Huge number of people live outwith their means.Subscribed to every streaming service. Car they can't afford on finance. Takeaways several times a month. Latest iphone. Gym membership.It's a simple fact that previous generations didn't spend money on bullshit like this, because it didn't exist. Yet you blame boomers for your shortcomings like a typical incel freak who's never left the basementNone of these things improve your life at all.>It's never been easier to pirate films/tv/music than it is today>You can literally cook takeaway food at home and it tastes better and is a fraction of the price, make your own fucking burrito>Dont need a gym, buy a couple of kettlebells and go for a fun>Buy a used car that you can actually afford>Buy a cheap android outright, no contracttldr: you're just an entitled spoiled brat that needs to be drafted and be sent to the front lines.
It's amazing how much right-wing discourse is just them not understanding things, thus making discourse impossible.
>>540414432catshit, now lose some weight fat ass. fattie boom boom wants another cream cake.
>>540414432So, why can't things be affordable like they used to be?
>>540414432>s-stop buying avocado toast!are these niggers serious?
>>540414432maybe don't get fucking overpriced corporate chain slop like chipotle on a delivery app in a shithole city
>>540414432So did catturd delete all his old posts bitching about prices under Biden before posting that or is he as retarded as all the other miga shills? I mean I get the first one forgetting but when you’re the fiftieth grifter making burrito posts and seeing all your old screenshots in reply it’s got to be pretty embarrassing
>>540414617That would be antisemitic
>catturdOp is a indian gobling israeli cock
>>540414432>Luxuries have gotten cheaperNecessities have gotten more expensive
>>540414432whoa did cat shit fat fuck post again, damn, must be why my internet is slowing down, fat shit.
>>540414432>It's never been easier to pirate films/tv/music than it is todayyeah>You can literally cook takeaway food at home and it tastes better and is a fraction of the price, make your own fucking burritoalso yeah. dont buy slop outside touched by browns>Dont need a gym, buy a couple of kettlebells and go for a funalso yeah. dont pay jews to lift things which you can buy and do at home. running is also free>Buy a used car that you can actually affordyeah again. dont buy some shit tier post-2016 surveillance mobile>Buy a cheap android outright, no contractagain, yeah. you dont need a $1000+ phone which you pay interest to shlomo onOP types like a boomer but this isnt horrible advice either
>>540414432>just be miserable and buy overpriced food, peasant
>>540414432Lol I swear Republicans are intentionally trying to loose the midterm
>>540414432i make $150k a year and save/invest $75k a year and i feel poor because everything is too expensive. someone like me should be saving and investing even more money. if i were the average american making $60k/yr and living paycheck to paycheck i would go fucking postal.
>>540414432I'm going to roundhouse kick muh phone posters and bots into the gas chamber
>>5404144321) they’re $5002) they’re the #1 most essential expense3) they probably pay more for burritos per month
>>540414831>>Buy a used car that you can actually afford>yeah again. dont buy some shit tier post-2016 surveillance mobileboth of you are retard boomers who conveniently forgot about cash for clunkersused cars are expensive now, fuck off
>>540414432Agreed. There is no recession, there is no affordability crisis.
>>540414725Yes, everyone should live in bumfuck nowhere where they can't influence anything and live in houses that were former meth labs that you can never get the smell of cat piss out of. Whites should have no desire to live in the cities their forefathers built and enjoy the standard of living their grandfather's did.
>>540414432The new iPhones are like $700 now. Boomers cant even get their bootstrap slop right anymore
>>540414432oink oink piggy enjoy suckling the fat leaking from the folders of your bursing stomach, sluep suep, delicious.
>>540414617like a computer that used to cost 3000 USD in the 70s (not inflation corrected so closer to 10000 USD now), or a television that used to cost 3 months full time salary? how about clothes that you would cycle between two pairs because you couldn't afford more or shoes you had to take to the cobbler to fix because you couldn't afford new ones. or maybe a house at 20 percent interest. young people are just upset about issues they're making up and comparing it to things that never happened or existed. life has never been easier but you still complain
>>540414432Why won't you do like a food baguette boy and join the foreign legion?
the answer is simple. too many mouths, not enough resources.
>>540414432verbatim democrat talking points from 20-24. Aipac coded thread is a nice touch
>>540414990yeah and being gay with your dad has never been cheaper. why are leftists crying???
>>540414990Oh no the tailored suit made on main street for 4 dollars
>>540414990see >>540414810Al Bundy's house is $700000 now
>>540414831> gym, buy a couple of kettlebells and go for a funThe gym culture is tragedyOther countries do not scam impossible to cancel subscriptions. It ought to be retroactively banned so every gym that did this bad faith is fined. Not to mention dirtiness in gyms
>>540415042Hilarious how the top three are heavily subsidized by the govt. Thanks, Obama!
