One of my professors in college literally showed up in the big city with a bag on his back and walked into a random factory to ask for a job, got one assembling bird cages and sleeping on the lot for a few months. After two decades of working moving around the chain, he was "qualified" in dozens of engineering disciplines and was able to just walk into a high paying college job teaching metal working until he retired.
He would tell us this story with the same tone as this tweet, to tell us that something he walked into as a teen now required a degree in a hard and competitive field, which meant not only a huge debt but losing most of your 20s trying to keep up with the difficulty of the degree that left minimal time to socialize or work on the side. And that's hoping you got the job instead of a random Indian who took an online class in his fake country.
The US used to be the biggest industrial center in the world. After Nixon dropped the gold standard they sold off that massive infrastructure to the 3rd world, and now the US is a fake and gay "service economy" which looks good on paper, but its only purpose is to act as a parasite and siphon away any last value that exists.
The "service economy" is basically a giant welfare project from the US government that is only maintained because the US has the strongest navy in the world and can borrow indefinitely because the dollar is the reserve currency. About 60% of our workforce is either directly or indirectly dependent on government spending for employment. Healthcare is either the top or one of the top sectors.
The dollar was already fucked from way before that. Taking off the gold standard had been done de facto when they seized everyone's gold in the 1930s under FDR.
This applies in so many different aspects too, most big businesses would've never gotten off the ground if they had to put up with the regulation, taxes and red tape they deal with now. I've had to stop reading about how companies began because I kept running into details that'd tick me off. The last one was how Games Workshop by all rights should've gone bankrupt during the video game crash but apparently back then you just needed persistence and gumption to recoup your worthless stock. I'd love to see some broke comic shop try to do the same to them these days.
Naturally the people who benefited from this were the first to install safeguards and a handy shield of morality to the barriers they put up.
Yep. It took out millions of "well off men" out of the dating pool since those well off men have to compete with women and outsiders/illegals for those jobs.
When I was younger my parents would frequently comment on how much I worked and ask why I worked that hard, and I'd usually reply something like "because that's what I need to do".
Maybe they had a point and I didn't need to work quite as hard as I did, but it was also true that working the 8 hour days my dad did wasn't going to cut it. I didn't think about it at the time, but in retrospect it was a sign that I was coming up in a different world than they did.
One important thing to remember is that every single major city has residential real estate that's cheap and in desirable locations right now, but the houses are in no-go zones for white people.
Amazing what doubling the supply while maintaining the same demand does for the overall pricing structure. And then, once it's already on deep discount, flooding the market with substitute products that aren't quite as good, but they're much cheaper.
I know a woman who does it. She has 4 kids and has never worked a day in her life. She's never had a driver's license either. Her BF had a high school education.
There's a trick here though... you need a woman who doesn't want for much. That's nearly impossible today.
My parents cooked every meal, we had KD more times than I can count. If we had meat it was almost always pork or chicken thighs, never chicken breasts or steak. We dad also had at one point 2 jobs, not just 1 and he worked 16 hour days. We never traveled by plane once as a family.
No one actually wants to make the sacrifices needed to raise kids like this. We want our comforts... but children and living can be dirt cheap if you're willing to live dirt cheap.
I mean theoretically possibly, it just doesn't happen because of human nature. But I do see your point. If it doesn't happen even if possible that means it's not possible. It's a fair argument. But I made my point to point out that women's expectations are ultimately the problem.
Something I never see talked about much these days is how those 1 income households lived. No cell phones, no internet, most of them no cable TV, one TV in the house, most had no game consoles, living in a 1400 square food house with 2 bedrooms and one bath room, kids shared a room and slept on bunkbeds. Phone was a land line. Home cooked meals cooked from scratch were the norm, eating out was a treat done maybe once a week.
If you live like that, now, in the midwest, it is certainly possible to live as a one income family.
My childhood was this way, in SoCal. One income all the way though high school, mom stayed home to cook, clean, raise the kids.
It isn't possible to do it anymore on the coasts, though, cost of living (primarily housing) is just waaay to high.
