In the 80's and 90's Al Bundy and Homer Simpson were considered loosers. They had a stay at home wife, multiple kids, owned a house and a car, on a single salary.
"Nothing. Nothing is wrong with the economy. Line Go Up. Stop complaining. Stop whining. Stop quiet quitting. Just make money harder. Stop noticing things.
I’m a boomer who can actually see what’s going on, unlike some of my peers. My parents grew up during the Great Depression/WW2 era, both were too young to join up by the end of hostilities. My Dad never finished high school and bought a house with the equivalent of one year’s salary punching a time clock in a factory. Although it was on a 25 year mortgage, it was paid out in 15. On one income, he raised my four brothers and myself while my mother was a stay-at-home who baked awesome cookies for us when we came home from school. When I was a teenager, my parents bought a cottage and boat for us to spend the summers at. Basically, it was a pretty decent middle-class lifestyle.
I have a decently respectable job as an electrician. 50 years ago, hell even 20 years ago, I would be somewhat well-off, at least middle class. Not now. I'm sick of being a poor wage slave with no savings or hope of affording a house or a family here in the prime of my life when I should be making progress on those goals. I'm tired of being alone in my tiny little overpriced apartment in the city. I yearn to run a small sustainable farm on a modest piece of property and raise a family, as if this is some lofty goal and not the default predicament of a medieval peasant. I'm hopeful for a collapse if only to see some spark of real change, of a society being forced to finally confront the real ugly problems it has been sweeping under the rug for a century. I'm tired of being stuck in wage-slave purgatory yet I fear the grotesque horrors the collapse will inevitably bring. I pray that God will grant us strength, courage, patience, and perserverance through the tough times ahead staring us straight in the face. Boys, unfortunately the time has come to face the suffering the world has prepared for us in order to become strong men and lead the world to greatness once again. I have faith in those still reading this comment. Lord have mercy.
My bad guys i just found 55 trillion dollars of lost wages under my pillow the economy should get better soon
1984 is the single most terrifying book I ever read. Not because of its brutality, or authoritarianism, or hopelessness, but because Orwell knew something about humans that almost nobody else seems to...
I was a team leader for a top tech company you certainly know. Literally every day we had some DIE (diversity inclusion equity) related company news, blog post, mail, office campaign, event and so on. We had to do trainings every year to prove we love women, people of color, and alphabetsoup people. Just our money and time wasted on DIE definitely decreased our efficiency by 10%.
Economists are not billionaires for the same reason that psychics don't win the lottery.
Well inflation doesn’t happen because the public is living too well. It happens because the government is living too well.
It's a bizarre thing. In the same newscast, the news anchor tells me how awesome the economy is doing, then a few minutes later tells me about the homeless encampments. Someone is GASLIGHTING me, and I don't think people are living in tents on the sidewalk in an attempt to trick me into thinking the economy is bad.
I no longer believe hard work pays off.
Our economy is afflicted by uncertainty, housing troubles, foreclosures, global shifts, and the aftermath of the epidemic, all of which contribute to instability. To restore stability and drive growth, all sectors must urgently address rising inflation, slowing GDP, and trade disruptions.
Apparently the economy is fine if you make over a couple hundred K and have owned your home and land for a decade. Those are the people who keep telling me there’s nothing wrong with the economy

I had a huge tech project once where for successful completion we should have gotten 12 engineers or so.
"When you look at the numbers, everything is fine"
I'll always remember my dad mentioning to me that when he was in elementary school (late 60s) the school janitor owned a home with a yard and his wife stayed home with the their four kids. I can barely afford my studio apartment and dog vet bills in Utah making 70k as a business manager
I was born in late 1960 and can confirm that single earner families were the norm during my childhood. Most Moms were housewives.
One of the biggest questions we should all be asking is this. Who are we paying the interest on our national debt to?
