no idea what youre talking about anon, life is good 🙂
>Russia
With EU's energy diversification programs rolling I can't even begin to explain how irrelevant Russia is. As irrelevant as fricking Macedonia, nobody even thinks about it.
They have two things, a military and the intention of conquering all of Europe with it. At least parts of Ukraine will probably remain a warzone for the rest of the decade. And there is a very real chance that the Americans might ally with Russia against Europe after the next election.

Eric Andre has to be the epitome of Millenial humour. Complete anarchy and apathy but still somehow commercially palatable because Millenials can't really ever rebel.
Anon is correct. Most English accents that we know did not develop until the 19th century. The English accent of the 18th century is all but dead but parts of the Carolinas in the USA speak the closest accent to it.
I recommend the HBO miniseries about John Adams to hear a concerted effort to recreate the accent.

>Boomers and the Gen Xers.
They had homes they have since tripled/quadrupled in price and they had way more expendable income. Millennials basically got the short straw out of all the generations from the post war era
>go to elementary school in the 90s >be told we'd have flying cars >be told we could all be rich >be told we'd all be dead because of acid rain, ice age, heat age, etc. >be told most of the world would be underwater >be told we'd need a ton of shit we're taught in every day life for the rest of the lives >grow up during the start of helicopter parents, stranger danger, school shootings, 9/11, and two bubbles bursting
Yeah, I wonder why we are so fricked up. We were never given a chance and were told we'd be dead before we graduated from high school from various shit.
no common cause, no common enemy, no purpose except for making money. as cliche as fight club is, the speech about a directionless generation is 100% true. late genX and millennials are the first generation that didn't have a big driving force so they have to find their own cause which leads them down either the path of hardcore progressiveism(become the champion of the downtrodden) or hardcore capitalism(get rich by any means, whatever message you have to sell or whatever ideals you have to betray).
Because most of the American media that you consume comes from coastal cities where they are taught to celebrate their flaws rather than try to improve themselves.
I could never relate to millenial woes, my parents were immigrants and my dad worked as a janitor and we shared a house with 15 other people. Yes eventually my dad owned that house off a janitor job but it was back breaking labor his entire life and now he's pretty messed up and on pain meds.
Meanwhile I work a comfy wfh programmer job and make more money than I even need to count. This kind of shit didnt exist back then. Life is so easy right now, are millenials just sad they're playing on easy mode? The only purpose my parents had were to raise kids and give them a good life, but Millenials dont even want kids
Yes! I really want to backbreak myself to afford a small house, so we pop out a kid, so he/she can live 15 to a house and I can get addicted to pain pills.
FWIW I want kids and will have them, but I'll never judge someone for not having kids. It's a hard fricking job and not everyone is up for it.
>The only purpose my parents had were to raise kids and give them a good life
Yes yes we all know how much thirdies like breeding.
The eternal turdie "good god my life is worthless, I'm poor and have no skills whatsoever other than the ability to toil hard. Literally the only thing I can possible do to find any fulfillment and not drink myself to death is to shit out some kids and live vicariously through their success" is a tale as old as time itself.
Some of us have loftier ambitions, however. My mom comes from a family of doctors, and my cousin is a cardiac radiologist and a professor. Already a millionaire. I can totally understand that dude having more to lose than gain from having kids. He gets to frick and teach and practice and has literally hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to spend on autistic hobbies. I can totally see "frick having kids" from that position. You worked tens of thousands of hours to be the best, and now you have to wipe asses and deal with constant needs and stop living the life? For what purpose?
>It's a hard fricking job and not everyone is up for it.
nta, but I'd wager a solid 75% of mothers/women are unfit as frick and should never have/had kids.
Let's be fair: plenty of men also shouldn't procreate
At least the moms stay around even if they do a shit job. Men who frick off and let their kids be raised by single-moms are cowards, simple as.
True, but a higher percentage of men are more fit to have kids. >Men who frick off and let their kids be raised by single-moms are cowards, simple as
True, but women choose who they have kids with. They should be better selectors and simply wait until marriage for sex and kids. Women are at fault the most.
moron do the math on what he was earning then and how much the house cost. Then do the same math for what the job pays now and how much the house costs.
Fricking janitor buying a house, literally fricking impossible nowadays
One of the few instances in history where the children are failing to out-earn their parents. Boomers had the unique opportunity of existing at the height of American prosperity and are wondering why their children and grandchildren are unhappy with the raw deal they inherited.
I only say America specifically because Boomers grew up in a world where America was at the height of its dominance, basically being the only major nation to walk away from WW2 and decolonization completely unscathed
>WW2 and decolonization completely unscathed
Turning up years late to ww2, lending money like shy lock and forcing decolonization on the European powers. Its not a surprise

