Also, the American dream is gone. You want to buy a starter home? In much of the country, your starter home may cost you $700,000. So, you’re not buying that. And wages haven’t kept pace with inflation over the past 40 years. And we’re heading into a recession. And the stock market is going to crash.

Thanks to foreigners buying all the houses and driving up the prices. Folks in China and India want that safe haven in the US for when the STHF in their countries, and are willing to pay top-dollar for whatever they can get.

Yes. There are a lot of solid reasons for what is going on. This is all real stuff. Lots and lots of problems. I’m very close to retirement so to an extent “I don’t care” but I have real sympathy for young people trying to start out.

Yes, plenty of them are annoying, and woke, and all of that. But this coming generation has just about everything stacked against them. The Global Order is going to ruin their lives.

People who talk about how tough they had it in 1980 really don’t understand that this isn’t the same country today. At all.
