Things are still shit in the HOOD.

Not where I have lived and I probably lived in many more and larger cities than you ever have. So, no, I can't agree with you, that's not what I experienced. Perhaps you expose yourself to too much social media that you hear of all those horrific young people who try to make your life miserable...

I said BIG-BOX, which is where most retail workers work. Maybe you live in some podunk town where there is no business, but in dense areas, nobody gives a shit about their jobs.
 
Perhaps it's you who gets paid way too much for looking out the window all day. And what do you know about that guy? He could as well have retired early and have 100 times as much in his bank account as you do. He probably sat there and laughed about that depressed looking dude looking out the office building on the opposite of the road.

From my office window in downtown Denver, I (unfortunately) look into a block of neighboring apartments. New guy, 30ish, moved in on the 5th floor. Today, I watched him smoke weed from a bong on his porch on 3 occasions over the 5.5 hours I was at my desk. He was "working from home", I guess?

I am talking about it from the inside. Did you ever actually work retail, and watch how lazy your co-workers were?
 
What you don't get Bugsy? If they don't take the job then you pay for massive social welfare through tax increases to the tune of trillions. The economy is glued together by people who work menial jobs at pitiful wages. Or who picks up your trash or picks your oranges? I don't understand why we are stuck in this conversation. To me this is a total no-brainer. Are you happier with 40 to 60 million unemployed who you need to pay for via welfare because they would otherwise crawl across your wall, break into your home, and take what they need to prevent them and their families from dying. The currently defined poverty line cannot even be reached with 7 dollar something wages.

If you prefer for everyone with a good job or business to hire a host of personal security and 20 foot high walls and an arsenal of automatic rifles to defend yourself against the guaranteed onslaught then be my guest. Because the drama already plays out in Realtime right in front of our eyes. You really think thugs are gonna stay in the inner cities forever? At some time they are gonna come for you and your wife and your kids. Not just to feed themselves. But to revenge the blatant ignorance of the few at the top end of the ladder. Most every other western nation gets it and strives for a fairer society where the middle class is well taken care of and motivated. Only in the US are workers treated like shit and spat on in exchange for their labor just because they don't have that shiny ridiculous little graduation certificate hanging on their walls. It comes down to an utter disrespect and ignorance towards those in our midst who are less fortunate or even those who made more mistakes than us. Unforgiveness and resentment is what will break the camel's back. A siloed society where those who don't belong in our circle can as well die right away.

Nice hyperbole. I'll take shit that will never happen for $500 Alex. Kind if like the civil wR if Trump lost and why BLM and ANTIFA magically stay the fuck out of places like Texas and Florida while only being brave enough to try their shit in places like Seattle and Portland. You want to know the awesome part about Texas? In Texas ex-convicts that have served their time and have been off if paper can legally own a gun for home defense. It doesn't matter though, because that soft ass generation isnt going to do shit except keep talking and talking on Twitter and Reddit, and never actually do shit. Theyve been doing it since their 20s and are now creeping towards their 40s. A useless generation almost universally agreed on by all other generations, even Gen Z, who are far more competent imo.
 
I hate to cast aspersions upon an entire generation, and obviously not all millenials are duds, but there was definitely something in the Kool-aid that their boomer parents gave them.
Gotta blame the parents.(And maybe the education system) They let the little shits grow up thinking like that.
 
No dude, I shop retail. I never worked retail. Only those who worked retail can get it? What's your point. If they were so lazy then Amazon warehouses would crush, oranges won't yet picked and squeezed, your meat won't be butchered. Your clothing won't hang in the retail stores ready for you to pick. They are nowadays all millennials or gen z. Pretty much anything you buy today is made or sold by millennials and Gen Z. We can be easily deceived by what media we expose ourselves to. Perhaps you are just a bit grumpy when you saw some low life with gold chains and a wad of bills in his hands in the last MTV video?

Do lazy people exist? Sure. More than before? Perhaps. Has all gone to shit because of the younger generation? Lol, not by any stretch of imagination. Things have gone to shit because a few at the top are sucking the last drop of blood out of the economy and everyone else around them. And because politicians are completely complicit and nobody has a motivation to end this power and cash grab. That is what ruined it for all of us. What motivation is left when all opportunities are stolen through nepotism, corruption, and slick financiers who produce nothing of value other than "projections".

Read Piketty when you find time, that guy won the Nobel price, he knows a thing or two.

Ola, the right wing axe is swung. Alright. Here we are. So it's right vs left for you. I don't think there is a cure. I bow out.

Btw, ARKK is now down as much from the 2021 peak as it was from its 2020 peak pre-covid.

43-45%...ish. Not sure about the accuracy of the data and that bottom tail. But, Cathie Woods might be setting records on loosing people's money. (2) 45% drawdowns for 2 years straight. A real life Pied Piper.
