Is this generation's middle class just living day by day?

Most of middle class are too broke to afford kids or a house. Make just enough to pay living expenses and thats it.

Meanwhile Poor people are having tons of kids every hour, free housing, free food, etc.

Yes, "minorities" tend to have tons of kids without any consequence or standard. Especially the hispanic population as they decide to forego responsibility, have tons of kids and make us foot the bill. If you claim this is racist, we can start posting stats in this thread as well.

Sounds like you don't now much about being poor. Recently had to help my mother in law get into low income housing. The wait was over a year and the paperwork to prove she was actually poor was unreal. This is in one of the most liberal states in the country.

Yeah, because they needed to make room to give all the somalis and other low IQ 3rdworlders the prime free housing first, and your american mom only gets the scraps left over, after the dems scam and steal all the money, give all her benefits away to the invaders first...

Because your mother in law is a US citizen I'm guessing. It's the ones crossing the border provided free housing and amenities.

Pretty much, man.

I shared this before but I have a female cousin who has been unemployed since like 2019. She has three kids with different baby daddies, her most recent being a methhead roofer with missing teeth. She collects welfare, gets food stamps and free housing from the government, all while extending her bloodline and gives no fucks. There are many such cases.

Meanwhile I’ve worked full time since I turned 18. I live a moral and honorable life, yet have never been able to save more than a few thousand dollars at a time because I was born into a poor family and had to care for myself. I’ll likely never be able to afford kids, or to buy a home, or achieve much of anything besides living paycheck to paycheck as a wage slave, I have just under $40k in a 401(k) that hopefully will grow enough to cover retirement in another 36 years, but until then life will be a meaningless void.

Pieces of shit, leeches on society, they get rewarded while regular people, even those earning far more than I do, are punished by the system.

I wish it didn’t have to be this way.

If a Mexican is the reason you're poor, you weren't gonna make it to begin with.

People need to hold themselves accountable, everyone wants to blame someone else for their own fuckups.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

I think the next major political ideology will be the democrat ideology of the early 1900s. Focused on worker's rights vs. exploitative jobs. Maybe some 5-10 years down the road.

Right now it's still in the Trump phase

This is retarded as fuck.


I already posted the basic ass graph above.


What the fuck do you think happens to wages, when you FLOOD a country with tens of millions of low skill, poor, workers from 3rd world shitholes?

You think magically wages will rise by flooding the market with workers who will work for pennies?

Wages for what? Are these refugees really undercutting you at your stem job? Fuck, even McDonald's is paying $50k a year, and their turnover is high as fuck.

Let me reiterate, if you're competing with a Mexican who doesn't even speak English for a job, you've already failed.

We know for a fact the jeeters are falsifying, paying for fake degrees, lying cheating, any form of scamming a job away from an american, can and IS done.

H1B needs to be abolished.


All these 3rd world leeches need to be evicted, "legal" or border crossers (which many indians ARE)


And pretending like Indians don't immediately fire all Americans once they get hiring power, and fill all the positions with fellow H1B Jeters, only makes YOU look uninformed and/or retarded. Unless you're purposely playing dumb...

You better not be....

Income is only part of the equation but you're far too stupid to put it all together on your own so let me help you.

Let's focus on 1 thing to not overwhelm you: Housing

If you have 10 people looking for a house vs. 100 people looking for a house the price of the house with 10 people looking will be lower as a basic principle of supply and demand. The flip of this is more houses will also be built to increase supply. This is true, but the supply isn't outpacing the demand before thats your next argument

Now flood the country with millions of you stinky minorities and what do you think happens? The price goes up on things.

Remember I just picked 1 item to focus this example on. But the demand surges across many goods and services with you stinky minorities flooding our country.


At this point, let's revisit your income comment. You make 100k without millions of nasty immigrants infiltrating America and your purchasing power is much better than making 100k after you flood it with all of them everywhere.

Prices aren't going to go down because you add more people here, it'll go up for things. And income isn't going to go up just because more people are here, if anything more needing work will create a decrease in income.


You don't understand basic economics very well, do you? Just one of the many things you think you know about but in reality are some dumb uneducated fuck wit talking out of his ass saying buzzwords like accountability.
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

This is a problem, yes. But we get Indian applicants all the time, and it takes 2-3 minutes via phone to see that they're BSing their expertise and experience. H1B needs to be done away with, but who is pushing for more H1Bs? Whites. Elon Musk has historically been white. And he wants more Indians specifically. It's almost like your own race is undermining you.

The lowering of wages started with the trades and will probably progress into the higher wage, higher skilled professions

Ultimately though it's all based on competition which can still be fun/satisfying even if someone doesn't make a lot

So here's the fundamental difference between you and me. You love calling me retarded or dumb or low IQ. You love saying I don't understand things while you do. I own multiple businesses and rental properties, do you? Who knows more about these things? Someone who can write an essay like you, or someone who actually owns multiple homes, runs businesses, etc, like me?

You don't have to explain anything to me to excuse your lack of success. There's no need.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.
