I bought a house when I was 20.
It's not that Millenials are lazy, it is hard to get a job, I know I had trouble.
The problem is once they have a job, they're fucking useless at not wasting their money.
both are shit generations. both are full of unearned self importance and both had their major contributions to the decline of decent culture and civilization. I wish the Greatest Generation could come back and whip us all into shape.
born in '83 and bitter i missed the gen x board by like a year or two btw.
>>29671917
average house in my country is 250 grand ukp so its nearly impossible to earn that money before you are 25+, and the amount of time you will have to save a low paid job wage for almost isnt worth it, so they spend it all
During the great depression there were lots of single men drifting around the country looking for any work.
We're basically living through the same thing.

The two generations before you set you up to win. All you had to do was try however now that we lived in a globalised economy where we have to compete with 100x Pajeet and Chang for entey level jobs in any industry but when you wanted a job the protectionist govt of the time. The state of India, China and Japan from the 40's-90's meant all you had to do was compete with billy the inbred down the road for a well-paid career for the rest of your life.
Im all for free trade worldwide but the competition is just horrendous and times have changed massively since back in the day.
Sorry Mum & Dad that to feel the same sense of worth as you we need to rail a fat line of meth.
>"What have you been learning at college Anon? No, no, I mean what life skills have you learned? Been on any dates?"
You have to get the right degree or get lucky. 90% of us are fucked, especially as the gig economy takes over with middle class jobs disappearing. Enjoy working two part-time jobs and having a side gig just to get by.

What was your dads reaction? Did he rethink his stance or continue in ignorance?
>>29672104
Free trade is one thing, but movement of labour is another
The the populace of a country is moving away to find work, or are taking up jobs with foreign multicorps, the government of that country should be fucking ashamed. Focus on making your country competitive, rather than letting your population suck on the teat of corporations

>>29671838
The millennials who are alive and successful today were the exceptions of their time. Most were losers and are dead. So, they expect us to be successful without realizing we are competing with other children of exceptions, so we need to be exceptions on exceptions which is way harder.
Everyone owning a house in their 20s at any point in the past is a myth.

>ITT: OP triggers me
If you look at the economy over the course of the past sixty or seventy years from a macro-scale standpoint, you see that these "Baby Boomers" and our parents, which I guess we could call the Video Music era as that is something they are called (for whatever stupid fucking reason you'd want to be labeled that) have been solely responsible for inflating the economy and the housing bubble up until the "millennials" even had a chance. Baby Boomers ruined the future for millennials.
There's also something like triple the population of people in the U.S. now from when the Baby Boomers were around, and that, of course, makes it much harder to get a job. We are starting to make up jobs. There is now such a job as "Professional Instagrammer" for companies.
Now, to get a job, you must have more requirements and be able to beat out 2,000,000 other specialists and the entirety of India, or however many people it may be you are fighting against.
You can't even join the military anymore. There is a one year wait list for the U.S. Navy and the Air Force, and now there are actual PSYCH TESTS to be in the combative forces.
Basically, the Baby Boomers have no reason to be proud, being born with silver spoon in hand.

And like normies shitting things up for everyone else.
the entire boomer generation is an anomaly caused by the complete destruction of almost every super power's industrial base. there's a reason america is getting worse and worse now, because those super powers that were wiped out in ww2 have been back in the game for 30-40 years now and have caught up with us. we got a 30 year head start but they fucked it all up because we shipped all the jobs that made america america to fucking china and third world shit holes. pretty much all we do now is financial fuckery and military equipment.
>>29674822
communism transformed a feudal backwater into an industrial powerhouse capable of withstanding the mechanized german war-machine, was the first nation to achieve space travel only a few decades later, all while raising living standards and bringing education and literacy to a population which had previously been known solely for its export in superstitions and turnips
>>29674892

Anon the only super powers during WWII that were wiped out were the National Socialists, Brown Shirts, and Imperial Japanese, and they're not around anymore.