>>540414432The only people who can bitch about affordability crisis are the people living in poor countries. I'm sick of these Americans and Canadians crying about it while ordering doordash every day and paying every fucking subscription. I'm starting to think their boomers are kinda based.
>>540414432>you should be…checks notes…spending 110% of your income on subsistence living…that’s how it has always been
>>540414432tldr you're posting on a dead site full of bots and the owners are gay pedos
>>540415105>TV is real life you must think spiderman will save you if you walk into oncoming traffic while looking at ticktocks on your phone too. I'll give you a clue bozo, it was as absurd of a permise that a shoe salesman lived like that then as it is now
>>540414432stupid retarded zoomers and their avocado toast obsession
>>540415164for subscriptions like that you should just use the gift Visas they sell at grocery stores. upload a few months of balance to it and use it as the payment card then just change it as needed online. let em try to charge that all they want
>>540414432>thousands of people complaining about gas prices in their $50,000 cars is rich.
>>540414957go away yuppie faggot
>>540414432Boomerniggers deserve to have everything stolen from them by their nigger and kike pets. They certainly don’t care about their kids
>>540415199Kike economics 101, you can set the price at any level and the goy cattle won't know the difference. Take physical currency away from them and then you really have whales. Now add in women and there 7 trillion of spending a year with their state subsidized jobs. If anything retards are driving the price increases
>>540414432What kind of retard spends $1400 on a phone?
>>540415199On the contrary. Poverty is your natural state of being. Only Whites get to complain about affordability because only Whites produce the super abundance that exists now.
>>540415219you must think avocado toast is holding us back from home ownership and starting familiesI've got news for you boomerNo families means no Social Security checks for (You)
>>540414483Nice try faggot
>>540415304boomers vote - their kids dontand thats why they're getting end of life treats like no property taxes or no taxes on social security
>>540415043no, it cost 20 dollars or one liberty gold 20 dollar coin, which has the melt value of a tailor made suit today
>>540415277Cars go like 100k - 200k miles.Divide by 25mpg = 25k to 50k gallons.So if gas goes up by a dollar it's gonna cost you $25,000 to $50,000. It's an actually legitimate concern in a sea of tardposting.
>>540415489Don’t worry goy, we have millions of immigrants to pay for social security. Soon America will be as wealthy and successful as India
>>5404144323 years ago I cut all my streaming services and spent $300 on a cheap xeon PC from 2012 and a 14TB Toshiba drive a used enterprise one. Filled it with every single show I watch on netflix, Disney plus, HBO, hundreds of movies in 1080p because 4k is too much so I save about $120 a month in streaming services now and instead spend $12 a month in premiumize which lets me DDL torrents by right clicking a magnet link and then manually renaming/adding them to my Jellyfin library. That or I get lazy and watch them on Stremio using torrentio and premiumize. I'd probably get torbox if I wanted more anonymity.
>>540415489When you fags order out for every meal of the day, yeah it is holding you back.You retards spend hundreds DAILY to get burritos and toast DELIVERED to you. You want to live like a king and then complain when you have no fucking money.
>>5404144321400 phone is entry price for just being a person tho
>>540414432People always did. In the 90s all the boomers were living off credit cards and spending tons of money they didn't really have.
>>540414432israeli hands typed this post
>>540415435Poverty is YOUR state of being if you're bitching about being poor. You know who isn't bitching about the price of eggs? Rich successful people.
>>540414432Why is social media post talking about burritos all the sudden?
>>540415638
>>540415304> boomers dont care about their kidsTheir kids are lazy entitled zoomer faggots
>>540415633most of us ARE the door dash delivery boomer, and 80% of the people getting delivery are 60+also, i hope you are enjoying the spit in your delivered food
>trending*SPITS OUT COFFEE*WH-WH-WHAAAAAATT??!??TRENDING?!?OH SHIT!!OH FUCK!!!BOYS, ITS TRENDING!!FUUCK!!!TREEEEENDIIIIIINNGGG!!!!!
>>540415783>also, i hope you are enjoying the spit in your delivered foodI make my food at home, like any sensible person (and clearly not you).
>>540414432Listen tards it's not affordability that is the issue. That's oversimplification for midwits. Were are facing 3 simultaneous disruptions:>1. Productivity crisisNot in the sense productivity of individual companies are down but the overall population. This is driving prices up as the currencies are devalued. You faggots know exactly what I am referring to. However there is part of this that is seldom discussed. The overwhelming destruction of morale which is driving sentiment negatively.> 2. Competency crisisAs boomers retire they never trained competent replacements. People have been failing up for decades. This leads to wasteful and retarded decisions that impact markets that later impact prices. This is occurring from top to bottom.> 3. Energy crisisRetarded policies have shifted consumption habits. Renewable is a meme and does not exist. In reality it wastes energy for feels. You will never get the amount of energy used to create a windmill out of the windmill for example. This represents a net loss in energy. On a large enough scale this has real world impact on the cost of everything. This is likely the driving factor for the Iran war.>TL;DR Affordability is a symptom of much bigger problems.