Something I never see talked about much these days is how those 1 income households lived. No cell phones, no internet,
And that means no employment now days so not an option.
most of them no cable TV
No need to if you just pirate.
one TV in the house
Retarded when they're so affordable, people will literally give you one if you ask around and are on even moderately good terms. They have been around for so long and become so ubiquitous that the used market is flooded with the things.
most had no game console
Again retarded to live like that when you can get a system that runs almost every game worth a damn for $250.
living in a 1400 square food house with 2 bedrooms and one bath room
Now that's the main problem. Housing like that is either in some unaffordable bughive, or some dangerous shithole. Affordable white neighborhoods no longer are a thing.
Phone was a land line.
Doesn't matter, employers don't want landline only connection so no reason to have it.
Home cooked meals cooked from scratch were the norm, eating out was a treat done maybe once a week.
You call it a treat and then say maybe once every week. I guess once a week isn't too unreasonable if you're referring to the father wanting the occasional warm meal for lunch but to me that seems pretty frequent to eat out.
If you live like that, now, in the midwest, it is certainly possible to live as a one income family.
The way you present it is really a horrible way of living in the modern day, it denies basic comforts and convenience more out of principal rather than to save money, so many conveniences and luxuries you can get for less than the price of a tank of gas.
What I'm trying to get across is that you cannot project modern society back in time and have a valid comparison, because the times were different. Back when 1 income families were the norm, that family simply had fewer bills, and to live today as a one income family that means you have to leave the coasts, and most major cities, and live more like that one income family did 40 years ago.
I've seen this said before elsewhere like it's an own.
I've been in those houses. I like those houses. If you presented me with that house, with what it was paid for at the time of it's construction, my response would be 'Hell the fuck yeah, let's fucking go'. My goal is to build a house like that, actually - arguably smaller, likely.
Problem: You can't GET houses like this anymore. Trailer houses are a fucking scam, 'tiny homes' are even WORSE, and if you want anything 'cheap' you have to jump through so many goddamn hoops for a house that's actually WORSE than those houses, and they need to be built in areas with very lax zoning restrictions, meaning you're probably looking at an hour commute to any functioning job to pay for said house.
Boomers try to argue that 'Well, you're just lazy and not working hard enough', but anyone who starts digging into the issue to work out a solution quickly comes to the realization that, no, everything has gone to shit and things really were better back then.
My first house was one of those ~1200 sq. ft houses built in massive quantities in the 1960s as Boomer starter homes. It was barely affordable to me as a young engineer when I bought it in the late '00s after the bubble burst. Now it's worth about triple what I paid for it and would have been completely out of reach if I were starting all over today.
I think about that whenever someone tries to tell me "well houses are bigger now than they were in the 60s". That's true, but that doesn't explain why a house literally built in the 60s costs as much as it does.
New tract homes, built by a builder? No. Built yourself, semi-custom, on land you own? Yep. Bought from existing homes from the plentiful supply of such houses in the midwest?
Definitely.
If you can find work in such places (important caveat, I know), you should go there.
However, when you start digging down into what you have to do to get there, you start running into roadblocks. Put aside zoning restrictions and building requirements(again, dependent on where you're located at) - have you tried buying land as of late? Undeveloped land? With nothing on it?
That entire experience was eye-opening for me, and yet another example of 'Oh, THIS is why we're fucked.'
You don’t understand, dude….the society being described above did not require a degree, or constantly working overtime, nor did it require a family to be extremely frugal with their spending to live a decent life. Most of us lived a great life back in the 80’s and 90’s compared to nowadays, even with multiple kids in a single income household, and our parents weren’t constantly concerned about not being able to cover all of the regular bills if ANY unexpected bill popped up, like the family car breaking down or whatever. Quality of life was a billion times better, decent manufacturing jobs were everywhere that didn’t require a degree or require getting through an anti-White HR department, all of our neighborhoods were pretty much 100% White with no real crime beyond domestic abuse, and everyone knew each other on the block where your house was.
And you were working 8 hour shifts, 5 days a week at the manufacturing job? No, you were working OT (which is why you didn't need a second job).
I think you're overly romanticizing things. Some people lived as you describe but a lot didn't. A lot of people were struggling to make it. My father would tell me stories of how his family starved many nights because there wasn't enough food on the table. He wasn't just telling stories to scare kids, this was his real life situation. His father was an alcoholic, who'd be gone for weeks then beat his wife when he'd come home. A classic story for the times too.