>So we're going to pretend slave labor never happened
no we aren't, but penal labor in the soviet union was also not extensive enough to be the sole cause of its rapid industrialization.
do not pretend that state repression is a peculiar feature of communism - the major arms of state repression in russia were all inherited from the tsarist autocracy that they had overthrown. the KGB for example was based on the tsarist okhrana that had preceded it.
penal labor was used by most imperial powers at that time. it is still used in the united states today and is allowed by the the 13th amendment of the constitution.

>All this whitewashing and pointing fingers

>>29671838
That's true though.
Look where you are. People get neetbux so they don't need a job. This hurts the economy and makes jobs harder to get. Then, when most people get them they do dumb shit like waste money on junk food, and partying, instead of saving up and buying produce, which, might I add, is far more filling and cheaper than the junk that most people buy.
Baby Boomers are completely right and nobody wants to admit it.
Hey Punks
My name is John, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are fat, lazy, no-lifes who spend every second of their day not getting jobs. You are everything band in the world. Honestly, have any of you ever gotten a job? I mean, I guess it's fun being a leech on society because of your own laziness, but you all take it to a whole new level. This is even worse than jerking off to pictures on the face books.
Don't be a stranger. Just go up to the manager and shake his hand and he'll be sure to give you a job. That's what I did, and I had a comfortable job for over 30 years until I retired last May. What job do you have, other than "complaining about successful Boomers like me on the Internet"? Also, don't be jealous of my banging hot wife (She just blew me; Shit was SO cash). You are all just lazy punks who should just get a job. Thanks for listening.

there's no whitewashing here
is it untrue that penal labor did not account for the majority of laborers who contributed to russia's rapid industrialization in the first half of the 20th century?
is it not true that penal labor is employed in the united states today, both in the military and private prison system?
is it not true that penal labor is permitted under the 13th amendment to the US constitutions?
just because i don't share your hypocritical moralism doesn't mean i'm whitewashing anything.
>>29673072
I'd have a job if YOU WEREN'T FUCKING WORKING IT YOU FAT OLD FUCK
REEEEEE
Boomers didn't do anything about the civil rights movement, trade liberalization (NAFTA), or mass immigration, they just stood around as countries like Japan (and now Korea and China) took over key industries like electronics and automotive while having very favorable access to American markets and being protected by the US military (not China), I don't think they gave too much of a shit when the tech bubble and then the housing bubble blew up in the 2000s
Basically, they did nothing as opportunities for average, unexceptional people eroded. Any shithead could get a union job after high school in the 70s and 80s and do alright. Not everyone has the brains to be an engineer or a programmer, and even those are being squeezed in the middle by H-1Bs from India and China. My own company has two dozen programmers in Russia and Ukraine who we pay $12/hour and I interact with on a daily basis, there are bugs and misunderstandings, but the kind of work we do is simply not possible with 5-6 people, which is all we'd be able to afford if we could only hire in the West.
So yeah, I have no fucking sympathy. Through apathy and inaction, they brought this upon themselves. Their kids are feeling it, and they'll definitely be feeling it in old age when their kids can't support them. I still respect and care for my parents because we are immigrants who came here in 2000 and they had no say in Western politics (and still don't vote), but I have no feelings for the boomer generation of this country - just gotta get mine before you get yours.
>>29675193
> This hurts the economy and makes jobs harder to get
You can argue the first part, but NEETBux does not make jobs harder to get. If anything it makes it easier, as there are less people in the workforce looking for a job.
>Then, when most people get them they do dumb shit like waste money on junk food, and partying
There is literally nothing wrong with this, and in fact helps the economy. It helps keep the cash flowing and increases capital.
>Baby Boomers are completely right
No they aren't and they're fucking deluded for not realizing how much they've affected the economy and how well millenials interact with it.
>>29675206
shut the fuck up, dad.
>>29675450
>Slave labor happened BUT...
>Hey look the US has slavery too!
Ignoring the fact that you're wrong on the last part, yes. Yes you are whitewashing and pointing fingers. You try justifying Stalin being a tyrant by saying that other people have done similar things too, and with the pic you try downplaying slave labor. By the way the very fact you refer the slave labor as "penal labor" is white washing. It wasn't so much labor as "you don't do this at least begrudgingly and it's the salt mines for you." Hell at it's worst the fucking government had to end up actually PAYING PEOPLE to work because they didn't do diddly squat. It's almost as if when you redistribute wealth and try to give everyone equal wages you remove any motivation to work. Hmmmm.
>Hypocritical moralism

