If you were born before 1970 and were a man you lived life on tutorial difficulty
This. I remember most of my dads friends had completely average jobs like working in a supermarket, like not even a manager but literally some guy who just worked in a supermarket for 20 years and managed to have his own house and a wife who didn’t need to work as well as kids. If you were even slightly above average in that generation then you were rich.
Then what changed?
Diversity 🙂
It was an obvious bubble so wonderful everyone just immediately decided it was how it should always be. Life from about 1945-1990 or so was a once in a civilization level of comfort and ease and advancement. It was day 1 of the Information Age. Nothing was the same before and every single day things were no longer the same as they were from that point onward. There was never anything like it and never will be ever again.
>there will never be anything like it ever again
Seems like you're overreacting and being a bit dramatic. Those years will come again. It might take a reset or two but it will happen again sometime in human history. People like to think the world is ending but every human since day one on this earth has thought everything was going to degeneracy and shit. We are creatures designed to fear change and love normalcy. The world will keep on spinning long after you die. Maybe there will be hard times or maybe good times but it won't matter because your kids will become nostalgic for the time they grew up in which is the very same time that you believed to be the end times
He is speaking in terms of economics, not sympathetic feelings towards am eea. We will never live in an economic climate again where a grocery store clerk or cashier could own his own house, ever.
It’s about economics fricktard, the middle class in America was strong and prosperous post WW2 until around the millennium and the last 20years or so has been a decline and widening of the gap between rich and poor and there will soon no longer be a middle class. In fact you could argue there’s no middle class anymore right now and just different levels of poor and rich currently.
please read a book on the 70's and early 80's
Letting in 100 million shitskins that suppressed wages and increased housing demand. Shows how moronic zoomers are for voting for their replacements and open borders.
A bunch of people with an affinity for wearing tiny hats decided instead of everyone doing well in life, they should rule over everyone else and make life miserable for the rest of us.
Daily Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Avocado Toast demolished the economy.
Someone decided that you should NOT make most of your living from a wageslave job, more so now that minimum wage tripled compared to the 90's, so the goal is to keep anyone productive/set on working 20 years /w promotions OUT of the wageslave workforce. It's why the average retail/food experience is Mexicans/zoomers on shit hours hired en masse to ensure that high minimum wage goes nowhere, but because they're Mexicans/zoomers, they'll just quiet-quit without a fuss so the next Mexican/zoomer hiring wave can start
Now add Blackrock/DEI shit, and you have companies that go out of their ways to hire the biggest morons possible so the scores go up and the wages go down. The idea of completely giving-up and just waltzing into Walmart for a guaranteed job died in most parts of the US as early as 2012, it's why those
>BLESSED! SAMARITAN CLEANS HOBO UP AND FINDS HIM MCDONALD'S JOB
human interest stories have completely disappeared, there are now giant lines to work at McDonald's in LA whenever there's a hiring event, and hiring events have always been a way to create the impression of productivity or "we're looking for work, seriously!" messaging while also being able to verify you're not hiring an evil white male
My parents bought a house in a nice suburb of Los Angeles in 1990 on a fricking insurance auditor and part time teachers income. Neither had degrees. 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a huge yard. Paid if off in 6 years. Sold it in 1998 for $230,000. It's worth $2.1 million at the moment.
my brother bought a 4 bedroom house in the suburbs working in a factory with no degree in 2016
What city?
Cincinnati
Dale and his wife both have regular jobs, Bill gets a salary from the army, and Boomhauer is a Texas Ranger unless you think that reveal was stupid in which case his real job is unknown. That's kind of a moronic question though.
Dale earns jack shit, its a common joke throughout the show, and I believe Boomhauer talks about receiving welfare checks (but could be a cover up)
>Dale earns jack shit,
Yes but his wife is literally a TV personality. Our shitty local weather man lives in a fricking mansion.
>Yes but his wife is literally a TV personality.