Not even American prosperity, but most 1st world countries. Even in the East, Boomers are miles ahead of Millennials and Zoomers for everything.
Baby Boomers were fortunate to be born into a good season, but their wealth was built through hard work just like everyone else's.
Why does CloudFlare ask if I'm a human 4 times before I can post?
>but their wealth was built through hard work just like everyone else's.
Absolutely not. Hard work is a prerequisite of life, boomers most definitely did not work harder than millennials. Boomers also had the luxury of strong unions that gave them great benefits and a good quality of life. The reason they are richer is because house prices quadrupled since the late 90's/early 00's, that's it not hard work or being smart just being lucky enough to be born at the right time
It has literally nothing to do with work ethic. As [...] said, many of them worked in unionized sectors which provided them with good wages, which had been keeping pace with both the cost of hosing and education. These days, unions are almost entirely gone, along with private pensions. Globalization and free trade has sent formerly lucrative, low skill jobs overseas, and the cost of housing, healthcare, and education is spiraling upwards.
Unions were never more than 30% and trust me, they aren't as good as you think unless you want a do nothing job.
As a boomer do you unironically not understand how everything is harder these days? How wages dont afford a fraction of the lifestyle you could afford? Or how owning a home is next to impossible for most young people?
everything is easier these days, except the bureaucracy. that's why all the jobs have been and are getting outsourced, the bureaucrats make operating it domestically unviable. their jobs are literally to prevent everyone else from working.

Other than those three, wages now have grown faster than prices.

wages haven't grown because people are being employed to do negative work. like you want to do something, but you can't because you need to do the paperwork first. not only is there nothing about the paperwork that's necessary to do the job, but having to do it actively makes you less productive. and these people's wages have to come out of productive people's wages, which drives the average wage down.
you may be able to print all the money you want, but the value of that money is only actually generated by the useful labor that all the other jobs rely upon to exist.
you can hire all the people you want to dig holes then fill them back in, and all it's ever going to do is reduce wages. jobs are not intrinsically productive.
>Unions were never more than 30% and trust me
1 in 3 workers being unionized following WW2 is a huge difference compared to the 1 in 10 we see now. Also why the frick would I trust (You)?

Because degrees are simultaneously more expensive while also being worth less, due to the fact that ANYONE can get student loans, which drives up the price of education, especially via administrative bloat.

Why do you people always point out that prices are increasing without mentioning wages are increasing too? Back in the 70s, an $8000 a year job was a GOOD salary. Now you won't meet someone making less than 10 times that unless they are in fast food, retail, or food service. Even UPS drivers make that much now (and they're unionized... since you seem to care about that)

You're clearly being disingenuous. They'll make 170k in pay AND BENEFITS. That means they'll end up making the average of 42k a year and the BENEFITS, which could be health insurance, stock options, etc. would account for the rest. They're not taking home 170k a year in actual pay.

Yeah getting paid well for a blue collar job where you don't constantly destroy your body sounds fricking great.
Millennials worked/work numerous times harder than boomers could imagine and for a fraction of the pay & benefits. Boomers didn't have to spend 4+ years at college just to get an entry level job that pays frick all. That is, of course, if the job is even available and hasn't been replaced by some immigrant or outsourced completely. Even the most moronic low IQ boomer could graduate from highschool and immediately get a lifetime job at some company, making enough money to buy a new house and car.
It has literally nothing to do with work ethic. As

what's unions got to do with you needing to go to college to be allowed to cut someone's hair, or do any other low-skilled job that in any sane world would never require a diploma and could be done competently by a 14 year old after a couple of weeks or months of practice?
5% of the population should go to college, any more than that and you're being scammed.
Low-skilled blue collar workers are still guaranteed good wages via unions, and those that opt for college instead can get an education that's somewhat affordable and is actually worth something. Understand?