If a house, boat and car cost the same percentage of average income now as it did then, i could afford those things as well. Although buying a new car is a fool's deal, i don't want a boat. I would, however, like a house. A house in my area would cost between eight and ten years of my current gross annual income.

>the choice of the individual
>muh indivigilisms
the pressures that the society places on individuals is much more heavily to blame for large-scale trends in behavior than individual choice. Your philosophy literally depends entirely on tabula rasa being a thing, and tabula rasa is not a fucking thing. People are influenced by their culture, and we are the third generation to be raised in a culture of fashionable debt accumulation and rampant materialism. Capitalism is to blame for debt, not individual choice. It is only the rare and special individual who can recognize the ramifications of their decisions and resist being pulled by the tides of the times. Shove your "muh rational decisions" shit up your ass.

i.e. right now my current threat to job security is not automation or china. it's actually NAFTA and Mexico. If my americuck counterparts keep taking their work for granted we're going to get cucked by harder working mexicans that work for less.
A real big indicator of when my job is fucked is when the company decides to move production of a key product down to Mexico. However, they will move the lower margin products first before they get to the one thing that will just absolutely wreck everyones shit

Managers don't really have the authority to hire someone on the spot. It would be against corporate policy, or something.

...and those major arms shot more people in a week than the Ohkana had killed in a hundred years.
Your "ultrad rapid industrialization proves many good time success in war against nayzis" only looks impressive because
1. It was achieved by starving millions to death by selling off their grain before they got to eat it
2. The Nayzis were just INCREDIBLY fucking stupid about gearing up for war production. Soviyeet RUssSHA produced thousands of cheap, weak-ass tanks crewed by under educated youths and still got spanked for the majority of the war...
also: "Muh SPACE PROGRAM!" - Largely the result of technological espionage and the deportation of german rocket egineers
In short: Fuck off with your "obv i have proffed that communism can be economically successfulls". Marginally more than fedualaism perhaps.

And Ukrainian. Actually Ukrainian starvation deaths were the worst in terms of numbers. And Polish once Stalin and Hitler decided to fuck the shit out of Poland together.
All of those things cost more than ever now, even excluding all the newfangled taxes and regulations.
You cannot get a job that can even pay rent without at least a certificate from a tech school because wages haven't adjusted for the cost of living (yes, things objectively cost more now.)
Factory jobs mostly hire immigrants, and are more mechanized so less and less human workers are needed every year. Why would they hire you when they already have enough people, people who have worked there for years and are doing jobs they could probably do into their 70s?
>>29681617
Those degrees are fine as long as you are actually good at the field.
Most people going into a field like psychology are teenage girls that think they 'understand people' because they've 'had a hard life.' While in actuality they have no clue what the field entails.