Both my boomer parents had a high-school education and both worked. I was an only child. We got by but when I graduated university 15 years ago, I had a better Quality of Life with my first job out of university than the whole time my parents were together. I remember my dad buying a truck and nearly crying when he had to return it and beg for the dealership to take it back because he couldn't afford it. I bought a BMW M3 as my first vehicle.
The situation nowadays is not great because of the housing and immigration situation along with globalization. Especially for White men because of the recent DEI stuff in the last year. The DEI stuff hurt me considerably and my income is likely 50% less than it ought to be because of it.
Still, people are vastly romanticizing the past. Kids are still possible on high-school educations if you are willing to sacrifice some of the comforts many people today have grown accustomed to but no one wants to and I don't blame them for that. I wouldn't want to give up my lifestyle for kids but it can be done if people truly wanted to. Yes, the housing situation is not the same. That's one thing that I will for sure 100% give you but you can still make things work. If you're willing to move to a cheap area of the country, work a very mediocre job (that only needs high-school), rent a rundown old house and have kids with a wife who doesn't work, you can do it. It can be done and I know a woman who is currently doing exactly that. Many low-class families do exactly this.
A lot of people were struggling to make it. My father would tell me stories of how his family starved many nights because there wasn't enough food on the table. He wasn't just telling stories to scare kids, this was his real life situation. His father was an alcoholic, who'd be gone for weeks then beat his wife when he'd come home. A classic story for the times too.
So his family was starving because his alcoholic father spent the food money on booze? How exactly does that refute his statement? By your own admission your granddaddy's family was struggling because he was a bum, not because the time period was hard.
I bought a BMW M3 as my first vehicle.
You bought an $80,000 BMW as your first car? What are you, Alec Baldwin from Glengarry Glen Ross?
I was a kid, I didn’t work. My father was a CNC machinist for decades without having a college degree. He generally only worked 40hrs a week, he got bonuses, GE (his employer throughout my childhood) would hold family parties for their workersc that company was gear backing the day….my pops only worked OT on occasion when he wanted a little extra spending cash for Christmas or whatever, but he was home fairly early on most work days, and he never missed my football games on the weekends.
She recently broke her cell phone and couldn't afford to buy anything more than a $100 used phone for a replacement. Like, absolutely could not afford anything else. She's raising 4 kids though and doesn't work.
It can be done... But you just can't live the way most people want to live. I wouldn't want to live that way to raise kids either.
You know why this ended? It wasn't because of immigration, which has really only been small until recently. Plus the boomers had a population increase that didn't lead to such problems of employment.
It's because of technology. Technology took all the manufacturing jobs and the rest moved to China because they also got technology for factories and transport technology meant we could be imported real cheap. Agriculture jobs had already disappeared earlier because of technology. So what's left are mostly paper shuffling and management jobs, but computers got rid of many of the former. The ones that are left are not enough for the population, so you have to fight over even the entry level positions. It's only going to get worse with AI and robots taking up all the rest of the jobs.
The jobs should have at least paid more as they decreased in number, but this was offset by the country making less stuff and instead spending all its efforts shuffling papers that doesn't produce anything. It's like a car engine that spends 90% of the fuel trying to make the remaining 10% of the fuel use marginally more efficient. In the end it uses way more fuel.
The luddites were obviously right in seeing that technology was going to take their jobs - they only get ridiculed because they were rather powerless to do anything about it. That wouldn't have been the case if the rest of society supported them.
Boomers are 61 to 79 now. Boomers leaving the workforce in the 21st century caused the lack of jobs in the 21st century?
The same technology that caused the creation of endless jobs; of course, of course.
Citation needed.
Then why has everything they’ve ever said been wrong?
The luddites weren't wrong, they did lose their skilled jobs and had to get low skilled jobs paying much less instead and their children had to work in dangerous factories for barely a penny. That's exactly what they saw was going to happen and exactly what happened.
They get ridiculed because for 150 years, everything they’ve ever said was a lie, since technology created more jobs than it replaced.
Again, citation needed. This is obviously not the case if you consider simple examples. It would take forever to harvest a field of wheat with your bare hands, but using a scythe makes it several times faster. But making a usable scythe doesn't take a lot of work - do it once and you don't have to do it again for several years. Scythe production factories make them with even less time per scythe, meaning less employment per scythe.