It's a problem for everyone. Poor and middle class folks are shelling out thousands for an education that's worth less than ever to gain a marginal competitive edge in the marketplace.
Also another advantage boomers got was cash, most of you never paid youre right amount of tax. I dont blame you for this but its just another thing that newer generations are now getting fricked over that no generation for thousands of years had to nkmsydeal with
Most of us (on Cinemaphile at least) had absent father figures which made us the way we are. It’s why “fatherless behavior” has taken off as the latest memeword insult on here, because it’s partial projection and the person throwing the term around knows how hurtful (and apt) it is.

The funniest part is that they won't even hire you as a janitor unless you're israeli or non-white. There's a reason why most get rejected from applying for jobs online. Their software instantly rejects it if you're white, male, white male, etc.
Buying power went down, things got more expensive and wages have barely changed. There’s nothing to argue with delusional morons who still think “working your way up” is a thing.
It was very alienating to become addicted to the internet when no grown-up knew what it was. At the same time, it didn't give me any power, because the internet barely influenced society. There was no social media. This was also before streaming or even YouTube. I torrented hundreds of films and watched those instead of TV.

Divorce/separated parents is probably the biggest reason millennials and really any other generation after that are so fricked up. Selfish parents destroy any semblance of a stable family life and wonder why their kids end up as apathetic sociopaths.
We're the first generation to inherit a world that was objectively worse than what came before it. We ended a centuries-long pattern of improvement and were the first to have to grapple with the fact that almost everything is worse than it used to be and that everything continues to get worse in such a profound, omnipresent way that to turn things around is a laughably idyllic notion.
I can't imagine the sheer fricking joy of previous generations who watched the world improve itself every single day. Now we just have to watch this rotting log grow more and more infested until we die unceremoniously and frustrated.
>Economically
Inflation in the 80s was worse than today. There was gas rationing. Whereas the 20s were the greateet bull run in history. >Socially
Nonquantifiable buzzword.
For the record UPS is the only delivery company paying remotely close to what they're paying, getting into them is like being a made man and you have to work part time in the warehouse for years. Fedex ground pays a day rate of like $130/day and express pays like $18/hr MAYBE.
There have been several generations to see the world get worse. Imagine growing up in the late 20s/30s as the economy sorts itself out after the great depression and then witnessing ww2 frick up everything. I think what makes it so bad for us is to see all the old geriatric morons consistently vote for the world to become worse.
Every single issue showcases that the older generations don't give a frick and only care about themselves and getting richer. Covid has to be the worst example of this where everything shut down so that a few old fricks wouldn't have to worry about dying in their 80s and could continue to leech of the public sector while complaining that taxes are too high.
It's impossible to see that and be optimistic about the world and people. By the time all the old fricks actually do die off it will be too late so they don't ever have to live in the shambles of a world they've created.
>ww2 frick up everything.
But after that there was a massive economic boom and more opportunities than ever for the working man. Not to mention in UK the creation of the welfare state, NHS and council houses
Yeah but they were hardly feeling that way at the time.
Like you can't say "oh yeah you millennials have it bad now but there's about to be a huge economic boom so get over it".
Boomers and megacorps have pretty much skullfricked the economy. Most Zoomers just accept the shit sandwich because it's all they know. They are content to just sit around watching tictok chink slop on their phones so they don't have to think about it. Millennials saw the world as it used to be, and watched it collapse around them.pretty much the only way for millennials to get anywhere in life is to just wait for their families to die, and hope they weren't moronic enough to hand over their generational wealth to some damn poojeet needful
Final commodification of nerd-culture.
There is no escape for intellectualism as it becomes cannibalized into the mainstream through sexy people wearing thick blackrimmed glasses and imagining themselves smart and tasteful.

We have more time for self-reflection than ever, so moronic normies with zero spiritual fortitude or knowledge from growing up in a fake-christian atheist corporate culture, have no idea how to handle their own spiritual and mental hygiene.

With EU's energy diversification programs rolling I can't even begin to explain how irrelevant Russia is. As irrelevant as fricking Macedonia, nobody even thinks about it.
They have two things, a military and the intention of conquering all of Europe with it. At least parts of Ukraine will probably remain a warzone for the rest of the decade. And there is a very real chance that the Americans might ally with Russia against Europe after the next election.

didnt the english people all start talking different at some point in the 16th or 17th century?
Anon is correct. Most English accents that we know did not develop until the 19th century. The English accent of the 18th century is all but dead but parts of the Carolinas in the USA speak the closest accent to it.
I recommend the HBO miniseries about John Adams to hear a concerted effort to recreate the accent.

