These are utterly retarded arguments.
Wow, the cost of literally every other piece of technology has decreased significantly over the last 20 years. I have in my pocket a computer with comparable processing power to my entire college university's computer labs back in the '90s, and it cost a tiny fraction of what I spent on the 486 that I purchased around '91. TVs are bigger, lighter, and higher resolution. I can't think of a single piece of technology that has gotten more expensive in that time.
But somehow cars are an argument that life has magically gotten more expensive since the '60s.
You clearly know nothing about modern construction. Codes are better, arguably, but craftsmanship is awful. Materials as well. I won't bother regale you with examples of how much better a house that was built in '62 is than most of the McMansions that get slapped together today because you probably wouldn't appreciate them, and would find some completely irrelevant way to blame it on women.
We get it, you don't want to have to take care of women. Your argument is still fucking idiotic. Instead you get to compete with them, and they can afford to undercut you because they have so many benefits that are unavailable to you.
Just stick to complaining about bad laws that favor women. That's actually reasonable. Every other thing you say and all your dumb complaints about whatever the fuck your made up "ConPro" label means just comes across as insane ranting.
You're both right.
Having women in the workforce artificially deflates wages by keeping productivity down because of things like diversity hiring, lawfare, maternity leave, and other things nobody had to worry about back then. It doubled the amount of workers, but it lowered the average quality significantly, so now everyone has to suffer. Women can be fine workers, but we coddle them like children to the point where it rewards the bad ones and punishes the good ones.
However, cars and houses are objectively more complex than expensive than they used to be. Back in the 60s, a car was basically an engine inside a block of steel propped up on wheels. It might have had AC, if you were fancy, but that's about it. 90% of cars were abject horseshit. And as for houses, HVAC was exceedingly rare during the 60s except in the south, where it was still the exception rather than the rule. Wiring was also a joke, consisting of fabric-covered aluminum with no grounding wire, and they probably had fuses rather than breakers.
The only things that have actually gotten worse in home construction is that they so often go for plywood instead of hardwood floors, and the fact that they use siding instead of brick. Everything else is way, way better.
Regarding the houses, I worked in the construction industry for half a decade during Bush II. I am also a fifth generation timber man. Wood sold today is shit... and the guys putting the wood into houses have somehow gotten dumber.
Consume Product, ConPro, is a community on this platform full of people that are exactly like him, but replace women with Jews.
They're so alike that they hate each other.
Because they've added far more things to them. It's not like they put a computer in during 1994 and then decided "Well shit, that's the best we'll ever make."
Every generation of cars has innumerable improvements over the last. The price of the technology doesn't fall because they're constantly keeping it modern, spending large amounts of money on R&D.
"modern things are bad" is such an edgelord take.
It's not competing when the game is rigged. That's what needs to change. They'd filter down to being Bezos drones in a matter of weeks if that wasn't the case.
ConPro is another community here. Full of shills and should have been banned months ago.