>my liberal peers say life is more difficult than it should be>this means i MUST disagree with them, lest I myself become a lib
>>540414432A lot of millennials aren’t even poor. They make 80k and spend it all on themselves because starting a family would lower their standard of living to an unacceptable level
>>540415724because petey buttcheeks made a boomer-ass troll post about affordability and 20 dollar burritos.
>>540415523In 1960's dollars a .24 troy ounces gold main street suit from 1908 at ~5 dollars would have been 9 dollars
>>540415802>I make my food at homewhich one, the home you live in or the one you bought as an investment and won't sell to your children's generation who actually need it?
kiketurd, the smartest and least jewish spokesman of miga
>>540415941They clearly aren't ready for a home if they're like you and spending all their money on takeout.
everything is fake and gaypic not related
>>540416043haha! and there it isenjoy having your social security dry up you myopic boomerday of the pillow soon
>>540414957Anon, cities are lost territory. Not going to throw good money after bad. You think anyone with politics to the right of Mao can influence anything in a city? Fucking delusional retard.
>>540416122I'll probably outlive you given your poor financial stability
>>540414483>you chuds don't understand, i fucking HAVE to order slopbowls every single day. The economy is in RUINS
My own father is catturd-esque boomer; a dying breed. I love the man, although I now pity him the way you would a retarded child. We talk politics every weekend, and these conversations consistently result in a boomer meltdown.
>>540416179Oh you frequently talk politics?
>>540415259I used to just pretend to lose my bank card every month and get the number changed so any subscription I got free for the first month can't start charging me. A lot of these subscription services are deliberately made very difficult or time consuming to cancel the subscription so that people either forget or give up trying to cancel them. So I just try out what subscriptions I like for a month and then void out on paying them anything more than the first month. It honestly saved me time to just take an in person trip to the bank once a month to get a new card than it was to manage or cancel subscriptions manually. Recently I've just gotten a Cashapp card that you have to manually load on the app or else there's just zero dollars on the account. So you can load it with the exact amount you need to subscribe to something for one month and then they can't take anything more away from you if you forget about it. Either way it is very satisfying to then receive the automated emails from these kike app companies begging me to update my payment information. I can only imagine the kvetching kikes do knowing the goyim do this and thinking it should be declared antisemitic and illegal to do. Be the hunter not the hunted.
>>540414432>Huge number of people live outwith their means.Yes, thats what an affordability crises is. You think that means that people are spending too much, when the problem is that their means are comically small.Prices on essentials have gone up many times more than wages have, which is objectively true and easily provable. Thats not our fault, but its become our problem.
>>540416273>He fell for the subscription scamsGoyflix is a good litmus test
>>540414947>cash for clunkersthis was 17 years ago
>>540414432notice how they don't argue that things are getting more expensive while wages stagnated and just instead telling you to cut back on your spending, that would lead to a demand collapse though which is even worse for the economy, because it would result in even more companies closing down and firing people
>>540416388The used market never recovered lol. Don't even try it, boomer. A used dealer on YouTube put up a video about how they acquire cars. You've got rundown, shitbox jalopies going for $15k-$20k at auction. If you're talking about a dogged out truck with 100k miles, they're going for $30k+ at auction. The only people who deserve perdition more than finance majors are car dealers.
>>540416122Can engage with the point though? Do you waste money on takeout and online subscriptions? Or is he wrong for pointing that out?This whole boomer hate thing sounds childish
>>540414860and get killed off
>Quit noticing how much purchasing power a dollar lost in the last few years>Just eat some liver or something
>>540414990>once a decade purchases became cheaper>daily, weekly, and monthly purchases became unaffordable>freebies like safe parks and good schools became exclusive membership only
>>540414432I just bought a Pixel 7 (refurbished, they call it renewed now) for $189 on Amazon. Three year old phone. What am I missing without a $1400 iPhone?With that said, their cell phones were $1400 when they were complaining about it under Biden, but Catturd, the MAGA bootlicker, didn't care about that did he? He's just defending Trump's current policies.
>>540414432Tell that to the guy running a construction business working 80 hrs a week. Now that his overhead has increased 25% in the last year alone due to tariffs and fuel prices. Insurance, utilities, vehicle maintenence. Cost of tools, hardware. You miga shits might end the republicunt party forever if you keep it up. Joe Six pack voting democrat socialist will be fun to watch. I'll be playin vidya from my neet command center. To old to be drafted, to young to waste life working. More neet bucks for me. Yu have fun in Iran sweetie.
>>540414432Funny thing is /pol/ excused away the high Biden food prices with this exact kind of language.