They had homes they have since tripled/quadrupled in price and they had way more expendable income. Millennials basically got the short straw out of all the generations from the post war era

Yeah, I wonder why we are so fricked up. We were never given a chance and were told we'd be dead before we graduated from high school from various shit.
no common cause, no common enemy, no purpose except for making money. as cliche as fight club is, the speech about a directionless generation is 100% true. late genX and millennials are the first generation that didn't have a big driving force so they have to find their own cause which leads them down either the path of hardcore progressiveism(become the champion of the downtrodden) or hardcore capitalism(get rich by any means, whatever message you have to sell or whatever ideals you have to betray).
Look at the world we were fricking born into
NWBAHG
They're putting shit in the water that turns the fricking frogs gay.
Because most of the American media that you consume comes from coastal cities where they are taught to celebrate their flaws rather than try to improve themselves.
Self improvement is overrated. Make your best better, rather than focus on fine tuning flaws
Scumbag boomers screwed them out of everything.
I could never relate to millenial woes, my parents were immigrants and my dad worked as a janitor and we shared a house with 15 other people. Yes eventually my dad owned that house off a janitor job but it was back breaking labor his entire life and now he's pretty messed up and on pain meds.
Meanwhile I work a comfy wfh programmer job and make more money than I even need to count. This kind of shit didnt exist back then. Life is so easy right now, are millenials just sad they're playing on easy mode? The only purpose my parents had were to raise kids and give them a good life, but Millenials dont even want kids
Yes! I really want to backbreak myself to afford a small house, so we pop out a kid, so he/she can live 15 to a house and I can get addicted to pain pills.
FWIW I want kids and will have them, but I'll never judge someone for not having kids. It's a hard fricking job and not everyone is up for it.
>The only purpose my parents had were to raise kids and give them a good life
Yes yes we all know how much thirdies like breeding.
The eternal turdie "good god my life is worthless, I'm poor and have no skills whatsoever other than the ability to toil hard. Literally the only thing I can possible do to find any fulfillment and not drink myself to death is to shit out some kids and live vicariously through their success" is a tale as old as time itself.
Some of us have loftier ambitions, however. My mom comes from a family of doctors, and my cousin is a cardiac radiologist and a professor. Already a millionaire. I can totally understand that dude having more to lose than gain from having kids. He gets to frick and teach and practice and has literally hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to spend on autistic hobbies. I can totally see "frick having kids" from that position. You worked tens of thousands of hours to be the best, and now you have to wipe asses and deal with constant needs and stop living the life? For what purpose?
>It's a hard fricking job and not everyone is up for it.
nta, but I'd wager a solid 75% of mothers/women are unfit as frick and should never have/had kids.
Let's be fair: plenty of men also shouldn't procreate
At least the moms stay around even if they do a shit job. Men who frick off and let their kids be raised by single-moms are cowards, simple as.
True, but a higher percentage of men are more fit to have kids.
>Men who frick off and let their kids be raised by single-moms are cowards, simple as
True, but women choose who they have kids with. They should be better selectors and simply wait until marriage for sex and kids. Women are at fault the most.
moron do the math on what he was earning then and how much the house cost. Then do the same math for what the job pays now and how much the house costs.

Bojack is Gen X
One of the few instances in history where the children are failing to out-earn their parents. Boomers had the unique opportunity of existing at the height of American prosperity and are wondering why their children and grandchildren are unhappy with the raw deal they inherited.
Not even American prosperity, but most 1st world countries. Even in the East, Boomers are miles ahead of Millennials and Zoomers for everything.
I only say America specifically because Boomers grew up in a world where America was at the height of its dominance, basically being the only major nation to walk away from WW2 and decolonization completely unscathed
>WW2 and decolonization completely unscathed
Turning up years late to ww2, lending money like shy lock and forcing decolonization on the European powers. Its not a surprise
Skill issue. Hate the game, not the player.
>euros would literally still own Asia and Africa if they could just not ape out and profit
>instead they destroyed each other so hard their empires ended with a whimper

