Boomers wrecked the economy, pretty simple

Raised to expect the shit that their grandparents and parents benefited from but a lot of those institutions are over burdened or non-existent. They also have to compete against millions of immigrants that their grand-parents didn't when they were the same age.
>>68175935
>That image
>Muh student debt! Muh evil capitalism!
>>68176718
It's not that, it's the fact that tuition is horrendously expensive compared to what it was then.
>>68175935
You lazy ungrateful fuck
There are plenty of well paid jobs around, chances are you are just either retarded or you are autistic in job interviews. From your annoying voice alone I wouldn't hire you
>>68175935
YOU ARE DOING BETTER YOU FAGGOT!
YOU GET EVERYTHING YOUR PARENTS NEVER HAD ITS JUST YOUR SO SURROUNDED BY IT YOU DONT EVEN FUCKING UNDERSTAND IT!
for one, having a cellphone, is an AMAZING fucking thing, and the fact you can have a cellphone thats a pocket pc, internet etc, is beyond imagination.
But nope, bah, running water, working heat, electricity, thats stupid, i want moarrr
>>68175935
It's our society that's fucked up
>student loans
kek
inb4 cuck, ahmed, etc.
stay mad.
College is expensive as fuck and boomers are retarded but that doesn't mean we should go full bernie and fuck my economy up.
College should be cheaper, not free. Anything free is ALWAYS abused.

>>68177342
How does every other civilized society get away with free school?
>>68177828
probably because the U.S. has the best universities in the world?
>not going to a CC before transferring
>not getting scholarships
>not serving 4 years in the military for a full free ride including living costs
These cucks feel entitled to their $60k art degree
>>68177959
Private colleges would still stay private under Bernie.
Boomers- Helped ruin the economy
Millennials- Assume they should have even easier life than the boomers.
To the credit of the Millennials if the boomers hadn't pissed away all that money everyone's lives in the west would be easier.
>>68177828
NATO Euros have like no military, because they rely on us to supply the bulk of it. That money can go into shit like free healthcare and college.
>>68177828
Probably because they are their whole country is the size of one of our states
>>68176804
Contrary to popular beliefs, you don't HAVE to go to college.
>>68177828
Because it's not impossible, like so many here would have you believe.
Subsidized education, healthcare, childcare and housing are all completely possible with our current system but the ultra wealthy would only be wealthy.
Think of it this way - the averaged income per person in the US is about 100,000 dollars a year. If you redistributed that wealth down to the people who make 20-50,000 a year so that they can afford to raise a family and their kids can get an education, the economy would be better off because there are more employable people and more wealth is in circulation rather than accumulating interest in a bank account. There are some people who are more successful than others, but that doesn't mean those less successful should be penalized for it. Conversely, the wealthy can still lead happy lives if their earnings are taxed at a higher rate so that they make 70-80% of the money required to live an extravagant lifestyle.
tl;dr redistribution of wealth is good for the economy, trickle-down economics is a ruse created by the wealthy to siphon off even more wealth
>>68178505
Millennials were basically brainwashed into thinking that the only way to suceed in life was to go to college. It was basically expected that if you were an average or above average student that you would attend some sort of post secondary education. It's hard to make rational decisions when you're only 17 and have been brainwashed since birth that you need post secondary education.
>>68175935
We wouldn't be having these problems with student loan debts and youth unemployment if the boomer generation was actually willing to TRAIN generation Y right out of high-school.
But no, the boomer generation really does have this idea that "its someone else's job to train my employees, the schools need to do it for me!"
Training an employee straight out of high school used to be seen as normal in the boomer generation, it is generally seen as abnormal for my generation.
>>68178570
>average income is 100k per person
Retarded cuck.
>>68178815
He's not a cuck, just clearly a privileged white male living in NYC or LA.
>>68175935
Someone shop those massive weights to say "Womyn's Studies" and "Urban Studies" so it is more accurate.
>>68176899
>muh kids these days have it easy because smartphones
>>68177828
If I had to pay to go to university, I would not be going.
They get away with it not costing much because schools are not expensive as fuck like in the U.S
>>68177342
College is a waste of money and most of the teachers are idiots that teach you things that are completely useless for money making job purposes. The only reason to go to college is to meet other people.
>>68178893
I mean that if the total income of the USA were divided among its citizens, it would be about 100 grand per year.
Has nothing to do with free shit. The marriage between corporate fascism and government socialism has sucked wealth and opportunity out of this country.
The millennials realize they are fucked and are clamoring for political reform. This gets hijacked by the Sorosnet and turned into a clamor for more socialism
>>68175935
They should of just started working instead of falling for the college jew.
The problem is not graduating with student loans, the problem is not enough a job lined up upn graduation. The jobs are gone. Boomers sold us out for cheap Chinese goods.
how accurate is this?

