Hey looks like i got one point!

Not with that attitude you ain’t

This story got darker by the end:

Planet Hollywood in the Tom Bradley Terminal is set to permanently close on Saturday, leaving Ortiz unemployed.

Zero (born in '66). Can we add some more to the list?

21: had to wait for the television to warm up

Well played

You do you, it’s the only true ay to be happy. You’ll attract women that were raised in a family where the wife took on a more dominant role and the father was a chill laid back guy. In my experience it’s inevitable, we’re made up of our parents DNA.

Do people on Lemmy think that there was a time when one could afford a house on fast food worker wages?

Those were the days

If I knew how I’d already have a cult of my own. I hear being charismatic is a prerequisite

Start a cult

When you think about it we’re kinda like worms. Stuff goes in the front end and shit goes out the back end. Day in and day out

I’m curious, have your interactions with Americans been with those that have traveled to Europe? The reason I ask is because I was able to visit years ago and wondered if maybe European’s view of Americans is skewed because they mostly see those of us that come from well off backgrounds (upper income). I met young Americans that had been there multiple times because their parents paid their way while they were on summer break from school. In contrast, I was the exact opposite. You’re not likely to see many low income folks visiting so you may have a skewed viewpoint.

This has to be a put on. All of the deal making gets done beforehand. Two leaders sitting down and making a deal on video is symbolic, all of the groundwork is long done before it gets to this point. Trump and company are putting on a show for the camera

It’s more advantageous to seek a new job while still employed. New employer will have to at least match what you get at your current job to lure you away. A friend who does hiring for his company told me he avoids hiring anyone who’s been out of work for six months. That’s how long unemployment benefits last in our state. He reasoned someone who milks it for every penny before looking for a new job is lazy

Two things your graph doesn’t show you. Interest rates when I left high school were double what they are now. Also the unemployment rate was more than double what it is now.

A minimun wage construction job? Someone is lying to you. Dad was probably working the glory hole at kwik-e-mart. No bank is going to give a house loan to someone making minimum wage.

A “measly construction job” is a good paying one. A person working at a McDonald’s for 40 hours a week at that time would not be able to afford an apartment let alone a house. When your aunt bought her house interest rates were in the teens, today they are 7% and that’s a record high. My parents bought a house in 1976 for $28,000 dad worked full time at a city job plus always had a second job or side hustle. Our family would strip copper to make ends meet. Mom cooked every meal, eating out was a rare treat. Never once did we even order pizza, Mom make it with powder dough. We didn’t have cable. Got by on two junker cars sometimes one.

Every generation has it’s challenges. This is the first to have a public circle jerk/pity party
