They really mean "I can't save enough money to meaningfully change my lifestyle or advance my status in an amount of time I feel is reasonable."

Basically they are lamenting that the American dream is dead, or a lie, and that they will always be working and never live the lifestyles portrayed by their favorite influencers.

There is some truth to the idea that many people will never own as much property or live as lavishly as their parents did however.

Please explain the pedo charge. She was 17 right? Age of consent is 17, even 16 in many states.

She was a sexually mature woman. At worst she was stupid for agreeing but that is not a crime.

I made no claims about myself either way. I pointed out a cultural reversal that has been a long time coming.

It literally is this way. America has ignored the plight of poor working class whites by grouping them with elite whites and treating them as one privileged group.

Then they focused on elevating nonwhites non Christians and homosexuals to higher social and economic standing not realizing or simply choosing to ignore that most white people really arent that much better off than non whites if you remove elites from the statistics.

So to poor white Americans this seems like a free pass or line jump for everybody else and we are now living through the political reaction to this injustice.

You can't tell 65% of your population to step aside without some repercussions.

Enjoy the madness.

Lmao why do people think quoting laws and statutes will do anything. It's like pointing to a school code of conduct while a bully has your head in a toilet.

It doesn't matter what the laws say. No one is going to enforce them against this president or his admins and if they tried no police or military force would enact their orders. Trump is above the law. It's gameover.
