>wages have been stagnant for 18 years
>>510744885 (OP)This is the best time in history to be alive, life couldn't be better
yes they fucking have. meanwhile ceos and companies owned by "shareholders" demand YEAR OVER YEAR improvement on PROFITS.
its disgusting. Instead of old school "8% profit or more is a good business!" its "WE MADE RECORD PROFITS LAST YEAR. DO AT AGAIN + 20% MORE! I DONT GIVE A FUCK WHAT U GOTTA DO"
the american dream is DEAD. I'm fucking PISSED man. Boomers talk about hard work pays off, you can work yourself to DEATH in this country and still never own a home.
1950s your home cost maybe 3x years salary. Now it's 7-10 years salary. A car and mortgage didn't take 60-75% of your salary back then. I'm just sick of existing. FUCK.
I make 75k a year. 80k with bonus. in 2010 this would be great money. Now I live with my girl in low cost housing and we STILL FUCKING LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK. "you're living beyond your means anon" No the FK im not. $1200 for a 2 bedroom. $1000 a month between two vehicles. $240 a month for two people insurance. Internet is $120. Food oh my GOD don't get me started.. $200 a week? even if I ate like a PANJEET it would be half that and why torture myself? I get zero enjoyment from anything else.. at least let me get my dopamine from shit food that is gonna give me supercancer in a few years.. oh speaking of already got diagnosed with cancer 3 years after getting the covid shot. How ironic.
FUCK these are supposed to be the best years of my life.. my 20s SUCKED ASS and my 30s are even worse. Your pic OP is what I think of doing every day of my fucking life.
>>510746201I don't want a million dollars, or a house, or a new car, or a wife or a family. I just want to not constantly fucking worry about obtaining the means of survival.