>>540416687>Tell that to the guy running a construction business working 80 hrs a week. Now that his overhead has increased 25% in the last year alone due to tariffs and fuel prices.construction is booming rn man
>>540414483>hurr durr the right is retardedTo be fair, usually schools of thought are unintelligible to each other. The school of thought being most coherent, capable of explaining its thoughts, AND being able to dismiss other schools of thought in their own language are criteria to qualify different schools of thought.>ooga booga bix noodMaybe coherent to the nigger with a psychosis, but not intelligible unless you are a nigger yourself.>Fuck niggers, fuck kikes, and most of all fuck janniesA clear example of a coherent worldview, being coherent to any pepe appreciater, AND it makes jannies seethe. A clear example of a superior worldview.
>>540416561>waste moneywhat do you provide to the economy? could your job not be considered a "waste of money" that consumers could just cut back on spending? and then what do you do? find a different job? oh but those are closed too because they were deemed a waste of money, how many jobs remain in the economy if we eliminate all the ones that are a "waste of money"? and what will happen to the people who worked those jobs? more homeless on the streets? riots? doesn't sound great either way
>>540416455It all part of zion don's plan to go back to the economics of a developing economy where we are building all the tech and trinkets, but the workers can't afford any of it. The purpose of having a developed economy is to pass off the remedial shit work (manufacturing) to someone else while everyone gets cushy office jobs at a service business
>>540416687>You miga shits might end the republicunt party forever if you keep it up. >Joe Six pack voting democrat socialist will be fun to watch.No, both parties are historically unpopular. There won't be a broad mandate but I do expect the DNC to take control of Congress. The American core is demoralized: they don't think you or anyone else can offer a political solution.Hating Trump =/= Voting DNCPeople hate you equally if not more
>>540416766Might be getting jobs but getting less profits. Something you don't understand migger? Boomer money supply is drying up too. Just wait until the jpusing market collapse.
>It's ANOTHER thread about home economics where we don't talk about the prices of homes or wages!!!
>>540414928Is a phone or a car more indispensable for an American? I would think car to navigate the endless suburban sprawl (your coutry is beautiful though)
>>540416839I hate you all. Accelerate
>>540415219I’m a 90s kid and grew up in a suburb in the GTA. The neighbour who lived next to me was a bartender/sommelier at a restaurant and he lived in a comparable house. His wife worked part time as a cashier at a convenience store (not because she had to but out of boredom). Housing was cheaper and TVs/electronics/appliances were more expensive. Clothing was only slightly more expensive (fast fashion was already a thing) and I remember cars being cheaper and more functional (never heard an adult bitch about cars being unattainable back then). So the shit people actually need has gotten significantly more expensive.
>>540416789the dollar would have to severely weaken for that, which would hand global reserve currency status to china, but donnie clearly doesn't want to do that, he wants to eat the cake and eat it too and instead is just getting fucked in the ass and the mouth, either you're an export focused manufacturing economy with a weak currency or you're an import focused consumer economy with a strong currency, you can't be both
>>540415935If a tailored wool suit costs 1000 dollars today which is roughly .24 troy ounces of gold then the price of gold is stable, we've just lost all productive capacity and buy it from somewhere else. >If you measure value by self-sufficiency, physical production, and tangible assets, the state has absolutely lost economic value and critical sovereignty. However, if you measure value by corporate profits, consumer purchasing power, and capital efficiency, mainstream economics argues the state simply shifted its value into more lucrative sectors.
>>540416867>Boomer money supply is drying up too. Just wait until the jpusing market collapse.You're going to hate the millenials and gen X very soon as they're the ones who are going to inherit that massive wealth. Expect inheritance tax to be a key 2026/2028 talking point.>>540416914Eh you guys are fine.
>>540414432holy fuck, yah, thier nigger iphone they pay $8 a month for forever
>>540416687>Joe Six pack voting democrat socialist will be fun to watch.That guy would rather see you gibbeted than vote for you. You guys have no idea how much everyone hates you. And this is probably because your ideas and egos are so fragile you only associate with people who share your nonsense beliefs. The last thing a guy who actually works for a living is going to do is vote for a bunch of soft, weak, stupid, upper class, trust fund kids who feel guilty for their accidental birth.
We can just eat the rich
>>540416789you sound like bill clinton trying to sell nafta to the population again
>>540416895Depends on where you live but most jobs require you use your own personal cell phone for them now. Another hidden inflationary cost in American employment. Rarely do they give you a phone unless its some corporate he'll scape, then they monitor it 24/7.
>>540417008We talked about this china
>>540414483It's amazing how the left still can't meme.

>>540417214upgrade? Console faggotry for normalfags
>>540414432So if you don't buy a phone worth $1400 then you can afford a house that costs $999 000?
>>540414990I will sacrifice a tv and pc for a house, no problem.