The only things you got right were the Federal reserve making the economy worse and women entering the workforce reducing jobs. But women have been in the workforce for a long time now so that can't be the main reason jobs are running out.
Almost everything you said is the opposite of reality.
Irony.
Here's the first result when I search "us immigration chart", which proves my point:
Thanks for admitting your point was wrong. 15% is not small. You’re simply brainwashed into thinking this is okay.
Boomers leaving the workforce in the 21st century caused the lack of jobs in the 21st century?
Strawman somewhere else. You’re not worth my time.
Citation needed.
The entirety of the Industrial Revolution, you subhuman piece of shit. We had fewer than 2 billion people before it started and 8 billion now. Technology sure didn’t create any jobs, right? All six billion of them are simply unemployed forever, yeah? Fuck off, dumbass. Critical thinking is required to be considered human. It takes five seconds to make these connections.
The luddites weren't wrong
I guess you live in a parallel universe.
they did lose their skilled jobs and had to get low skilled jobs
Sounds like a personal problem. Everyone else just learned a new trade.
their children had to work in dangerous factories
“Had to;” uh huh.
Again, citation needed.
The last 150 years of human history, dipshit.
less employment per scythe.
And yet… everyone still has jobs. Almost as if your “argument” is puerile nonsense.
The only things you got right were the Federal reserve making the economy worse and women entering the workforce reducing jobs.
So I only got everything right; got it.
But women have been in the workforce for a long time now so that can't be the main reason
You publicly admit that you are not white and you NEVER address this because you know you can’t defend against the truth.
fears
Yeah, the ZOG definitely fears people who use no modern technology and whose ideology tells them to never fight back at any time for any reason no matter what is done to them.
This is what admitted nonwhite paid jewish shills actually think we will believe.
15% is not small. You’re simply brainwashed into thinking this is okay.
15% is what it has been since 1870. So it's not some new thing that's suddenly taken all the jobs.
We had fewer than 2 billion people before it started and 8 billion now. Technology sure didn’t create any jobs, right? All six billion of them are simply unemployed forever, yeah?
People create jobs because people have needs, like food and clothes and shelter. The existence of 1 person leads to the creation of multiple jobs. That's because 1 person can barely farm their own food, let alone make their own clothes, build their own home, and so on. So 8 billion people naturally have a need for far more than 8 billion jobs. So there can only be an overall lack of jobs when technology does the jobs for us.
And yet… everyone still has jobs. Almost as if your “argument” is puerile nonsense.
Except they don't, which is what this post is about. Plenty of people are unemployed and looking for jobs. In the past it was easy to get a job, but now many people find it hard to get any job at all even with a college degree.
Oh look, immigration! The other thing I said!
You mean the other thing I already proved wasn't the cause.
Stolen? By whom? Do they still have it? Can we get it back? And even if they do and we could, should we? Would we even be able to function in that sort of society now?
This is to say that we should strive and plan and work towards such a idyllic time to come about again. It just needs to be a product of our time and circumstances, who we are, and who we want to be.
Stolen? Yes. By whom? The slimeballs that pass for representatives and their friends in industry. Do they still have it? No, they sold it for personal gain. Can we get it back? Maybe but we will have to rebuild most of it. Would we even be able to function in that sort of society now? Yes. People would actually be happier to have a hand in creating something tangible they can point at rather wasting their time on make-work that they know is useless. Or at least men would.
One of my professors in college literally showed up in the big city with a bag on his back and walked into a random factory to ask for a job, got one assembling bird cages and sleeping on the lot for a few months.

I work in healthcare and its 99% government spending, subsidies, reimbursements etc.
Yeah. We are just delaying the collapse. We probably wouldve collapsed like the soviet union by now.
The dollar was already fucked from way before that. Taking off the gold standard had been done de facto when they seized everyone's gold in the 1930s under FDR.

You women shouldn’t call this out.
You joined the workforce in the millions and caused this.
Yep. It took out millions of "well off men" out of the dating pool since those well off men have to compete with women and outsiders/illegals for those jobs.
GENZBOSSINAMINI!!!!
Which ironically was from an Oz woman-led soap company IIRC.
The smart women want out, and those are the ones calling this out.
Oh yes, close the gate after the horses left 55 years ago.

You do not hate jews enough.

