Comfortably middle class and steadily employed haha what a loser
Homer's key trait is "dumb." Generally not a loser. It's beside the point but there have also been stretches where he's not employed, the nuclear plant finds him retarded enough to keep him away at least for a little while
>>223823237RETARDED BASKINSPAMhaha what a loser. kys
>>223823237Back in the day, not having a second home by the lake with a motorboat was considered being a fucking loser.
Adjust for inflation he earned a lot for his time 1990s, purchasing power was higher back then
>>223823237>same age as Homer>same hair>two university degrees>no house>no car>no wife / gf>no kidsI just can't watch the Simpsons anymore without getting jealous.
A house like that in a small town could've easily been purchased with one salary up until Covid devalued our currency so much. That was basically the last fuck you the Boomers gave to everyone until the Social Security system collapses
>>223823478fake and gay he took home 200 bucks
>>223823478Why fucking bother faking this bullshit? Anyone can do a quick Google search and see his take home was $362.19
>>223823478>1600 bucks isn't that much>40 hrs payoh
>>223823237SNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED
pol shill agitation thread btw
>>223823383His key trait is loving his family
>>223823437>>223823490Watch the show. There's an episode where a much more qualified man who lives in squalor gets hired at the Nuclear Plant and he gets angry when he's sees the life Homer got himself by being a lazy dumbass drunk. In universe Homer is literally God's chosen person. Everything he has was basically promised to him 3000 years ago.
>>223823237Simpsons was inspired by The Flintstones which was inspired by The Honeymooners. What’s funny about the Honeymooners is they live in a crampt ass apartment in the 50s. So yeah, it having a house of a single low income job was never a realistic
>>223823478
>>223823637Well, that's exactly why I'm jealous.I'm the Grimey of my universe (except for the having-kids-with-hookers-part)
>>223823637Wasn’t the Grimey episode supposed to be incredibly self-aware about how Homer is a retard yet everyone just loves him and lets him gets away with everything
>>223823745Not retarded necessarily, but under qualified for the position 100%. Its the episode where Lenny reveals that both himself and Carl (and presumably a large number of plant employees) have advanced degrees in nuclear engineering.Homer just showed up the day the plant opened and asked for a job.
>>223823237they weren't comfortable. There were lots of episodes showing they had money problems and homer needing help
>>223823237Imagine a cartoon where homer was an abusive drunk father, but it embraced the dark negatives instead of basically glorifiying alcoholismThat would be so disturbing. I would love to watch it.
>>223823517>>223823698>>223823524he's likely just adjusting for 2 weeks pay. The original is only 40 hours pay.