>>540416785I'm a neet and as such I'm an expert on not wasting money. I'm not going around paying subscriptions to random bullshit like a retard. You can get a subscription to every site and content creator if you want but that's a luxury and you shouldn't be bitching about money if you do that. You can get everything for free if you know how to use the internet. When you see that meme of asmongold doing the 2$ steak that same food would cost him 20$+ if it's some mcd food delivery.Some people are struggling but a lot of these faggots I'm sure are pampered faggots who must eat their 10x overpriced mcd meal 3 times a week and are paying some retarded youtube subscription because they can't figure out how to block ads without it or something.I am now pro-boomer. Fuck these bitching faggots.
And now, the right repeats the exact same script.Confirmation bias is a hellava drug.
>>540415628How many houses did you buy from those saved money?
>>540417121>Lost job directly because of Trump and ElonThat means you didn't have a job. You had a sinecure. You were basically on welfare.
>>540414432Save $5 per week.52 weeks, that's $275 per year.Now save $5 per day. That'll more than offset those subscriptions.52 weeks, $5 per day, that's $1825 per year.Do that for 10 years and you don't have a downpayment on a house.Do that for 30 years and you don't have a downpayment on a house.Do it for 50 years and you'll be old or dead, and you won't have a downpayment on a house even in today's money.People who tell young adults to cut the Starbucks and stop taking subscriptions to streaming services demonstrate their financial illiteracy every time they do.The market is wider than electronics and coffee. 2 pounds of supermarket minced beef is €10 now. I paid €4 in 2019. Don't tell me that the €15 monthly subscription to sound (which I don't have btw) is too much.
>>540417456>Raise minimum wage>All fast food is unaffordable >Cattle buy it anyway>Ceos making vids of choking down their slop
>>540414483Left wing, right wingSame dodo bird.
Just eat ramen you entitled zoomllennial fucks
>>54041552320 dollarsMean wage in 1970 was $4 per hour
>>540417543I had a job now I don't have one and the money used to pay my salary now goes to jews. It's not like it was used to being the national debt down. TRUMPS added 2 trillion to that already and started another endless war causing the cost of everything to increase. So fuck you. VOTING STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT HOMOSEXUAL THIS FALL. LOL Just to piss shitmiggers off. Own da shitmiggs
Why can't just people admit stuff is more expensive now?
>>540415802>I make my food at home, like any sensible person (and clearly not you).exactly
>>540414990A house cost 15k hours of minimum wage in 1970.The same house costs 52k hours in 2025 with 2025's minimum wage.Most people don't make minimum, true.The 80% average is about $18 per hour which makes the house cost 30k hours still, excluding cost of life.But the mean being $4 in 1970 means that 15k is cut by 60% or so, getting you a rough average of 7000 hours of labour, which is 3,5 years assuming 2 weeks of holiday per year.They did that with a 5-year mortgage including cost of life.We can't do it even with a 20-year mortgage. 30 if we include cost of life.TVs have become dirt cheap, and nothing's worth watching on them except your PC.Houses have become prohibitively expensive and they're not really worth living in if you can afford it.
Shut up retard. I am financially responsible. I have no debt. Great credit, two degrees with zero debt, tons of skills, two cars I own outright and maintain on my own. I fix everything on my own, I am a Chad and have a fat penis. I still can't land a fucking job and retard cuckservatives like you are the new "firm handshakes" boomer faggots. I deserve a burrito when I want one (a real burrito, no bullshit rice or potatoes in it). For a fair price. Eat shit and die motherfucker.
>>540414718>>s-stop buying avocado toast!I mean, OP is partially right1 small haas avocado is $0.50-$0.9; if you want to mix some tomato and onion, that will run you $0.80 and $1. Get bakery bread $1.50 from grocery store. So $3.80 - $4.20 for the ingredients, and you can make at least 3 avocado toast.Hell, throw in a dozen eggs for $2.Going out to eat is expensive, and will drain your bank account.
>>540415849So data centers arent putting strain on our aging electrical grid?
>>540414831Decent ways to save money on these things, but that doesn't change the fact that our economy was wrecked and things that could be afforded before no longer can be.
>>540417456ok then what is your mom's job lmao, but you didn't answer what will happen to the people whose jobs is providing "waste of money" products, what percentage of jobs is making stuff that's a "waste of money"? you have an extremely childish and autistic view of the world and the economy>hurrrudrrr I live in me mom's basement and I don't waste moneyif everyone lived like that then the economy would collapse
>>540417310At a certain point, apps don't work anymore. They're made for specialized makes/models. Really more like generations.I've had this phone for like 4 years.
In the past if you ever used to be hot shit in the media it typically meant you were doing fairly okay financially. If you ever fell on hard times by definition you also fell out of public awareness. Now with social media, we get a rare glimpse into the full life arc of people going from being moderately famous online to becoming truly impoverished.