A lot of doors in America are "locked" unless you have a college degree. These doors are locked and cannot be opened unless you have a degree.
If you want to teach English in a foreign country, you need a BA or BS degree- this door is locked and no amount of experience can open this door unless you have a degree.
Many government and state jobs are like this too. It doesn't matter who you know, what your personality is, how motivated you are, or your experience. The door is locked unless you have a degree.
I personally see this as classism. You will encounter a lot of classism if you don't have a degree. A lot of people will look down on you.
>they actually fell for the college meme
kinda the same situation , did my education , graduated , no jobs to be found...
>>68178680
Front of the Millenial Generation here but almost don't consider myself one - I remember a time when a 30KB pic would take 2min to download.
Anyway, ya, from parents to teachers to guidance councelors that is all they ever seemed to harp on was college preparedness. I do believe one needs post-secondary education but this knowledge can be acquired across many different channels and especially if someone has the aptitude and gumption. We were brainwashed and now under the thumb...all by design.
>>68175935

Why are you too retarded to write correctly in your own language?
>>68175935
They don't want jobs, they expect them.
No nurses or doctors are bitching about needing work.
Welders and carpenters generally aren't bitching about needing jobs.
Those groups trained for real actual jobs.
I don't know what kind of jobs millenials expect, they don't appear to get on a path to a career.
They just kind of like dicking around as overgrown children with no direction.
I personally am planning on studying Music in College then immediately joining The Royal Navy after I graduate.
I want to develop my passion as much as possible, while also being able to do my dream practical job. Studying Music for a good few years should also make it more likely that I could start a successful music career after I'm done with my Naval service.
It's not a perfect plan, but it's the best I can see for my life right now.
>>68179588
If a boomer had done so in their hay day, all they'd have to do is go down to the local mill and apply for a job there. Even at 25, they are now on a career that will have them going up in life.
>>68179588
Are you kidding me mate? 50% of my friends who went to Pharmacy school are fucked because in the last decade the number of pharm schools doubled but not hospitals. My other friends in nursing are also fucked because of the sole competition that the previous 3.0 GPA requirement was raised to 3.7, and getting an internship after that is offered to only the top 40%.
And I'll tell you in 7 years how fucked doctors are going to be once medicare is butchered by the government

I literally can't think of a better job. It's great, you're employed for life and the salary is top tier.
>>68178505
Contrary to popular belief, yes you do.
>>68179833
Don't be a cuck. Take a STEM major. Music is what you do on your pasttime once you're established
>>68179170
This is a major problem for millenials.
Another problem is that there are just fewer and fewer jobs in general. A computer controlled robot can do what 100 factory workers did in 1950. A fleet low maintenance machines are coming to replace most unskilled and even some skilled labor.
There are simply fewer jobs available than people who need them.
If people are not compensated in some other way to keep the economy going, it will all grind to a halt and a revolution will occur.

We really need to divide the term "millennial." There's a huge fucking difference in mentality of people born in 85-90 than there are people born in 95+.
I was born in 88, and while I fell for the college bullshit that was crammed down my throat, I sucked it up, improved myself, and fought off my debt. I have several peers who did the same. We were all extremely vocal to people younger than us that college could very well be a debt-laden end. And of the two kids I tried to influence who were both born in 96 (friends of my little sister-in-law), one is getting a fucking art degree and the other is in radio or journalism.
GOD DAMMIT, WE FUCKING WARNED YOU. And now people my age have generally come to terms with our debt, paying for it, and making the most of our mistakes, while younger "millennials" cheer on Bernie Freeshit Jewders.
We need separate labels. Tired of being lumped in with those retards.

