  • This is an AI generated article.

    It’s sole piece of ‘evidence’ for this claim is that millennials are earning 17+% more on average, per household, than previous generations were at the same age. This is an inflation adjusted number, but that’s it

    No consideration mentioned for the difference in the average cost of living between generations, which is the entire fucking complaint millennials have been making.

    Yes, I earn six figures a year and am debt free whereas my father wasn’t anywhere close to that at my age. My dad also didn’t have to clip coupons to be able to afford $7 boxes of cereal and $5 half-gallons of milk.

    Also, the American Enterprise Institute is quoted. Lmao.

    Dumb fucking “article”.



  • I don’t think you’re wrong for noticing that trend, but I don’t think it should be a trend we follow. A country that prides itself on freedom and equality (under the law) should probably buck the trend that says “because of where you come from, you must be treated differently.”

    It’s not that it’s not a reasonable thing to do, but that it conflicts with our stated ideals.

    One thing I like about Americans is that wherever you go in the country, there’s usually not the same international trend of a “foreigner’s price” for things. Turks, Brits, and Yanks all pay the same for a New York hotdog, ya know?





  • And every single one of those companies has gone through rounds of layoffs in 2025. Not only that, but each one of them had released statements saying that their layoffs were (paraphrasing) “strategic reductions in force” unrelated to economic factors.

    Which is a long way of stating the obvious: corporate tax cuts don’t encourage job growth. Even if that stupid theory were true, companies would have eliminated chunks of their workforce with or without the tax breaks because AI investments (/gambles) are majorly driving this iteration.
