Social Security, 401k, savings, investments, insurance, etc., all possible with a job.
They lack the dedication and patience to even stay on the job or site for extended periods of time..They're too fickle to put long term goals into fruition.

They don't want to work for the opportunities available.
Somebody served them the narrative they didn't have to.
Voting away inheritance rights for property taxes will hurt them in twenty years.
Cities aren't being built fast enough, so the economy is locked in urban areas.
New apartments won't make rent cheaper if people aren't leaving them for houses.
Slow housing development, racist and corporate real estate practices, and comfortable renters...
Gen Alpha won't be able to afford rent. By the time millennials inherit US politics, they're going to try to bring in a strong welfare state that won't be sustainable... because people either won't want to work or will be unable from AI. Career type jobs are hiring because their force is aging out.
The opportunity is there.

It's crazy seeing some of you turn into the young nikka turned old-head conservative trope, 20 years ago ya'll would've been the crazy old cats on the porch telling kids to pull their pants up and shyt lmao.
No point in trying to educate the old and ignorant though, practically speaking they matter a whole lot less in society and they're more stuck in their ways so it's a waste of effort. Radicalizing the kiddies to change is a much better use of time.

Got a nice view of the lake across the street and a 4 block walk to the beach.

Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Bristol aren't major cities?
Let me correct myself, we have other cities but due to lack of investment they are way behind infrastructure wise and cannot support mass migration.
We also struggle to push through on projects such as HS2 that would make connecting these cities easier
HS2: Parts of rail project to be delayed for two years
The legs from Birmingham to Crewe and on to Manchester will be delayed due to further spiralling costs as inflation soars. An extra route to Leeds was scrapped in 2021.

America has much better options in that sense and so does alot of Europe.

Unfortunately because of technology the boomers are going to live another good 20-30 years. Gonna be interesting if there is not a complete societal breakdown what the millennials are going to do once they start accruing power. Might have a late Roman republic situation.

Real talk, you should pay *some* attention to what's going on in Japan. That country is a canary in the cave mine when it comes to society/economic issues. For an example:

Even if you can find a job that pays well you're labor is still getting stolen by corporatists who turn the cogs in the machine. Trades and the like are still undervalued even if they pay a livable wage.
Our dollar is hyperinflated because our government has been turning on the money printer for years whenever some corporate welfare is due or they need to heighten their imperialistic endeavors, while little of it meets the hands of the public. Wages are stagnant because labor exploitation increases profits and raises stock valuations, and due to slowing innovation and room for growth dwindling (seriously, how much bigger can some of these corps realistically get?), exploitation is becoming the main way some of these companies grow, and unfortunately they set the market for wages across the board. Public schools are being financially gutted and absolutely devastated, which means our kids are coming out equipped with less skills than ever to get jobs. Our communities need doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc. but the risk/reward for higher education is so off that more of our brightest will SETTLE for trades because economic uncertainties are too great even with a degree(not to mention that black children will especially be burdened since affirmative action has been overturned smh).
We are getting exploited no matter how our lives may look right now, and telling people to just suck it up pause and work harder, while trying to disengage them from the political process is grossly irresponsible. Telling people to join the military to make a decent living is grossly irresponsible because that's effectively does what the system wants lower class people(and black people specifically) to do; become crash test dummies for white global imperialism. Seriously, they're trying to force us out of anything meaningful in this country and turn us either into foot soldiers, or prisoners who get extracted for actual slave labor.
Do what you can in this country, work hard in the mean time and provide yourself with the best life you can, but we HAVE to complain, we have to engage and we have to mobilize because even if you can work out a good life for yourself, you're still getting taken advantage of if you haven't assimilated into the ruling class. Exploitation is exploitation, and I'm not gonna sit there and willingly take dikk just because life may be good for me.

They ain't trying to listen to Lloyd Banks, he ain't poppin' no moreWhy is everyone IGNORING THIS POST???
That's not the case for me, I WANT fixer upper because I hate how these flippers have painted all these houses "Gentrification Gray", I can do my own thing and don't want to pay for half-assed rehabs. But the fixer uppers are priced crazy. I've been tracking tons of homes in my city and there were programs the city put in place for home builders but they were taken advantage of during COVID. I spoke on it in the past but, they had a program where empty lots were supposed to be sold for affordable houses to be built on. The land was sold for around $500 when land normally is $20k. The houses were supposed to be built in the $130k range by the developers because those were the conditions of the program....one these companies bought over 40 parcels of land and built $400k houses around the city where the next door neighbor house has an appraisal value of $80k. The "cheap" ones they built were $170k and those are right in the middle of the hood.
I know some of y'all look at these numbers like it's affordable but I also mentioned before that Sherwin Williams was paying $14hr for chemists and required a chemistry degree. So that's the type of wages that are out here. Which is why I said the median income is crazy low here. I remember seeing a now hiring sign at Hobby Lobby offering $12hr and these the types of income the majority of folks have because the poverty rate is so high.
Those houses that could be fixed are too far gone they'd have to be razed and on top of thst the neighborhoods are HORRIBLE. There are bodies in alot of those abandoned properties too, it's just all bad. I can see why younger folks have no hope because the stuff is going down in real-time.

I can believe it about that program. It’s like builders only know how to make two kinds of housing across the country. Those mix use brick apartments and those 3 bedroom houses with creaky floors.That's not the case for me, I WANT fixer upper because I hate how these flippers have painted all these houses "Gentrification Gray", I can do my own thing and don't want to pay for half-assed rehabs.

As for the bolded. This is how they create urban sprawl.
All these gentrified, expensive white neighborhoods used to be those horrible neighborhoods with fixer uppers.
There’s no such thing as bad neighborhoods. There is communities you will invest in and communities you won’t invest in.
The problem going forward is less people want to live further out just because of the cost so these “bad areas” are getting buttressed against these new apartment and subdivisions.