Government funded public education guarantees that you need some form of education after leaving highschool.
You have no value in the job market if you only have a highschool diploma.
>>68178505
It's sort of a self fulfilling prophecy.
Also, tuition isn't just high because of many people going to college.
Yeah bro become a stem major. It's not like big companies bring curry niggers over on h1b's to make your degree redundant.
>>68180547
This is the problem right here, people literally just want things handed to them. Millennials have been programmed to have things just given to them.
Im in Uni right now to get an education degree and then later I'll go back to school for a business degree to work in administration so I can rake in 150k a little later in life. Seriously the only issue millennials have is just pure laziness and lack of scope.
Build a plan, be willing to put in work, end up happy in the long run rather than instant gratification.

http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/09/news/economy/america-5-6-million-record-job-openings/
>Bad news: The number of job openings could be a reflection of companies not finding the right candidates. Many Americans don't have the skills that those available jobs require. It's called the job skills gap, and it has become a serious problem in the U.S.
American companies keep saying "there's a labor shortage! There's a skills gap! We can't find enough skilled applicants!"
Well if there's a skills gap, then why don't you do what every other generation in humanity's history has done? TRAIN people to get those skills?
But no, the baby boomer generation would rather complain to the government for more immigration and blame the school system.
Yeah, (insert STEM rhetoric), because companies dont bring curry niggers overseas on H1B's to make your degree redundant.
>>68179443
my parents can and did pay for my education, why wouldn't i continue my studies?
i don't see how it is right to call me entitled when i highlight the many faults of the boomer generation and even the generation before them
imo the original entitled generation were the greeks who thought democracy was a right. then the enlightenment thinkers who thought they had a right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"
all these generations felt they had rights not previously offered to them and they fought to change the status quo. calling millennials entitled generation is generalizing and foolish
Feminism. Single mothers
>>68179978
In their heyday was the most prosperous time in the country. Those jobs went to cheap foreign imports.
You want a global market but don't want to be a global labor.
A lot of mill jobs are lost due to engineering out the human need though.

There really are tons of jobs. the issue is that you have to use some imagination to get past the memegineer tier jobs that only poo in loos and significantly connected or gifted people are able to get in this competitive market.

>>68175935
A little mix of both.
Boomers fucked up our economy and made education and healthcare so buttfuckingly expensive. Most have a tendency to remember what it was like when they went through college.
My dad had people coming to him and offering him jobs when he was graduating and couldn't fathom why I didn't have that happening my senior year.
Conversely, Millennials are entitled faggots who were coddled and had everything handed to them on a silver platter. Real world hits them like a torn of bricks.
Job prospects suck. Boomers simply don't want to train anybody. They only want to hire somebody with X years experience for a entry level job.
>>68175935
>Mfw no student debt, 27 years old, 6 figures annually, 15 year loan on a $120,000 home with super low interest (would be a $200,000 in a larger market), and a $50,000 truck
Fuck college
>>68181748
Education is not buttfuckingly expensive if you get a real education in something actually valuable to society and don't spend years dicking around making a career of going to college for urban (nigger) studies.

>>68180221
Trade schools are less expensive, and with a few exceptions get you more fulfilling and better-paying jobs that are more beneficial to society and in higher demand.
College is so the Humanities professors can shit on your brain and systematically discourage critical thinking.
>>68181708
>taking a handout
Beta as fuck
>>68179588
That is a load of fucking bullshit and you know it.
We can't find jobs without a college degree these days. Everything requires one today, I saw a job posting for data entry that wanted a degree plus 3 years experience. I don't know what employers think is so hard about typing numbers into excel, but it obviously requires years of experience and degree.
They REFUSE, absolutely refuse to train today's youth on even the most simple of task. Everyone is expected to go out and go into debt to get a degree then spend years working for free to gain experience.
Jobs that you might (even for low paying jobs there is very little possibility) pay next to nothing and are complete dead ends.
>>68181930
LOL
Education costs the same regardless of degree. And there are equally shitty job prospects all around, even for god's chosen people the STEM majors (I am one). Salaries now are just not worth the expense of the degree.
I'm telling you, we're headed towards a UBI like in Ontario. There are simply not enough jobs for people.
>>68181930
I'm going to be graduating with my medical degree with a lofty $200,000 in debt.
What costs one trimester in my program now is what it cost for 4 years 30 years ago.
>all you have to do is make a plan, figure out which degrees are worthless and which aren't, get a useful degree through a college program because every college has every single kind of program for every job you can think of, pay for all of it somehow without a job because you have education (lol dont worry you can get a pell grant, oops your white nvm lol), pull yourself up by your boot straps, look the manager directly in the eye and give him a firm handjob
>btw learn all of this somehow by yourself with nobody to help you or guide you through the academic process its ez ok
One thing I just don't get is why students are willing to take a big loan for an useless degree?
I mean here there are no tuition fees, and yet most people think it's a bad idea to study something like gender studies because it's hard to get a job. And in the US people get a huge loan to study it? It's our own fault. How does this information not pass to younger people who are applying to universities?
>>68181764