>>540417874Boomers can't admit that they fucked up and were bad leaders and bad businessmen for decades.That's not because they're boomers.It's because they're not in our financial position.They benefitted from their mistakes and leveraged the taxes of the youth in the future in loans ahead of time in order to generate those profits.I distinctly remember my boomer dad and a barely gen X uncle talking about subsidised pensions, how it's leveraging taxes from the children and how great it is that kids will be paying for their retirement.The gen Xer wondered if there even were enough children. My dad and mom are the only people of their generation in the family to have children, just me and my little brother.There are 10 of them to support and only 2 of us, so the X'er asks "hang on, are there enough children?""No, haha, I guess we'll just have to accept more immigrants than haha, it won't be my problem I'll be retired."They didn't know that immigrants of the sort we're getting are a net drain on the economy and have been a net drain for 50 years. Second gen and third gen as well.What used cost the taxes of 4,25 FTE per pension is now 10 FTE per pension.This system WILL collapse and there's nothing the boomers can do about it except deny that they fucked their wives too safely, and deny that they fucked with their children too vigorously.
>>540414990These disingenuous faggots think they can implant some obviously fake memory that things were ever this bad into everyones heads. People can see and feel what israel/trump have done to us. No amount of gaslighting will change that, nigger.
I see its such a meme that this thread is posted multiple times a day to try and convince people that Trump isnt a traitor.
>>540418282Thank you for the non dumb reply.
>>540417300If you deposit money in the bank, the bank is in debt. The bank then loans money out creating more debts. This works because of how much trust everyone has in the USA paying debts and the trust in their equities market to pay debts that allow companies equity to be valued at 20 years worth of earnings.

This post is fucking embarrassing.“People have iPhones and order takeout, therefore the economy is fine” isn’t economics. It’s cope from people who spent YEARS blaming Biden for every expensive grocery run and tank of gas, then suddenly discovered “personal responsibility” the second Republicans owned the economy.Rent too high? Budget better.Groceries expensive? Cook cheaper food.Insurance brutal? Stop wasting money.Can’t afford a house? Lower your expectations.Gas expensive? Drive less.Struggling despite working? Must be that fucking Netflix subscription.Give me a break.You don’t get to campaign relentlessly on AFFORDABILITY, win power, fail to meaningfully fix affordability, and then announce that anyone still struggling is just spoiled.That’s not an economic victory. That’s moving the goalposts because your argument collapsed.And owning an iPhone doesn’t mean housing is affordable. Ordering a burrito doesn’t erase a massive rent payment. Having Spotify doesn’t magically reduce insurance premiums, grocery bills, utility costs, interest rates, or healthcare expenses.Cheap consumer electronics and expensive necessities can exist simultaneously. Apparently that concept is too sophisticated for half of /pol/.The Republican message used to be: “Look how badly Americans are hurting.”Now it’s: “Actually Americans aren’t hurting, they’re just entitled.”Amazing how quickly the supposed working-class populism disappears when acknowledging economic pain becomes politically inconvenient.If your proof that the economy is thriving is telling Americans to buy less, eat out less, travel less, downgrade their lives, and shut the fuck up about prices, then congratulations:You didn’t prove prosperity.You proved people are being forced to adapt to an economy that still costs too fucking much.
>>540414432And was this their take under economic hardship while Biden was in office?>>540414483It's funny how much this triggered defensive reactions instead of people just pointing out it's a "no U!" of a meme about the left wing.Kinda telling.
>>540414432i guess republicans are just doubling down on being the part of jews and boomers
>>540419150lol if you want social collapse then sure, but if your argument includes any semblace of economic and social stability then "stop wasting money" is a retarded thing to say, 99% of the economy is about "wasting money", if the only jobs in existence were just about providing the minimum amount of nutrition and infrastructure then 90% of people wouldn't have jobs and the government would lose 90% of it's tax revenue

You're right, because all of that shit is still affordable. Cars are getting kinda bad, and yes food and gas are up in price which is annoying. It's rent and housing that have skyrocketed to the point an average wagie can barely afford an apartment. Even when I was making 26 per hour the rent started at 1500 for a tiny studio and really was more like 2000+ for a lot of one bedrooms, so it wasn't worth it to move out. Even with 720 credit and $60,000 in savings I couldn't get pre-approved for any houses because they start at 350k. MINIMUM and the only other option is a trailer with a fucking 458 dollar a month HoA fee. So yeah he's half right but he is also a retarded hypocritical maga shill
>>540414990>or maybe a house at 20 percent interestBefore banking deregulation. When you could get double-digit returns on just a savings account or a CD.>life has never been easier but you still complainExcept for the fact that even if you have a job where you can afford these luxuries you're constantly looking over your shoulder waiting for the axe to drop.Sure, the prices of many things have come way down. But who cares when there is a total lack of job security or career advancement. Very few of us had the good sense to be born into a family where we could go to work for our dad or uncle. Most of us have to endure the churn. And all of us doing this know that nothing is permanent and everything we've worked for can be taken from us on a whim at any moment. Go fuck yourself.