>And we've done a better job of it too
No you've literally fricked everything up irrevocably for everyone including yourselves
Don't get me wrong: the bar for best superpower is really fricking low.
But yeah we've done loads better than the Brits or the French or the B*lgians. We've got East Asia and Europe eating out of our hands, and almost all of it with soft power. Cope and seethe irrelevant has-been.
Ah yes the mighty US empire with its colonies of erm............um..............Puerto Rico and erm...............................................................................Guam.
American hegemony isnt even going to last 100 years. Pathetic
Unironically: The deal that was offered post WW2 was "Decolonize on our terms or the commies will eat you alive". Nobody was going to object to those terms, and France basically got the term down to "They will only be techinically independent" anyway.
Baby Boomers were fortunate to be born into a good season, but their wealth was built through hard work just like everyone else's.
Why does CloudFlare ask if I'm a human 4 times before I can post?
>but their wealth was built through hard work just like everyone else's.
Absolutely not. Hard work is a prerequisite of life, boomers most definitely did not work harder than millennials. Boomers also had the luxury of strong unions that gave them great benefits and a good quality of life. The reason they are richer is because house prices quadrupled since the late 90's/early 00's, that's it not hard work or being smart just being lucky enough to be born at the right time
You cannot possibly Believe this.
You cant possibly that stupid old man.
Unions were never more than 30% and trust me, they aren't as good as you think unless you want a do nothing job.
As a boomer do you unironically not understand how everything is harder these days? How wages dont afford a fraction of the lifestyle you could afford? Or how owning a home is next to impossible for most young people?
everything is easier these days, except the bureaucracy. that's why all the jobs have been and are getting outsourced, the bureaucrats make operating it domestically unviable. their jobs are literally to prevent everyone else from working.
You're genuinely a fricking idiot.
So only housing, education, medical costs are more expensive and also workers rights and wages are worse. So everything that's important to living life. Also food and clothing is more expensive but a lot worse quality.
>wages now have grown faster than prices
No.
wages haven't grown because people are being employed to do negative work. like you want to do something, but you can't because you need to do the paperwork first. not only is there nothing about the paperwork that's necessary to do the job, but having to do it actively makes you less productive. and these people's wages have to come out of productive people's wages, which drives the average wage down.
you may be able to print all the money you want, but the value of that money is only actually generated by the useful labor that all the other jobs rely upon to exist.
you can hire all the people you want to dig holes then fill them back in, and all it's ever going to do is reduce wages. jobs are not intrinsically productive.
Housing is a lot more expensive, I'll give you that. Medical care is too though millennials are way too young to care about that. That hurts baby boomers way more. College is more but most baby boomers didn't even get to go to college so I have no idea why that is always brought up as some kind of "gotcha". Other than those three, wages now have grown faster than prices.
>Medical care is too though millennials are way too young to care about that
Young people get sick and injured too
>That hurts baby boomers way more
You old farts are all on Medicare now
>College is more but most baby boomers didn't even get to go to college
Because degrees are simultaneously more expensive while also being worth less, due to the fact that ANYONE can get student loans, which drives up the price of education, especially via administrative bloat.
>Other than those three, wages now have grown faster than prices.
The greatest changes in CPI we've seen in decades have been in the past 3 years.
Why do you people always point out that prices are increasing without mentioning wages are increasing too? Back in the 70s, an $8000 a year job was a GOOD salary. Now you won't meet someone making less than 10 times that unless they are in fast food, retail, or food service. Even UPS drivers make that much now (and they're unionized... since you seem to care about that)
>Back in the 70s, an $8000 a year job was a GOOD salary. Now you won't meet someone making less than 10 times that unless they are in fast food, retail, or food service. Even UPS drivers make that much now (and they're unionized... since you seem to care about that)

That's kind of the point that's being made ITT. Curious that thats the job you chose to pick for your example.
Good news, they're hiring! So you will surely stop complaining now.
>moron doesn't understand that most delivery companies subcontract that shit to non unionized drivers
There's a reason these positions are so coveted. Getting a job as a union garbage man in NYC is statistically more competitive than Ivy League school admissions
There are hundreds of thousands of unionized UPS workers. That's one company. And it's not even one of the biggest companies. You really think they're subcontracting to Laser Shipping or DSL?
You're hung up on UPS. Union membership is statistically at an all time low, this isnt debatable. You're not going to get a significant number of the nations workers employed in union roles at a handful of companies.
Just post the link to these readily available $170K a year unionized UPS jobs Grandad.
Its that simple.
Do all us stupid millennials a favor with your superior boomer knowledge and skillset.
it's not that hard anon
if you do the obvious thing and ignore deductions, taxes, etc. and assume a TON of bonus money and FREE benefits that you don't pay into at all, that's how $22/hr turns into $170K a year.
So easy and logical. Now everyone get a job and get to work.