This is more or less what boomers and colleges tell you. Get two years in and you're pigeonholed into a shit program.
I loved the philosophy program in my school, but I knew there were zero job prospects for it, which is why I minored in it.
>>68175935
They usually follow their passion instead of following common sense
100% it's because you fucks are lazy. I'm 22, have shitposted around ten hours a day for the past ten years like most of you, and still am incredibly successful. I've made over $1million in my online/IRL businesses just by putting in like, 2-4 hours a day. And when I'm working alongside of anyone my age they always start using their phone within 5 minutes tops, and ask about breaks every fucking 5 seconds.
>>68183228

>>68183493
This. So much this. If I hadn't done a minor in statistics while getting my super cool polisci degree I would not be employed right now. Fuck non-STEM/non-graduate degrees.
>waste 4 years and $200K partying and studying women's studies

They should just get rid of all non-STEM/law/business programs in universities. I had an offer for a 6 figure job before I even graduated from college.
>>68179588
Milennials think they are entitled to 100k/yr cause they got a masters degree in fat studies or sociology
>>68175935
Millennial here. The issue is that a lot of them love to have fun, but cut corners when it comes to work. They expect college to be a breezy way into a comfy, cozy life in the suburbs. Meanwhile less and less people are getting jobs after college.
Whenever the other kids my age ask me what I'm doing after high school, I tell them I'm going to trade school, learning a vocation, etc.
And EVERY ONE of them scratched their heads and asked what the heck a trade school was.

>>68185942
Same here, white middle class, parents pretty much had nothing so I had to do it myself, but I took a bit different route. I started working in high school and saved up, and I worked all through college. I didn't take a single loan.
And you KNOW how many people you went to college with who just goofed the fuck off and partied all weekend. There is so much down time in college, there's no excuse not to study hard and/or work some part-time. But everyone else just had to party and fuck around. I have no sympathy for them.
And I did my first two years at community college. You can save THOUSANDS of dollars with this one weird trick.
They could have done it exactly like me, working jobs every summer earning money and weekends and doing 2 years at CC. They could have done it like you, buckling down and studying and earning scholarships. Nope, they signed their fully willing and adult legal signature to borrow a fuckton of money from financial institutions, gambling that they'd get a good enough job to be able to pay it back.
I have not one iota of sympathy.

millennials finish highschool and immediately peruse bullshit like sociology, political science, philosophy, or the arts. when they graduate they have this expectation that a 6 figure job is waiting for them and if there isnt one they go on welfare or remain dependents until they are awarded a career.

Why the fuck do people think they need college again? Yes to get certain specified job fields, but just to make a good living, you need a good work ethic and experience more than fucking anything. Will a person want to hire someone with a degree and no experience or someone with four years experience and no degree? The answer is simple. Work and your problems will be solved, get a degree in a specified field at age 25 when you can afford to be enrolled without crushing debt.

How the fuck does that make sense!

WTF is wrong with all these idiots who took out student loans. I graduated in 3.5 semesters with less than $7,000 in debt, and I had to pay for all 3.5 of those semesters and room/board. It's called working while you go to school and not partying all the god damn time.
Fucking sanders supports go to school to get the "college experience" which is just code for drinking, drugs, and sex. Anyone with half a brain should be able to get through school without help for very minor loans. The problem is these kids are trading away their futures for a shot at some pussy or to get out of the house so they can try the dark meat.
Fuck all of those morons, they have the debt that they willingly took on. If they didn't want the debt, they should have found a job and a cheaper school and cut down on the expenses.

I used to be bitter about my mother making some 200k a fucking year until I remembered how I grew up. We were poor as shit and she was working on offices making barely 8/hr in 80s money, decided in like 93 to get into trades. Spent ten years eating shit until she had enough money to move from motorwinding to general electric trades, and poured every bit of extra she made into more education and continued to work her way up the ladder as she did. You eat shit and work hard long enough that eventually you'll be rewarded, even if that takes twenty years.

their parents.
There is literally nothing wrong with their brain or their genetical heritage. The only thing that ruins a person is it's socialization and its social/cultural environment.
You just can't hate a person for what it is. The "not their fault" is not a meme. Yes it'snigger's fault if he robs a store. But it's not exactly his fault (for the reasons you kow but chose to ignore). Same goes for millenials.
I am 19 years old. I am your meme. The millennialest of millenials. Only because of my age? But I was born in a good family. My father is cultured and listened to Miles Davis, read french authors, Hemingway. My brother made me play Heroes of Might and Magic, Sly Racoon, Age of Empire, Rome Total War and Baldur's Gate. He made me listen to Metallica, Alice in Chains, Foo Fighters, Sonic Youth and Smashing Pumpkins.