>>540414990A pineapple used to cost $10,000 (in today's money) in the 1700's, but by the 1930's they cost $3.85 (in today's money). And people still bitched about how bad the economy was then. There's just no pleasing ungrateful "Americans".
>>540415633>SAAR YOU ARE ORDERING THE UBER JEETS TOO MUCH SAAR
>>540414990Ok, so the things people need to live are more expensive, and the bing bing wahoos on top are cheaper. Yay. Good thing having a smart phone enriches peoples lives more than owning a house...
Having an iPhone is essentially a requirement for being employed at most white collar (and even some blue collar) jobs these days. You have it for about two years, maybe more. 1400/730. Each day, your phone costs you a little under 2 dollarsA burrito is a food item, multiple of which are consumed each day, and if we replace it just to mean “Americans complaining about food items on 1400 dollar phones,” the entire argument is obviously stupid. The cost of food far surpasses the cost of an individual phone.
>>540414432I prefer the $3 pepperjack steak fresca burrito from Taco BellWhat are these faggots on about?
>>540414990Ok Boomer
>>540417599this nigga never mentions the fact wages are the same as they were 20 years ago while everything else is 4-10x more expensive if you are lucky. disingenous fuck, zoomers have it worse now than us millennials even had it. my first apartment was $600 a month for a one bedroom, with living room and kitchen. that exact same apartment, literally same one now rents for $2200 in my area over a decade later
>>540414483I'm not sure these retards are even right wing. They're whatever Israel tells them to be.
>>540414432i have an iphone 6 which cost $119 at the time of purchase. I have a discontinued, yet grandfathered, "pay as you go" phone plan which costs a total of $100 per year for my minimal phone usage.
>>540420396>wages are the same as they were 20 years agoWhat the absolute fuck have you done to not manage to get a pay raise in the past 20 years? Is that even possible? Did you at least save and invest anything when your pay stretched a little farther 20 years ago?
>>540418116My job is irrelevant. The point is about the individuals complaining about the economy often wasting money on stupid shit like online subscriptions. I'm not giving a social prescription on how to run society.Apparently you think if people didn't pay for their pornhub subscriptions or twitch subscriptions or ordered 10x overpriced mcds that muh economy would collapse. First that doesn't make sense (many of these services are international and rich people will still keep using them) and more to the point I don't care. I met some American broke idiot who always donated 50$ to Fuentes every other day and then cried about being broke. No Fuentes is not going to lose his job if this broke idiot stops wasting his money on him and even if he did who cares?If you are broke and bitching about money then you shouldn't be spending money on luxuries like online subscriptions and take out. The boomers are right and based. Take the boomerpill.
>>540414887This is the correct attitude.
>>540417041Even corporate barely does it anymore. That said, if you need your phone to work they usually give you $80 an month extra or something.

>>540414990You didn’t need a computer to exist in the 1970s. You couldn’t afford an endless supply of new clothing items BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T NEED TO because garments were higher quality and were expected to last for years. Boots were REAL LEATHER and made by hand and designed to have the soles replaced because the upper leather was so well made that it could last you a lifetime. But yes, Capitalism is designed so that the mass of humans will always be left wanting. It’s how they keep us running at full speed on the treadmill of our own destruction.
>>540414432People are using the wrong word. When a middle class person says “ground beef is unaffordable” they’re lying, they can afford it. But that’s not the point, the point is it shouldn’t be this expensive. The people with less money will buy it less or not at all, it does impact them the most. I’m not going to stop buying ground beef because it cost 2x as much as it did a few years ago, but I’m allowed to complain about it.

>>540414432It's actually true for most people. Most people are completely addicted to conveniences and so entitled that they would not even begin to consider giving up even a single one. The smart phones, the subscription services, the food deliveries, the new cars, you name it. Almost everyone who has trouble with money, definitely 90%+, is actually making more than enough money to survive but are choosing to live outside their means. You don't need to eat out every day. You don't need every subsciption streaming service that exists. You don't need a brand new car every time your lease runs out. You don't need your own place when you're making less than the median income. You don't need the newest smartphone model every year. The human population needs a culling, badly. There are way too many mental and physical weaklings propagating at an alarming rate. Future society will be run by these people. The collapse is inevitable. The self correction will come.
>>540421339Yeah, all those conviences you listed are only for the best Goyim cattle and Jews. Get your priorities straight poor white disenfranchised people. If you want just a small glimmer of what it can be like for you, sign up for the Military and prove your loyalty to the ruling priest technocrat jews.

