What is even the point of being a wagie at this point? Zoomers are in the right to refuse to work

I have a decent job, so I calculated, how much do I have to slave to buy a house.....

But man, I am bad at math, because my numbers are off by 15 percent inflation :soyscream:

I’m actually dead serious about zoomers being right to refuse to work. Imagine if zoomers today unironically demanded 1955 American lifestyle. I can’t speak for the Czech Republic, but just imagine an American zoomer saying any of these things without apology:

“I will live with my parents and flip burgers this summer to pay for my college tuition.”
“I’m a 20yo welder. This means I should be buying a freshly-built house on a 10yr mortgage where the monthly payment is 25% of my takehome and a car fresh off the assembly line, no debt.”
“I have a bachelor’s degree in some humanities bullshit like literature. That means I’m ‘educated’ and everybody will treat me like I have a galaxy brain, and I will get paid like it. I’ll be on my third house by 30.”
“If I flake out on my debts, I will be getting a mortgage in 2yrs anyway.”

It would be castigated as extremely “entitled,” yet to anybody born in the 1945 to 1965 range, it was completely real. All of it.

Being alive in the 80s was a sight to behold. It was truly an alien planet to the hell we have now.
@Evil_Bender @LukeAlmighty @NEETzsche As someone put it, it was the "Indian Summer" of America, the last gasp of (somewhat) sanity before society weakened too much to hold back the wave of post WWII insanity.