One important thing to remember is that every single major city has residential real estate that's cheap and in desirable locations right now, but the houses are in no-go zones for white people.
Those were White areas at one time but they fled when the diversity came in, especially the subsidized type
So not desirable?
Amazing what doubling the supply while maintaining the same demand does for the overall pricing structure. And then, once it's already on deep discount, flooding the market with substitute products that aren't quite as good, but they're much cheaper.
Now you can comfortably support your family by working 5 jobs. All this moaning means that you're not working.
Get back to work, bum.
And that wealth never disappeared, it was transferred to politicians, their families, and for bribes not just domestically but overseas as well.
Now you need 5 jobs to support a family of 1 comfortably.
It's actually still 100% possible today.
I know a woman who does it. She has 4 kids and has never worked a day in her life. She's never had a driver's license either. Her BF had a high school education.
There's a trick here though... you need a woman who doesn't want for much. That's nearly impossible today.

I honestly anticipated that the punchline from OP about being a poor Current Year mother with 4 kids was still possible.
But only as a female. And only due to infinite government gibs.
Agreed.
Something I never see talked about much these days is how those 1 income households lived.

So his family was starving because his alcoholic father spent the food money on booze? How exactly does that refute his statement? By your own admission your granddaddy's family was struggling because he was a bum, not because the time period was hard.
You bought an $80,000 BMW as your first car? What are you, Alec Baldwin from Glengarry Glen Ross?
I was a kid, I didn’t work. My father was a CNC machinist for decades without having a college degree. He generally only worked 40hrs a week, he got bonuses, GE (his employer throughout my childhood) would hold family parties for their workersc that company was gear backing the day….my pops only worked OT on occasion when he wanted a little extra spending cash for Christmas or whatever, but he was home fairly early on most work days, and he never missed my football games on the weekends.
Like I said, it was nothing like it is now. .
My parents story was similar. They didn't have much extra money in the 90s but the big difference was white institutions they could rely on.
This included something simple like a local library or a post office. Those suck now.
Fake Story.
Fuck Off!
She recently broke her cell phone and couldn't afford to buy anything more than a $100 used phone for a replacement. Like, absolutely could not afford anything else. She's raising 4 kids though and doesn't work.
It can be done... But you just can't live the way most people want to live. I wouldn't want to live that way to raise kids either.
Should have censored the name and avatar.
Not for privacy reasons, just because it lowers credibility having that pfp above those words.
Some things stand on their own. The profile pic causes an eyebrow raise but it doesn't really take away from the overall message to me.
You know why this ended? It wasn't because of immigration, which has really only been small until recently. Plus the boomers had a population increase that didn't lead to such problems of employment.
It's because of technology. Technology took all the manufacturing jobs and the rest moved to China because they also got technology for factories and transport technology meant we could be imported real cheap. Agriculture jobs had already disappeared earlier because of technology. So what's left are mostly paper shuffling and management jobs, but computers got rid of many of the former. The ones that are left are not enough for the population, so you have to fight over even the entry level positions. It's only going to get worse with AI and robots taking up all the rest of the jobs.
The jobs should have at least paid more as they decreased in number, but this was offset by the country making less stuff and instead spending all its efforts shuffling papers that doesn't produce anything. It's like a car engine that spends 90% of the fuel trying to make the remaining 10% of the fuel use marginally more efficient. In the end it uses way more fuel.
The luddites were obviously right in seeing that technology was going to take their jobs - they only get ridiculed because they were rather powerless to do anything about it. That wouldn't have been the case if the rest of society supported them.
The Federal Reserve, the female workforce, and infinite brown immigration. Period.
Every chart proves you wrong.
It literally did. It caused it.
The same technology that caused the creation of endless jobs; of course, of course.
The ones that kept increasing in number as technology grew?
Because what. Why did they move. What catalyst caused this move. Why did it become illegal to stay.
Why won’t you talk about that.
How. How did they get it. By what mechanism did this come about.
Which didn’t matter, because technology created more than the replacement jobs in all other sectors.
Once again, created more jobs than those replaced.
Then why are there still so many job openings everywhere.
None of this is real. You have been lied to your entire life.
Why?
Then why has everything they’ve ever said been wrong?
They get ridiculed because for 150 years, everything they’ve ever said was a lie, since technology created more jobs than it replaced.