True
>Our shitty local weather man lives in a fricking mansion.
crazy! o.O
>Dale
He's an exterminator and his wife is a weather lady on the news
>Boomhauer
he's apparently a texas ranger
>Bill
he cuts hair in the army
also property is dirt cheap in Texas
Boomhauer says in the mower focus group episode that he’s an electrician on disability. The Texas Ranger bit is indicative of how far removed from the original show the later seasons are.
He says in another episode he was an electrical engineer but works for the DPS now.
What episode?
I think the one where he fricks the ice cream truck driver.
That could be his cover story. He could be investigating Dale for his anti-government views.
Bit of a long time to be undercover considering they're childhood friends.
Boomers could buy moderately sized homes in the suburbs with literal unskilled labor wages. You could pay off an Ivy League education in it's entirety by mowing grass in the summers and be guaranteed a salary after education that could pay off a house with just 2 years of frugal living.
The fact so many boomers aren't millionaires just shows how absolutely incompetent and undeserving these fricks were of the golden ticket they were handed in life. If they had've invested 2 paycheques worth of cash into any computer company they'd be multi-millionaires today. For all their boomerfrick nonsense about working hard and being smart with your money, it's empirically provable that any boomer born before 1965 that isn't worth 7 figures minimum today was a stupid lazy shit that coasted off the historically unique wealth opportunities handed to their generation.
So much salt from a poorgay, lmao. Try escaping the matrix next time.
They lived in a suburb in Texas, in completely average houses, and most likely bought them in the early 80s. On top of that they did all their yardwork and renovations themselves and the ones whose income might be questionable(Bill and Boomhauer) had no kids or spouses to support.
>Bill
>income might be questionable
Bill is the least queationable of the four, actually. He's an E-5 with at least ten years of service (likely more). He was making the equivalent of $3,300 a month in addition to approximately $650 in allowances. The inflation adjusted cost of a normal house back in 1990 would be $220,000 - with an average APR of 10%, his monthly payments would be barely more than his BAH. Considering he lives well within his means and is generally a low maintenance slob, he can easily afford his lifestyle.
They also never really go out and never eat out. The Hills have the same seven meals every day of the week.
Shit, that's correct. They consider fricking Whataburger a treat to be had occasionally.
Because they were raised by people who grew up during the depression and not just as little kids either.
Dale never really knew his dad though and Bill's family lived in New Orleans
Arlene doesn't strike me as being a particularly high property value area. According to CNBC, the median house price in Texas in 2000 (RoTH ran from 1997-2010) was about $83,000, which now would be $148k. Their neighborhood didn't look like a slum but it also wasn't upscale, so an average subdivision in an average town.
How many restaurants use propane? Probably not many. Hank firmly believed in the superiority of propane and propane accessories. Eating out meant betraying his livelihood.
Arlen is inspired by Arlington and Allen. So a town close to Dallas but still remote enough to have affordable properties. That also lines up with Kahn's commute to Houston being 3 hours one way.
And Richardson, which has a large Asian population.
If chuds allowed more immigration and less guns these problems would solve themselves. But they keep voting against their economic interests like the morons they are
Ah yes just invite more people in so there are more ppl to compete for in my job which the employer will use to decrease the wage of said job. Even Bernie Sanders didnt want mass immigration because he knew it would screw over the blue collar working class american. Also wtf do guns have to do with this? Pls be b8
If you aren't a top.5%er, every election yoy are voting against your own economic interests
Before your parents let in 50 million immigrants into your country you used to be able to buy a house for 120k
Biden is letting in another 2 mil a year so good luck ever owning anything.
Exterminator is and always has been a decent blue collar level or so job thats both easy (if you can pup up with the bugs) and decently lucrative. How many out of work and poor southerner exterminators have you met? There's bugs all the time. Dale wouldve been busy all 4 seasons, year round, unquestionably. Boomhauer was a police officer.
>Boomhauer was a police officer.
Dale is revealed to be a shit exterminator several times, the Gribble residence is propped up entirely by Nancy's income.
Didn't he stopped being an exterminator to get an office job that paid more
He quits once he realizes the rush from firing people isn't as good as the rush from killing vermin.
Yeah, Nancy said in an episode that Dale only pays the cable bill.