No we dont.

How the frick am i supposed to work that "$170k" UPS job working form home???
From our interaction youve just reinforced how dumb boomers are
I didn't say the UPS job was work from home. That's why I said I hadn't even mentioned the work from home jobs yet after I had mentioned the UPS jobs. I'm beginning to understand why you specifically are poor though. Don't worry, not everyone is as stupid as you. We'll pay for your welfare anyway.
>Good news, they're hiring!
No they are not. Also show me how many drivers are on the contract. Guarantee they arent hiring anymore unionized drivers

>UPS is only hiring 4 drivers across the country
You're so goddamn dumb. And yeah, it's called not leaving a job after 6 months you fricking lazy homosexual. Their emoyment contract is public.
Instead of posting a thinkpiece from news and social websites, why don't you post some ACTUAL job listing? You seem so insistent, it shouldn't be difficult.
>Ummmmm ackhually you get to start earning that $170k contract after working 35 years bucko. I think that's swell idea you need to show the company you are committed.
Where did I say 35 years? If you're having trouble getting hired, maybe it's because they know you're a liar.
You're clearly being disingenuous. They'll make 170k in pay AND BENEFITS. That means they'll end up making the average of 42k a year and the BENEFITS, which could be health insurance, stock options, etc. would account for the rest. They're not taking home 170k a year in actual pay.
It's called working your way up and gaining seniority. And no, you're never making $42k even with 0 years of experience... more like twice that. After 5 years, you'll clear six figures. Don't want to drive a truck? Get a coding job. Or become a welder. Or sit on your ass and whine that you should be given free money for weed and video games because you're just God's most precious little creature.
>And no, you're never making $42k even with 0 years of experience... more like twice that.

We've inevitably reached bootstrap-posting
I love that whenever anyone tells you to actually do something with your life besides be a couch potato, you'll just wine that you shouldn't have to "pick yourself up by your bootstraps". God forbid you take any initiative in your life, right?
God forbid we try to figure out any institutional changes rather than sit idly by while inequality grows each year and just suggest to everyone "get a better job lol" as if that's realistic. Even funnier considering boomers did less bootstrapping than any other generation
How many more Cinemaphile posts until we solve structural inequality?
Is that what I said I was doing here?
You have YET to prove that they'll be making 170k in ACTUAL PAY A YEAR. You're clearly a senile boomer, government employee doing damage control, or work for UPS marketing. Which is it?
I already linked two articles. Why are you people so hung up on the one random company I picked?
I already pointed out that it says in pay AND BENEFITS. I'll give you one more chance to prove they'll make 170k a year in actual take home pay.
You know getting benefits is better than pay, right? It's pre-tax dollars. So you can either spend post-tax dollars on benefits or pre-tax.
Thanks for admitting you were full of shit and they don't take home 170k a year in pay. I accept your concession. Filtered. Be a good moronic boomer and reply to me when I'll never see it. I know your dumbass can't resist.
Anything to avoid improving your life, eh? If you just complain all the time, you don't have to risk ever actually trying and failing. It's a unique type of narcissism among millennials I think.
>Just get a job $170K+benefits job at UPS you lazy millennial scumbag
>Erm those jobs dont actually exist

Stop trying gaslighting me Grandad
I never said $170k plus benefits. You said that, you fricking lying sack of shit
Find the link for just $170k then
Still no proof these $170K jobs + benefits exist. Stop believing everything the tv man says. Its basically a deal for a very very small amount of unionized drivers that they made a big public song and dance about so people apply for the $23 an hour jobs in hope one day they can get those $170K+benefits job. Which will ultimately never happened

Fricking moron.

He's clearly a boomer or government employee doing damage control with bullshit. Unlike other places, we're not a bunch of morons. At least not in that way.
>UP TO 170k
You're actually moronic. Glassdoor shows that the AVERAGE pay for a full time UPS Delivery Driver is $42,521 per year. You're reaching for the most extreme edge case imaginable.
Glassdoor uses "AI" to make those numbers up. UPS pays minimum $22/hr so no full time driver is making that little. And that's before bonuses or overtime or holiday pay or benefits. This is all public knowledge. If you would get off your ass and spend 5 minutes looking into it you'd know that, but I guess it's easier to sit on the couch and whine about how noboeldy is handing you a check for a million dollars.
>this moron thinks $22/hr is leagues ahead of $45K a year
>he dares imply your net pay is a lowball figure thanks to "bonuses and overtime and holiday pay"
>he is comfortable implying everyone else is just doing empty whining with no substance
worst post of the day and it's 10AM. impressive
You understand "benefits" are usually deducted from your salary, right? And overtime and PTO isn't factored into your wage either.