>Most people going into a field like psychology are teenage girls that think they 'understand people' because they've 'had a hard life.' While in actuality they have no clue what the field entails.
Those are the ones who go for the Bachelor of arts in psychology. Meaning humanities instead of science. Meaning maybe then can get a job as a highschool counselor.
>>29684710
What's wrong with humanities?
>>29684681
There's a problem with jobs regarding "Decent wages" too. It is fairly commonplace to raise minimum wage without adjusting upper workers' pay.
So my dad who works at a dry dock as the guy who welds shit and all that jazz gets paid about $30. Minimum wage rises a smidge to barely attempt to adjust to inflation. Meanwhile he doesn't get a raise, like a lot of people in these middle-class worker positions. So effectively he is making the same amount of money while everyone else got a raise and the prices inflated. He's noticed it, he used to be able to buy a lot more for what he got even when he worked for less.
The problem is that whenever minimum wage rises, the cost of living rises in tandem and vice versa. They reflect off of each other while paying no heed to everyone else involved. Minimum wage hasn't increased in a ratio, it has increased flatly. The cost of living has increased at a higher rate. The wage of the "middle class, blue collar, etc." workforce has barely even budged, if at all.
>>29684879
To be fair, there isn't much incentive to increase wages when they're already being screwed by pointless regulations and taxes, instead of being rewarded for decreasing pollution and waste, increasing safety standards, etc.
The reward would be as simple as a tax break, but as far as I know no such thing exists as an actual reward for their spending, instead taxes are forced on and to escape them and possible legal action, government demands must be met.

On no less than 3 occassions I've walked into a place and been hired on the spot. No interview, just introductions and asking for the job.
I started at a place last week all of 3 hours after walking in for the first time, making 50 cents per hour more than my coworkers, only the manager makes more than me and it's a quarter difference.
Asked for a week off two days ago and got it, manager just called and asked me to come in in the morning for the same pay he makes, said sure.
Comfy work, unlimited smoke breaks, music all day, drawing and eating snacks, living the dream.
Get your ass some employment.
>>29685018
Okay gramps.
>>29685018
well anon, what job is that?
>>29685037
I'm 25, son.
I happen to be very likeable, anybody can do it. Just gotta be assertive with assholes and cool with everybody else and people quickly realize you've got your head on right.
You only have to be a little better than the next guy to be valuable to your employer. Doesn't even take extra work, I'm lazy as fuck, takes social finesse.
Get good.

There's more financial punishments for some cases sure, but the issue lies in that companies are able to write off most of them as an additional cost.
The punishments in place do not curb their behavior, since they are so negligible.

I applied for months and never got an entry level job, and I always keep my head level. You probably have references.

MurderSuicide. if im gonna ever suicide im gonna make sure to mass up a country club full of wealthy snotty greying chads and stacys.
>>29685117
Nah, no need.
What kind of job are you looking for?
I usually fill an application out after being hired, reference area stays empty.
>>29685141
I'm asked to fill out the application beforehand, and I tailor-make some resumes.
Most do not call back, and I've only ever gotten a stark few interviews. I used to visit every few days because I was forced to by my stepmother.

They write them off because they're only financially punished for trying to do the 'right thing' instead of being rewarded. They exist to make money, and when their personal views interfere with that they have to drop it or risk going bankrupt.
There are lots of small business owners that would love to pay their employees $40 an hour, but if they tried they'd probably go into debt because they're being financially drained elsewhere.
And the ones that don't aren't going to, period, so punishing them instead of rewarding them is pointless.
If they're being rewarded, they get justify increasing wages in order to write some profit off as an expense, while functionally putting money back into the company.
>>29671838
Well I am giving it my all, I'm 22,
I have a car since 18,
I have a crack shack.
I'm neck deep in debt.
Can't wait for someone to send a random shill to shank me.
>>29685207
It doesn't quite matter if it's punishment or reward because they're focused on profits. What does matter is that the reward/punishment makes a difference.
The problem is that the punishments in place are negligible. They would look at the rewards the same because if the reward was too negligible for the cost then they would defer to the more profitable decision. They don't care about the revenue/cost (reward/punishment), those are just part of the problem. They care about the end result.
It's why they avoid lawsuits like the plague, those costs outweigh the revenue which makes it unprofitable.

