For the first time in our nation's history, a 30-year-old... isn't doing as well their parents were at 30.

The look on the MSNBC guy's face is priceless.

Limp wristed entitled 30 year olds voting for policies that screw them, and then complain they have no opportunities.

That sucks, but so do their voting habits.

What were people getting degrees in 30 years ago in comparison?

That difference in income might be connected to a difference in knowledge. Young adults today may or may not be dumber but they are definitely more poorly educated. I've played golf with 30 y.o. college graduates who couldn't add a few single digit numbers in their head. They had to use a calculator after the round to get their score.

Guess that strategy to be a YouTuber or living the van life through their 20s didn’t work out.

Because the dumbasses run up 6 figures in student loan debt on bullshite gender studies and liberal arts degrees that don't translate into good earning potential in the real world. So now they can't move out of their parents' house because they went so deep in debt just to become a barista at Starbucks alongside some high school students.

And too busy caring about the woke cause of the day instead of stuff that actually matters in their daily life.

And they think the answer is to tax the rich into oblivion so the government can squander the money, again.

Just a flurry of brain dead, lead-poisoned boomer takes in here.

Well my father made 50k/yr in 1970 which equates to roughly 400k/year today. I make over 100k which equates to roughly 5k/year in 1970.

Not that hard to figure out why we are struggling...

A significant reason this may be so is that the 30 year old’s parents generally have done so well. The bar is set much higher than it was when the boomers were seeking to exceed the level of prosperity enjoyed by their Depression-era parents.

What about the 30 year olds in the Great Depression?

Millennial or Whiny Generation:
"frick OLD PEOPLE"

Millennial or Whiny Generation:
**Votes for old politicians**

Hey dumbass get your damn head out of your arse

On another note I'm sure the national debt is playing a part role in this unaffordable issue we have
