Boomers didn’t “work harder.”
They were literally paid in gold, while college and houses cost pennies.
In 1964 — when the first Boomers turned 18 — the federal minimum wage was worth $146/hr in 2025 dollars when measured in gold.
- A full year of college took ~180 hours of min-wage work (one summer).
- The median U.S. house took ~1,350 hours (8 months).
In 2024, a Zoomer at the same age got $15/hr in gold terms.
-Same year of college now costs 20,000+ hours of min-wage work.
-Median house? 56,000 hours — 27 straight years.

🚨 NEW: Netflix secretly recorded an interview with Dr. Jane Goodall in March, set to air only after her death.
In it, she says she wishes Trump and Elon Musk could be blasted into space… and closes with:
“Don’t lose hope.”
Now that’s a final message.
@ByungChulHarden The encouragement to isolate from other humans and rely only on tech is intentional: we are weak, exploitable and profitable apart. The more you buy into it the more you’ll need it so they can collect more data to profit off you.
Go out, make friends, live a real life, connect.