Go die in the woods at 30, then.
Almost everything you said is the opposite of reality.
Here's the first result when I search "us immigration chart", which proves my point: https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/data-hub/charts/immigrant-population-over-time
Boomers are 61 to 79 now. Boomers leaving the workforce in the 21st century caused the lack of jobs in the 21st century?
Citation needed.
The luddites weren't wrong, they did lose their skilled jobs and had to get low skilled jobs paying much less instead and their children had to work in dangerous factories for barely a penny. That's exactly what they saw was going to happen and exactly what happened.
Again, citation needed. This is obviously not the case if you consider simple examples. It would take forever to harvest a field of wheat with your bare hands, but using a scythe makes it several times faster. But making a usable scythe doesn't take a lot of work - do it once and you don't have to do it again for several years. Scythe production factories make them with even less time per scythe, meaning less employment per scythe.
The only things you got right were the Federal reserve making the economy worse and women entering the workforce reducing jobs. But women have been in the workforce for a long time now so that can't be the main reason jobs are running out.
Irony.
Thanks for admitting your point was wrong. 15% is not small. You’re simply brainwashed into thinking this is okay.
Strawman somewhere else. You’re not worth my time.
The entirety of the Industrial Revolution, you subhuman piece of shit. We had fewer than 2 billion people before it started and 8 billion now. Technology sure didn’t create any jobs, right? All six billion of them are simply unemployed forever, yeah? Fuck off, dumbass. Critical thinking is required to be considered human. It takes five seconds to make these connections.
I guess you live in a parallel universe.
Sounds like a personal problem. Everyone else just learned a new trade.
“Had to;” uh huh.
The last 150 years of human history, dipshit.
And yet… everyone still has jobs. Almost as if your “argument” is puerile nonsense.
So I only got everything right; got it.
Oh look, immigration! The other thing I said!
Get out, you fucking Amish.
The shitskin fears the Amish.
You publicly admit that you are not white and you NEVER address this because you know you can’t defend against the truth.
Yeah, the ZOG definitely fears people who use no modern technology and whose ideology tells them to never fight back at any time for any reason no matter what is done to them.
This is what admitted nonwhite paid jewish shills actually think we will believe.
Choose one, and only one, shitskin.
WEF tech is pretty much useless against them.
Making up lies about the Amish now? You commie shills aren't very smart, I see.
You are brown.
You are browner than the brownest brown yet discovered.
Not even pretending to try to respond now. Zero effort to appear to be a real user account.
Reply again, admitted nonwhite paid jewish shill.
15% is what it has been since 1870. So it's not some new thing that's suddenly taken all the jobs.
People create jobs because people have needs, like food and clothes and shelter. The existence of 1 person leads to the creation of multiple jobs. That's because 1 person can barely farm their own food, let alone make their own clothes, build their own home, and so on. So 8 billion people naturally have a need for far more than 8 billion jobs. So there can only be an overall lack of jobs when technology does the jobs for us.
Except they don't, which is what this post is about. Plenty of people are unemployed and looking for jobs. In the past it was easy to get a job, but now many people find it hard to get any job at all even with a college degree.
You mean the other thing I already proved wasn't the cause.
Neat! So there will always be jobs. Got it.
Nope! Because that just means more people, and new categories of jobs.
lol.
And only “can’t” get them because companies hire subhumans instead of them. The jobs still exist. There is no dearth of jobs.
Is, yeah. You proved nothing. When foreigners are given jobs above citizens, the problem is immigration.
Stolen? By whom? Do they still have it? Can we get it back? And even if they do and we could, should we? Would we even be able to function in that sort of society now?
This is to say that we should strive and plan and work towards such a idyllic time to come about again. It just needs to be a product of our time and circumstances, who we are, and who we want to be.
Stolen? Yes.
By whom? The slimeballs that pass for representatives and their friends in industry.
Do they still have it? No, they sold it for personal gain.
Can we get it back? Maybe but we will have to rebuild most of it.
Would we even be able to function in that sort of society now? Yes. People would actually be happier to have a hand in creating something tangible they can point at rather wasting their time on make-work that they know is useless. Or at least men would.
Name is appropriate. But at least he seems to have some genuine desire to work toward a better future, just lacks some knowledge of history.