This statement right here is always the statement that proves communist faggots like yourself have no idea how economics and currency works. You know all that money people including the rich put into banks does?
Well it's a little thing called the multiplier effect. This is what creates NEW money. Do you know what taxes and government fees do? It DESTROYS money. Without the banks taking money and using it to create loans that build interest, you would lose the creation of currency while the government continues to destroy it.

Good god. Its not all of us, but there sure is many.
I have had plenty of friends who went to college without a clue what they wanted to do in their life. They also did 1 or 2 years on academic probation because they can't even pass freshman level classes. The degrees they were chasing were essentially non-revenue degrees. I lived in the "art dorm" (only like 4 engineers out of 500 people) and I was surrounded by people who could not accept that their standard of living could plummet as soon as they graduated, if they did.
I stuck with an engineering group of friends that have their eyes on the prize. Each one is talking about investments and financial independence. To be fair I have moved back home with my parents (because they make $200k a year and have a nice house) for the last year and a half to repay my masters level college debt to them. The first thing I did was pay back ALL my loans to them. If my parents weren't nice enough to let me live in their house I would still be putting money on rent and loan repayment only. But I have now acquired enough money to put down 20% on a house big enough for a family, and I probably will soon. The girls I date are only those that can maintain financial independence as well. I don't have very high standards, but walking into a marriage expecting to not be responsible for expenses is a no-go.
There are two groups of millennials.
1. Those that understand they need to be financially independent and smart because they know they CANNOT make as much money as their parents did, and that perpetual debt is suicide in other words don't pretend your job will last forever.
2. Those that walk out of college and hope that here is some sort of safety net that catches them. These are the ones that begin to think they they might have to start looking for a job AFTER they graduate college. These are the ones that start sending money to credit cards because of "muh youth".

The millennial generation ended in 1993. The next generation is generation z. College is a business in the US plain and simple. The real problem isn't laziness or lack of scope, it's just a shitty system. You may have tried to warn younger people but you are not qualified to do so, even if you are right. Guidance counselor sin high school are supposed to tell you how college works but they don't. And the more accessible college is, it only furthers the requirements for advancement in life. I.e an associates degree is a joke, even though it is college education, now everyone wants a bachelors degree. You say you fell for it, and are now paying for you mistakes. Fool me once, and so on. You shouldn't be able to fall for anything that will completely and irrevocably change your career/ life path. That's a fucking con.

Fucking sanders supports go to school to get the "college experience" which is just code for drinking, drugs, and sex. Anyone with half a brain should be able to get through school without help for very minor loans.
Sanders supporters realize that the relative value of a college degree is outrageous compared to the cost, and that this trend is largely a result of cutting federal and state funding to Universities. Furthermore, the "college experience" for the kind of people Sanders is trying to enable isn't the hedonistic bullshit you're imagining. Tons and tons of students work shit jobs for 25-30 hours a week on top of 3-5 classes, and still end up in insane debt.
I also have a college degree (and most of a masters) without debt. But I empathize with people who, even if perhaps they made a poor financial decision when they were 18, find themselves with a burdensome loan that stops them from participating fully in the economy. It doesn't help anyone. That you can't see past your own anecdotal success because you spitefully want to ensure people suffer the consequences, however outrageous, of a rigged system. Saddling people with debt is bad for the United States. Pathetic

Sounds like you fucked up by not working an internship in college and making connections.
You know that's the thing about you millennials. You fail to realize that experience isn't really what is going to get you hired. Connections will. If you worked that internship in college for FREE (wahh slave labor hnnng... suck up pussy it's a short term sacrifice for a bigger payoff, you are being paid in EXPERIENCE) you could have that job. All you have to do is show a good work ethic and be friendly with your boss. Then when you are out of college you go back to the same place, apply and tell the boss "Hey I know the job from my internship blah blah you know I have a good work ethic blah blah blah hire me." Typically they will hire you and give you a chance.
But no... millennials are just fucking too stupid to do that.
>We can't find jobs without a college degree these days. Everything requires one today

Even if you're somehow morally adrift enough to set aside the philosophical implications of favoring a massive, impoverished underclass that works full time but teeters on the edge of insolvency, it isn't practical. The capitalist economy of the first world relies on a sustainable middle class and working class with the purchasing power to participate in the economy. If we allow a tiny minority of people to accumulate the tremendous majority of wealth, and let it either sit unproductively in bank accounts or invested outside the United States, depriving the American people and government any returns on the investments we enabled, the economy begins to stagnate. 2008 was a direct result of this behavior.

