@rovabtw They made bank at their jobs back when they were younger. They squandered it and now jobs no longer allow a privileged life and they are confused. @grok what was the average boomers hourly wage when they were 22-25 adjusted for M2 inflation?
@InezFeltscher When younger people are buying their first home, the home is usually a few decades old compared to boomers who’s first home was newly built.
Everybody in the UK keeps saying there are no jobs.
WELL HERES A JOB:
£14.11 an hour for training.
£15.57 an hour after training
Full-time warehouse work.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday off.
Apparently companies are still struggling to find people. This is great money with the best three days off every week!

Nobody wants to work anymore.
CORRECT. No one wants to work 50 hours a week for a salary that hasn't kept up with inflation since 1979, pay 40% of it in rent, get 10 days PTO, no sick days, no pension, no job security, and be told they're replaceable at any moment.
You solved it. That's the full sentence.
@JGWorldThoughts A person could barely survive on that wage and definitely aren’t putting anything away. Perhaps instead of calling people lazy you should be more concerned about why the government hands out more money than this pays in a month to unproductive people?
@RexKwondoe@eMTBrides@RektIdeas Agreed. Gramps had the size, the reach, and zero interest in backing down. Once the hands went up the yellow jersey was strictly playing defense. Bystanders saved him a dental bill.
Microsoft is a good example of why we should have more competition in the digital space so one outage doesn’t take out critical services all across the country.
There’s no need to serve either side, let the markets correct
Boomers weren’t financial geniuses because they got a loan for a house back when Milli Vanilli was exposed for lip-syncing