>Unions were never more than 30% and trust me
1 in 3 workers being unionized following WW2 is a huge difference compared to the 1 in 10 we see now. Also why the frick would I trust (You)?

Yeah getting paid well for a blue collar job where you don't constantly destroy your body sounds fricking great.
>Also why the frick would I trust (You)?
unfathomably based Anonymous Mongolian bull-prepping symposium realist
Millennials worked/work numerous times harder than boomers could imagine and for a fraction of the pay & benefits. Boomers didn't have to spend 4+ years at college just to get an entry level job that pays frick all. That is, of course, if the job is even available and hasn't been replaced by some immigrant or outsourced completely. Even the most moronic low IQ boomer could graduate from highschool and immediately get a lifetime job at some company, making enough money to buy a new house and car.
Office jobs are barely jobs at all.
It has literally nothing to do with work ethic. As
said, many of them worked in unionized sectors which provided them with good wages, which had been keeping pace with both the cost of hosing and education. These days, unions are almost entirely gone, along with private pensions. Globalization and free trade has sent formerly lucrative, low skill jobs overseas, and the cost of housing, healthcare, and education is spiraling upwards.
what's unions got to do with you needing to go to college to be allowed to cut someone's hair, or do any other low-skilled job that in any sane world would never require a diploma and could be done competently by a 14 year old after a couple of weeks or months of practice?
5% of the population should go to college, any more than that and you're being scammed.
Low-skilled blue collar workers are still guaranteed good wages via unions, and those that opt for college instead can get an education that's somewhat affordable and is actually worth something. Understand?
seems like you didn't understand the post
>what's unions got to do with you needing to go to college
You clearly didn't understand the original post you replied to, ESL monkey
the point wasn't about needing to go to college, it was about needing to go to college when you don't need to go to college for the education, but purely for the credentials. education being hard to obtain for poorer people is only a problem because of this. so mentioning it as a problem (which it only is for poor people) implies you don't understand this.
hope this clarified it for you
>need to go to college for the education, but purely for the credentials
A result of post-secondary education being devalued due to how easily accessible it is, especially with degree mills.
>so mentioning it as a problem (which it only is for poor people) implies you don't understand this.
It's a problem for everyone. Poor and middle class folks are shelling out thousands for an education that's worth less than ever to gain a marginal competitive edge in the marketplace.
Also another advantage boomers got was cash, most of you never paid youre right amount of tax. I dont blame you for this but its just another thing that newer generations are now getting fricked over that no generation for thousands of years had to nkmsydeal with
Gayest generation ever
a lot of it is do with the media which is created by disenchanted millennials who are also depressed and self loathing
Late stage capitalism
>OMG your millennials earn so much money now
homie i cant afford to rent a studio and i work full time
Boomers really think UPS drivers are earning $170K
LMAO
Most of us (on Cinemaphile at least) had absent father figures which made us the way we are. It’s why “fatherless behavior” has taken off as the latest memeword insult on here, because it’s partial projection and the person throwing the term around knows how hurtful (and apt) it is.
Go into any late night feels thread and make some post disparaging your father and you’ll get like 30+ anons commiserating with you. It’s insane.
>. It’s why “fatherless behavior” has taken off as the latest memeword insult on here, because it’s partial projection and the person throwing the term around knows how hurtful (and apt) it is.
Yeh man it actually stings and I can't admit it.
>He now thinks its $170K + benefits
Im getting a migraine
No he’s baiting you
You can get 170K for being a delivery driver? Where? Mount olympus? Fricking sign me up,
>Just apply to be the janitor at JP Morgan Chase and work you way up to be Vice President of Emerging Markets Equities
This is unironically how boomers think the world works
The funniest part is that they won't even hire you as a janitor unless you're israeli or non-white. There's a reason why most get rejected from applying for jobs online. Their software instantly rejects it if you're white, male, white male, etc.
Buying power went down, things got more expensive and wages have barely changed. There’s nothing to argue with delusional morons who still think “working your way up” is a thing.
It was very alienating to become addicted to the internet when no grown-up knew what it was. At the same time, it didn't give me any power, because the internet barely influenced society. There was no social media. This was also before streaming or even YouTube. I torrented hundreds of films and watched those instead of TV. Rather than being more interesting because I had more things to talk about, I just seemed very eccentric and out of the loop.
These Spotify and TikTok kids are living in a completely different universe.
The world is shit.
Isn't he a gen X?
Do you think chef's at Wendy's earn $100k?
if theyre part of the burger union
Walmart lower level managers clear $100k and they have a culture of promoting store managers from within.

