@dany @quinoacat Dany, the customer isn’t always right. Businesses don’t need customers like that to survive.

And most importantly, businesses have the right to refuse anyone for any reason.

@Jesusarmy @Finance_Nerd_ The rich are figuring out a way to never die. Trans humanism. AI will make it possible.

The “16% mortgage rate” argument is a textbook example of historical distortion through omission. Let’s break the illusion:

Yes, rates were 16% in 1981 - for a few quarters.
But the median home price was $70K.
And median income was about $21K.
That’s a 3.3x price-to-income ratio, even at peak rates.

Today? Median home price is ~$430K. Median income ~$60K.
That’s 7.2x price-to-income - more than double the burden.

Even with lower interest rates today,
the actual monthly cost of housing is higher, and the duration of debt slavery is longer.

And that’s before we account for:
•No student debt in 1981
•Single-income households buying homes
•Employer-provided pensions
•Healthcare tied to stable employment
•No gig economy, no $1,200 rent for a 300 sq ft box

Now let’s address Vietnam. Yes, war is horrific. But here’s the trap:
Using selective trauma to deny systemic decay is a diversion tactic.
You can’t compare mandatory conscription with
an entire generation locked out of asset ownership forever.

This isn’t about “who had it worse”
It’s about who inherited a functioning system
and who inherited a collapsing simulation.

Stop pretending the current generation is soft.
They’re resilient inside a rigged structure
where every ladder has been pulled up
and every escape hatch monetized.

You want honesty? Here it is:
Past generations struggled to survive.
Ours struggles to belong in a world they no longer own.

That’s the difference. And that’s the whole point.
