like a moving grey smudge. The items sitting on my desk would make me a 1970's trillionaire.
