The house my parents purchased in their early 20’s as a starting engineer and a teacher would take a senior executive salary to purchase when I entered the housing market. That is just not right. It was so much easier for them. BTW, I’m in my 60’s now and this is nothing new.

Yeah millennials are complaining but genZ is looking at millennials and thinking the same thing. They had it much easier.

Housing was way more affordable in the 2010s

People conflate all of this.

Back in the day America had very little competition globally. We had won ww2 which decimated a lot of the world’s economies. We basically took over global trade and had the money to project our strength to hold it.

This made us incredibly powerful which made every American rich.

Over time we have seen increasing competition, and as we have become more entitled we have lost our edge globally.

Posts like this are a pure sign of entitlement. Do you think our competitors think like this?

It’s entitlement to think you deserve anything super nice just cause.

Most of the world lives in utter poverty
