Speaking of, I was picking up some Chinese food last night and there was some half-Guacamolean Uber Eats girl waiting in front of me, so I asked her how many orders she picks up every day, but because she didn't understand English very well she thought I was asking how much money she makes, and she told me $180-$220 depending on the day, with Saturday being the highest. I'm just gonna go out on a limb and assume she's not working more than eight hours a day, because nobody who is younger than 35 works more than eight hours a day, these days. When you've got food delivery drivers making more than $20 an hour, then six figures is the new baseline for having any semblance of a decent life.
The communists in charge have really done a number on our economy, so that they can flatten the curve. They've mostly destroyed the livelihoods of everybody who worked hard for decades in order to get to where they are now. I traded my expensive car for a cheap car last fall, and I hate my new car so I was thinking about going back to buy a new version of my old car. Despite my income level, I cannot convince myself that it's OK to upgrade, because everything else is so expensive that we are constantly spending a super majority of our income every month, whereas, 2 years ago, we had the kind of savings rate that makes you consider buying a second house. Good thing we didn't. I also think it's foolish to assume that they are even close to done. They've just begun.
I know I've mentioned to you previously about how we bought a house despite my misgivings on the market conditions; from purely investment perspective, I don't have regrets about it, because, if the price goes down, we can sell it and buy something else for just as cheap, so it's always just kind of a wash. But from an operating expense standpoint, it's terrifying having any kind of mortgage at all, let alone one that feels expensive.
It's at the forefront of everyone's mind nonetheless, I'm sure.
It's kind of taboo to talk about the present and/or future failings of the fed system and it's impending likely definite collapse. Maybe the messiah will save our economy? I may believe he is The Chosen One (or whatever) if he can pull that one off. 😂🤣
I believe it. I'd also like to see that same data for every generation. I'd assume it's gone up since the dawn of social media and reality television. Still would like to see though.
Conversely, participation in the christcult is plummeting generationally as Gen z and below has access to information, the true enemy of the church. I view that as a net positive.
Well, TV is the enemy of the church and mankind in general so I guess we could sort of agree on that at least. At least with the church a fair amount of the population would give some headspace to bigger questions than what flavour of bullshit to consume next.

Funny thing is that she might have questioned her own choices.
Exactly, man.

Reality will set in
I do not embellish the idea that they're fucked
Who can we blame but ourselves?
We should have massacred all republicans and democrat party leaders and publicly impaled the bankers and taken our country back.
One may compare and integrate that with this information:
Americans Have Lost Faith In Their Ability To Move From Poverty To Riches — More than two-thirds said it's no longer commonplace for hard work to be a path from poverty to wealth, according to a new World Economic Forum poll. (1/23/2019)
The baseline answer is that all these polls are made up and we're just being psychologically manipulated.
I would settle for just owning my own house and land. Even that is a lot of work.
they'll be rich in "experiences"

Did they say "rich" or "millionaires"? Because the way things are going, we may all be millionaires in a few years.
