This is my problem with this whole debate. Yes I acknowledge that young people face serious challenges starting out in the workforce. Yes I agree that we are importing foreigners to take American jobs and that is hideously evil and unfair.
Once we’ve agreed on that, what then? What is a young adult supposed to actually do tomorrow? What is your plan? Complaining about it incessantly on Twitter is not a plan. Calling for policy solutions is fine and I agree that we should work on those. But what about tomorrow? What is the demoralized young person supposed to actually do in his life tomorrow?
I say that he must get up in spite of it all, get the best job he possibly can, and work as hard he can to achieve what he can. He has a difficult road. Far from the most difficult compared to the vast majority of humans who have ever lived on Earth, but difficult. I acknowledge that. But he still has to get up and walk. What else would we have him do?
Listen Matt, this is very simple. You don't need to tell young white men to get up and walk. People learn how to do that by age 2. You need to start fighting to abolish the H-1B visa program.
Yes, you're one of the few Con Inc influencers who says H-1Bs should be stopped. But strangely enough, you spend your time defending the ones who think it's amazing? Why?
Get to work ending the H-1B, or shut up.
That's just plenty of people's baseline lives already.
I see alot of young people (people my age) driving brand new cars while having no money and complaining they can't save.
Yup. There are definitely a shit ton of retards, no argument here.
Exactly what I see too. I've worked in multiple industries, blue and white collar. White collar people my age finance nice cars, houses way bigger than they need (even after accounting for the outrageous prices), buy overpriced coffee, and buy expensive liquor that tastes 5 percent better than the cheap stuff, all while paying the minimum balance on their student loans. The blue collar guys I worked with would drive to the gas station in the morning to get a pack or two of cigarettes and an energy drink (or two). The few that were married would have packed lunch, but the single ones would eat out every day. Then after work they'd buy enough beer for the night and maybe pick up some dinner and some Marijuana. I did the math on most of them and they averaged out to about 300 a month on beer, 300 a month on nicotine, and 300 bucks on Marijuana. I absolutely get why they feel the need for those things to cope, but 900 bucks a month at the time was a mortgage. Now it's half of one in most cases.
All of that was to say most people should budget their money and they will be horrified at how much money they are casually spending on temporary distractions.
I saved enough money to buy a house in one year because I don't spend on anything unless I'm saving money and i buy food in bulk. My car is old and reliable and I don't take vacations often nor drink. I agree with him that you can pull yourself up because I went from poverty to middle class but the problem with what he's saying is that the government literally tries to disadvantage us
If you've never lived in a "migrant" neighborhood, there will be a good dozen people living in a 3br/2ba house. They will illegally convert (and I use the term loosely, because it's just a bunch of bunk-beds in a normal garage) the garage to a bedroom to fit all the people living there. And they will have like 5 cars parked in both the driveway (the garage is a "bedroom", so they can't park cars there) or the street all the time, making it difficult for you to entertain more than a few guests at a time without them having to park far away from your home due to all the street parking.
I'll always remember something the CEO of one of the companies I used to work for said: "you never want to be forced to compete on price". And that is why: because you can always find someone willing to live in greater squalor to accept slightly less than you to outbid you.
I lived very much as you did in my early 20s when I saved for my first house. Never did I want to live with 11 other people to do so, nor did I think it was reasonable I be expected to.
Then they should eventually be doing well for themselves if they aren't already. The way I see it, we reasonably have two options: bitch about how bad everything is and vote for people that might fix the problem, but probably won't OR we can do whatever we can to ensure the survival of our families and vote for people that might fix the problem, but probably won't. If you have another option, let me hear it
Can't we bitch about how bad everything is while doing whatever we can to ensure the survival of our families?
Well that's basically what I do, so I suppose...yes lol
There's alot of people dooming on this very post. I just watched Walshs speech on the issue and his long form explanation is far more agreeable considering how many people on this post are actually advocating giving up
OP is a faggot, and this board is slowly dying from crypto-leftist shills that outnumber legitimate users these days.
I refuse to acknowledge any of these blackpilling fags as actual men - the OP is deliberately missing the point to whine like a BITCH.