Ah, the STEM master race meme, where everything that isn't a hard science is a "joke major" because society is an uncomplicated place and history, literature, and art have neither abstract nor material value. What a sophisticated worldview.
>People who actually take study real majors like STEM recognize the value of a degree and aren't afraid of loans because they can pay it off two years after graduating.
Many cannot, and as more and more people take this route, it is going to become increasingly difficult for, say, CS graduates to find work in their field. This is already happening. A diverse economy is not sustainable if every single person is forced to choose between STEM work or the service industry, and inflicting that on a country and its people because of some stupid axiomatic belief in the fairness of capitalism is incredibly shortsighted.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/steveodland/2012/03/24/college-costs-are-soaring/#6c2372b7641b
“…if the cost of college tuition was $10,000 in 1986, it would now cost the same student over $21,500 if education had increased as much as the average inflation rate but instead education is $59,800 or over 2 ½ times the inflation rate.”

no ones denying the boomers fucked it up for us. but sitting around and bitching about it and expecting things to be handed to you is the opposite of what needs to happen. Were gonna have to work, and at the same time put in a government set on bringing jobs and prosperity back.
Electing a democrat will do nothing but do to the next generation, what the boomers did to us.

you think you're being clever, but people like you would tell a white living in south africa to "just deal with it."
fuck you. I'm a red blooded capitalist. but when it gets to the point where whites are literally being killed in the streets, and niggers are imported in the millions, none of whom can be policed, I don't give a FUCK about what you think anymore. it's war, and if you support our enemies, you will die.

I would really like to see someone own a home at 22 where I live by joining the workforce out of high school. GL with that $100k down payment.
>>68194066
What the fuck are you trying to "win"? what are you even talking about?
Are you admitting you support someone like bernie knowing its gonna fuck the shit out of america?
Wew

I looked at the comments on that 4-year-old article.
One commenter suggested online colleges would be a great equalizer for high cost public colleges.
Funny to see how that did NOT work out
>>68193860
I'm not gonna read the entire thread just for your supposed counterargument.
fact of the matter is that job creation is dead in a ditch. mean and median income have both fallen, hours worked and labor force participation are ALL down. if you have evidence that blue collar specifically is different, have that source handy. because we barely caught up to the jobs lost in 08, AFTER 7 years of pop growth and immigration amounting to an extra 30 million people.
30 million deficit, oh, AND that's with a job creation rate averaging 1.2 million a year. so it'll take us more than thirty years to match the gap during the recession if the population STOPS growing.
wow. I'm impressed.

>learn to remodel, fix, and repair your own shit while getting paid
Clean, safe home repair =/= blue collar work generally. Working as a steamfitter on an ancient boiler full of asbestos or in a chemical plant, steel mill, or industrial welding is more like it with tons of toxic occupational exposure and bodily injury.
Sorry, but no hot chicks in denim with toolbelts with you in a cushy suburb like some cable tv diy show...

also let me add that I do special inspections and observations for construction projects. I know exactly what the demographics are.
Its two white guys that are construction managers and 30 illegals that cannot speak english

where did you get bernie from my post? you're dumb, no wonder you're an english teacher.
getting a job won't help our situation. working hard won't help. we're a communist country, and don't be dumb, if you want to pretend that working hard will get you out of a shitty situation created by communism, please feel free to go to russia and never come back to demonstrate your point.

>Nihilistic capitalism will be the death of the western world, and for a board full of supposed "nationalists" /pol/ sure doesn't seem to give a shit about their actual fellow citizens.
That's because a good portion of /pol/ is a bunch of rich boi edge lords that are in love with idea of nationalism. But when it comes down to it they are only for themselves. Given the opportunity, I bet most of them would hire an illegal for pennies on the dollar to save a little instead of paying a fellow U.S. citizen. Or buy some Chinese made garbage over American goods to save a little.
It's been my observation that people who are quick to call lower classes losers or lazy, tend to be the very people who have had everything handed to them on a silver platter and know nothing of real hardship.
The distinct lack of empathy is a dead giveaway.

700 studios are defacto in asian capitals and used to be in germanic european countries.
property really only goes up in countries where white people have to run away from niggers and muslims beheading people in bad neighborhoods
