Privilege.... Lol. My wife and I worked fucking hard. Always had multiple jobs, saved and saved. Worked all the overtime. Lost half of everything in the 90s. Recovered and lost a third again in 08. Definately not privileged.

...if thats true why are you being a dick to people doing the same thing, who are now not getting paid OT (oh sorry youre a gig worker and you have to hit 40 hrs a week and sorry you somehow worked 39 hrs in one day and maybe someday we will make you part-time with no benefits) and not getting raises (what was your staring salary again?) and have to deal with with the fucked housing market.

Please dont try defend the housing market.

Dude pick a lane. It okay to admit that the world is worse. We want to try and make it better. Thats like the whole point of being human. Making it slightly better for everyone than it was before. Why is that bad?

Or are you shill bot for billionaires?

And yea you sound sound suuuuper privileged to me. Like look up privilege on Wikipedia and its your goddamned face looking back on the first image privileged.

Glad you retired. Good luck and gave fun. Please dont vote in US elections. You won! Congrats! You dont have to weigh in on future matters! You can coast forever and never worry!

I never said it wasn't worse. My initial complaint was the quality of workers showing up in the workforce now that don't want to work. My experience isn't with the bottom rung.

For sure the bottom rung is getting screwed which is why they need strong unions again. Look at the rest of the world. Raises should always be increasing above inflation and if not then it's time to organize.

I mean you could never survive on minimum wage but it's much worse now.