>>29685184
Well damn.
I have the advantage of living in a small town and having (as fucking weird as this is) a reputation for being good at what I do. I'm a depressingly in-demand cashier and I've been offered jobs just walking into places.
Didn't even know there was such a thing as a "sought after register jockey" but I essentially have a guaranteed fallback any time I get tired of a place.
I just walk into the place I want to work, introduce myself, tell them I start at no less than 8.50 and want the first management position available.
Never fails. Just buddy up to somebody, anybody, at a place you want to work. Make some smalltalk, ask if they're hiring, usually an employee's word is enough to get in the door.

Where do you work anyway, I live on the coast and I hear there's a world of difference the more dead-center of America one gets.

>>29671838
I have been living alone for two years
During those two years I had a single pan to cook
I treated the pan like shit, barely taking care to clean it before using it again
It got to the point that a steel pan looked like iron
I couldn't touch it because it was super sticky all the time
So I grabbed a metal sponge and detergent and I got in the shower
And after scrubbing for two hours I managed to make it usable again
It's not perfect but I couldn't go on cleaning without removing all the paint when removing oxides and burnt grease
I'm confident I turned trash into something I can use for two more years
Call me fucking lazy again
>>29685540
Our society isn't either. You spend too much time on the Internet.
>>29685550
You washed a pan.
>>29685550

>>29685562
I washed two years of burned grease build up in a pan you moron, I washed it so much that I removed a good chunk of the original paint it came coated in
I had to scrub for ten minutes hard until a bit of surface caved in and then 5 more minutes until I took a bit of grease and oxides away and repeat
Any same person would have thrower it away but I wanted to prove myself I can fix one of the mistakes I made in the past

Cleaning a pot doesn't mean you're not lazy
>>29685812
It wasn't cleaning it was restoring, when was the last time you did two hours of non stop phisycal labor? How did you spend your Saturday?
>>29685879
It's not labour cleaning a pot. You did dishes finally
>>29685812
Clearly you didn't read his posts.
The pan was really dirty, anon.
>>29685879
2 hours of physical labour is 1/4 of a regular work day.
>>29685725
Why did you even let it get that bad? More importantly, how did your food taste while it was greasy?
>>29685908
Because he was too lazy to wash it
>>29673327
Good. I hope every culture dies!
>>29685924
I just cleaned the top while the bottom got greasy and the next use cured the grease over and over again, it was a really gradual process that got worse with every use until I decided to do something. Nobody could have guessed it is a steel pan kek
>>29685963
Oh okay I thought you were like, cooking with the same grease over and over in the pan. That would've been a health hazard.
>>29673327

Guitarist here.
I'm very social and outgoing, attractive and just enjoy playing. You're pretty anally annihilated.
>>29685937
But he DID wash it, he said it at least twice. Have you ever cleaned a really bad pan? It's hell, you cut your hands up and smell like burnt food for hours.
Stop being a hater.
>>29686166
I hate cleaning really shitty dishes. I moved in with my stepmom and father; I spent weeks trying to combat her shitty habits of leaving chunks of food on dishes in the dishwasher. I scraped all those dishes with my bare hands because the brushes were so disgusting and ruined.
I keep dishes militantly clean now. I never want to see a bleached chunk of questionable food on my "clean" plates or glasses ever again.

>Any music instrument is cheaper than a smartphone
my smartphone was $20. my acoustic guitar was a $50 steal from a pawn shop and my electric guitar was $200.
And your parents were dead by your age. Whats your excuse?
>>29686859
This, plus it takes years of practice if you aren't experienced with an instrument. It's like drawing you can't just get good overnight. Dedication and the ability to enjoy it are the two key elements. If you don't have either of those you're dead in the water.
>>29671838
i'd tell them that they had life handed to them on a silver platter and had nowhere near the financial hardships as we face today.

i just got a cs degree and after about two weeks of applying to places i got a job. you're gonna make it.graduated summa cum laude tho
>>29686956
yeah i started playing guitar 10 years ago when i was a 13 year old with all the free time in the world to dedicate to it and could spend 6 hours a day playing guitar and researching techniques. i couldnt be as passionate about learning it now if i wanted to.