No but if you constantly make shit up and have nothing to back it up (You) just look like a flailing moron

>I must now strawman to feel like ive got the upper hand
I was talking about Wendy's chefs. Also no they dont
Divorce/separated parents is probably the biggest reason millennials and really any other generation after that are so fricked up. Selfish parents destroy any semblance of a stable family life and wonder why their kids end up as apathetic sociopaths.
X treated them like Millenials treat zoomers and zoomers will treat alphas.
We're the first generation to inherit a world that was objectively worse than what came before it. We ended a centuries-long pattern of improvement and were the first to have to grapple with the fact that almost everything is worse than it used to be and that everything continues to get worse in such a profound, omnipresent way that to turn things around is a laughably idyllic notion.
I can't imagine the sheer fricking joy of previous generations who watched the world improve itself every single day. Now we just have to watch this rotting log grow more and more infested until we die unceremoniously and frustrated.
There were 3 decades where the world was on the brink of nucular war.
And? Economically and socially speaking society was dramatically better than they are now.
>Economically
Inflation in the 80s was worse than today. There was gas rationing. Whereas the 20s were the greateet bull run in history.
>Socially
Nonquantifiable buzzword.
For the record UPS is the only delivery company paying remotely close to what they're paying, getting into them is like being a made man and you have to work part time in the warehouse for years. Fedex ground pays a day rate of like $130/day and express pays like $18/hr MAYBE.
There have been several generations to see the world get worse. Imagine growing up in the late 20s/30s as the economy sorts itself out after the great depression and then witnessing ww2 frick up everything. I think what makes it so bad for us is to see all the old geriatric morons consistently vote for the world to become worse.
Every single issue showcases that the older generations don't give a frick and only care about themselves and getting richer. Covid has to be the worst example of this where everything shut down so that a few old fricks wouldn't have to worry about dying in their 80s and could continue to leech of the public sector while complaining that taxes are too high.
It's impossible to see that and be optimistic about the world and people. By the time all the old fricks actually do die off it will be too late so they don't ever have to live in the shambles of a world they've created.
>ww2 frick up everything.
But after that there was a massive economic boom and more opportunities than ever for the working man. Not to mention in UK the creation of the welfare state, NHS and council houses
Yeah but they were hardly feeling that way at the time.
Like you can't say "oh yeah you millennials have it bad now but there's about to be a huge economic boom so get over it".
>oh yeah you millennials have it bad now but there's about to be a huge economic boom so get over it
any day....
I have it under good authority that it should happen in about two weeks.
Boomers and megacorps have pretty much skullfricked the economy. Most Zoomers just accept the shit sandwich because it's all they know. They are content to just sit around watching tictok chink slop on their phones so they don't have to think about it. Millennials saw the world as it used to be, and watched it collapse around them.pretty much the only way for millennials to get anywhere in life is to just wait for their families to die, and hope they weren't moronic enough to hand over their generational wealth to some damn poojeet needful
What year(s) do millennials see as the point of no return for the world turning into the shitheap it is now?
Smart phones, social media, 08 crash, failure of occupy wall street in 2011 was the final nail in the coffin
2007
Final commodification of nerd-culture.
There is no escape for intellectualism as it becomes cannibalized into the mainstream through sexy people wearing thick blackrimmed glasses and imagining themselves smart and tasteful.
The wild west of the internet is waning, the railroads emerge.
Social Media takes hold.
Video games begin to mostly fricking suck total ass.
We have more time for self-reflection than ever, so moronic normies with zero spiritual fortitude or knowledge from growing up in a fake-christian atheist corporate culture, have no idea how to handle their own spiritual and mental hygiene.