>>540422857> If they look like freaks and believe nonsense, why would you trust their politicsI'm not talking about me. I'm talking about the typical voter who is primarily motivated by how expensive shit is. Elections are about messaging, and the most effective messaging is always about the economy because it's a reality people live in every day. If you look at what many Republican lawmakers are saying publicly it's like a list of what NOT to say during an election year when Inflation is still a problem and the majority of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.>Just eat Ramen>Stop bitching about the economy. Also we need billions of dollars to continue bombing Iran.>Just work harder so you can get more money!>You're only poor because [condescending assumptions about people's spending habits]It's a recipe for disaster. Should people be eating out all the time? No. Go ahead and run prime time ads telling people they're ungrateful little shits that need to eat rice and beans though I'm sure that will work.
>>540414432Far as vehicles go that one isn't really the american consumer's fault, the market control and overinflated prices on vehicles with lack of options is brutal and buying old and used is an unknown that could cost you just as much in repairs over time as a car payment if you arent savvy.
>>540423162>Elections are about messagingone of the best arguments against democracy I've found
>>540422888True. Trannies are just super annoying. Fags on steroids. Their delusions wouldn't be half as bad if they kept them to themselves, but that's the whole point of pride. You have to wonder if they're not scapegoats >>540423162Oh the old Democrat "set up the economy to fail" gag?
>>540423162The Republican party doesn't exist to win, it exists to fight hard for a little while and then fold. They're controlled opposition who only serve as a breaking mechanism for the ever leftward march of Judeo-American politics.

Give us the details and try to explain how your personal financial situation isn't entirely self inflicted, then explain why you believe some politician is going to un-fuck all that for you and how.
amazing to see how everything reversed in 10 years timein 2015-16 democrats were the bury their head in the sand partynow it's trump and his droogs that do the same thing with as much or more disdain for their own voters
>>540414432Catturd is literally a shill paid to push Trump propaganda. Who cares?
>>540423493You guys are goobers if you pay me I'll write a better platform for your party
>>540423493Tell us about your struggles and how Donald Trump is responsible for your situation.
>>540414483stale pasta. the left can't meme
>>540414432>You can literally cook takeaway food at home and it tastes better and is a fraction of the price, make your own fucking burritoIt DOES taste better, because companies are *optimizing* recipes every day.
>>540423313Monarchy is also about messaging to the nobles that you won't interfere with their privileges or overly tax them. Modern dictatorships are about messaging to the army and powerful people within the state. It's inescapable, no one rules alone.>>540423371>Oh the old Democrat "set up the economy to fail" gag?They've been on the other end of it before. See: Jimmy Carter. The typical American voter IS a selfish idiot who doesn't really know what they want, but you're in a democracy. You can't lose them or you lose everything. If you want to criticize rampant consumerism you have to do it with tact, because right now people see extremely rich congressmen who live off the public dime telling them to stop eating 20$ burritos and think to themselves "hey, wait a minute. I don't eat out that much only once a week. And that twenty dollar burrito was 8 dollars ten years ago. And don't you make a bunch of money off of insider trading?" And from that moment you've lost that voter. You also lose votes from the people who do live within their means but are still seeing their cost of living increase, and yes those people do exist. Not every poor person is buying ubereats.>>540423488>I'll bite. Give us the details and try to explain how your personal financial situation isn't entirely self inflicted, then explain why you believe some politician is going to un-fuck all that for you and how.I'm doing fine. I'm talking about the vast majority of voters. It's estimated around half of working adults live paycheck to paycheck, and while the average voter is ignorant they're capable of looking at their grocery bill and noticing the numbers going up when they buy the same products they always have. That's what I'm trying to say, it doesn't matter if it is or isn't the fault of the sitting party. You can't win a fucking election if you lose those people. I don't think this is hard to understand.
>>540418047It's generally correct to assume that whatever you purchase - food, clothes, etc - has at least a 100% markup at the last point of sale and most have more.If you can make it yourself, you should.
>>540423493>now it's trump and his droogs that do the same thing with as much or more disdain for their own votersThese guys aren't Trump voters, they're leftists in coastal cities blaming Trump for the exorbitant living costs caused by Democrat policies in their cities/states.
>>540423588I'm fine, just an observer. R's are ignoring their own constituents grievances and concerns by insulting/bullying/dismissing them just like D's did when they expected all their working class to just mindlessly push the D button for Clinton. That's why your lot has resorted to highly personalized snipes at anyone questioning whether the administration's priorities are in order or pondering what the point of 10 years of Trumpism was really about. It's a brazen strategy derived from hubris and it is a losing one
>>540423759I've come around on Carter. He was right, consumer spending is bad. But he sunk his own ship and the reps reaped the reward
>>540422617Why at this stage of the fucking game would any of us legitimately support this administration? Are you some kind of submissive retard who believes that things are Happy Go Lucky right now?
