That like um lyke makes them really mad and they tend to not vote for you...actually."

@spacemanspiff @Red_Hat @Chzikken_1486 @WTFPurpleAlpaca The average boomer conservative retard thinks kids are struggling these days because they had avocado toast for breakfast or they bought a starbucks coffee on their way to work.
They shouldn’t have bought food this week
@s2208 @Red_Hat @spacemanspiff @Chzikken_1486 @WTFPurpleAlpaca Boomers say shit like this and then wonder why the "Islamo-Commie Nazis" are gaining popularity
that and $25.95 in the bank even three times a week would lead to a better outcome than a $28 lunch or whatever you hate imaginary people for having.
but you don't want t the $25.95 for a down payment. you want it for other things you think you deserve because EQUITY or something. can't you just get a job in HR?
$25.95 for a down payment?

What you do is save 50$, take that down to the city hall and register to run for Mayor. Then you can put a 5% annual property tax on the boomers and give jobs to all of the boys...
Y'all need the Irish guy to tell you how it's done...

Seriously though, skyrider is right. I mean... if the down payment was $30k, you'd only have to skip three meals a day for a year. If you can't do that, you don't deserve a house.
> skip three meals a day for a year
Yeah you do that, I'm gonna run for mayor and my cousin's got the construction company.

@cjd @Humpleupagus @Red_Hat @s2208 @spacemanspiff @Chzikken_1486 @Terry @WTFPurpleAlpaca Boomers are struggling to afford basic necessities in retirement and are having to go back to work. Really they just need to stop buying the expensive Fancy Feast and switch to store brand cat food.
@BarelyEagle @cjd @Humpleupagus @Red_Hat @s2208 @spacemanspiff @Chzikken_1486 @Terry @WTFPurpleAlpaca I need to save this and start posting it when a Boomer on Gab starts that lazy zoomer BS.
The gap between true inflation and government reported inflation is the money they're not going to pay out in Social Security.
Boomers laughing at Zoomers over $20 burritos are gonna end up eating cat food.

I don't really know what a burrito's supposed to cost, but I remember 89 cent burgers, and $4 burgers, and $8 burgers, and I guess it's like $10 now (?)
The Hundred Dollar Hamburger seems like an impenetrable wall, but is it really?
What's the chance we really get to $100 for a burger or a burrito in our lifetimes?

@cjd @Humpleupagus @Red_Hat @s2208 @cjd @BarelyEagle @Chzikken_1486 @James_Dixon @Terry @WTFPurpleAlpaca
what does it matter when it’s fiat money? $100 for a burger is nothing when you’ll get $50,000 per month UBI.
a better measure is how many hours does the person work to afford the burger. and I would bet that’s less favorable than it used to be. yet somehow the burger places stay in business.
Right but median salaries tend to track government reported CPI index. Social Security *certainly* tracks government reported CPI index.
The problem is that the CPI has become this fictitious imaginary thing that has absolutely nothing to do with real world costs anymore. They're claiming inflation is 5% but people are showing real prices have doubled over the past couple of years.
So yes, they are making everyone poorer.

It might hit home to him a little harder when he realizes the gap between true inflation and what the government reports is the amount of money that he's never gonna see out of the social security administration...
No. He's a boomer who has to justify the fact the government created the environment in which he was able to bank roll his life and to the disbenefit of later generations.
He believes he did it all himself. He created what he has ex nihilo. He's an island.

As for what that true inflation rate is? https://chapwoodindex.com/

In 2026, the melt value is closer to $60
1966 median income $7,400
1966 big mac cost: $0.45
1966 median income: 16,444 big macs
2026 median income: $90,000
2026 big mac cost: $8
2026 median income: 11,250 big macs
That's including every advancement, all of the automation, the low wage work, the lower quality meat etc. STILL, that is a 31% decline in the standard of living, just talking about big macs.

Big Macs are shitty compared to when I used to eat them 40 years ago. Not a good measure.
Sure, they debased the big mac with cheap ingredients and cheap labor as much as they could, to hide inflation.
But even despite all of that, Americans are STILL getting poorer when measured in big macs....

@cjd @Humpleupagus @Red_Hat @s2208 @spacemanspiff @BarelyEagle @Chzikken_1486 @James_Dixon @Terry @WTFPurpleAlpaca Easy and guaranteed.
Houses went from 20,000 to 800,000 in my lifetime.
Burgers went from .29 to 15.00.
A factor of ten for BEEF?
Easy.

Also 20% down if you don't want to pay mortgage insurance. That's federal law.

I remember 15cent burgers, and a combo meal for $0.95. The slogan was "A full meal, and change back from a dollar."
I was a little too young, but I remember hearing that slogan from my dad.
$11.50ish is the burger index rn

A big mac is probably around $6 in most areas now. See https://macmenuprices.com/ since McDonald's demands you download their app to see prices.
>The Hundred Dollar Hamburger seems like an impenetrable wall, but is it really?
With 3% inflation prices double every 24 years, more or less. So 96 years will give you a $96 big mac. Of course real inflation is quite a bit more than 3%.

For now. Let's see in about 7 years when the savings bonds run out. 😈
The shock effect on most boomers is going to be like nothing else they've ever experienced.

@James_Dixon @BarelyEagle @cjd @Humpleupagus @Red_Hat @s2208 @spacemanspiff @Chzikken_1486 @Terry @WTFPurpleAlpaca I've had some get quite angry when I tried to explain "their money" is not sitting in some isolated account just for them. Yes, you can log into an account. Yes, you can see a number there denominated in dollars assigned to you. No, it's not "yours" in any sense of that word.
They just refuse to get it.

Right but the difference is that Zoomers can use their hands and their backs and they'll find a way to survive. Boomers will die.

@BarelyEagle @cjd @Humpleupagus @Red_Hat @s2208 @spacemanspiff @Chzikken_1486 @Terry @WTFPurpleAlpaca I buy lunch meat or chicken in the can. The cat loves it and it's cheaper than cat food.
PLUS I can eat it.
