I’m sure there’s numbers & graphs that tell the story, but it’s hard to really convey just how much purchasing power we’ve lost. Things like owning a home & having kids with only a single income - yeah, that was normal. And now it’s gone.

My personal example is I was able to buy a new car in the 90s fresh out of college. Today, I’m making more money than ever, and yet somehow a new car just isn’t an option. I’ve been priced out of the market. And it’s like that for… everything.

And yet, somehow my government tells me inflation is fine.

So much defeatism! You can still get a house like that for cheap. Just cut out the avocado toast, ask Mom for a six figure loan, then find a gem property in the local airport flight path, next to a slaughterhouse, an AI data center, built on reclaimed landfill, and across the state highway from a pet sematary. You can get it for under a million easy!

That’s what I did, and I’m living the dream. My reanimated dog gets sick every time he drinks from the oily puddles of blood and liquid fat that bubble from the ground constantly, but I did it, I own a home!

Peg was hot and wanted to get it on too
