Strip away the value increases solely due to lower interest rates, printing money inflating values, etc and US has had 2 decades of shit. The only reason many (top 10%) Americans dont mind it is that their assets have benefited massively from low rates and money inflation. The next 20% or so are kinda neutral on it because they "Soon" will be in the top 10% that benefits, and the remaining 70% are too dumb to even process whats going on with anything that has more than 1 year timeframe.

the few who understand the central banking system will either be so interested in its profits or so beholden to its favors that youll see no opposition from them. let me control the money supply and i dont care who writes the laws.

something like that

dont learn history doomed to repeat it blah blah

we also now have loans that are not legally loans available through your phone so you can buy your delivered Chipotle over 4 easy payments (no interest as long as you always pay on time!).

basically that

This is all completely true, and yet paradoxically thanks to vast technological advancements and the mass commoditization of the fruits of those advancements, even most "poor" people in American in 2026 enjoy lives of superficial material wealth and creature comforts that would seem unfathomably "rich" and decadent to even the wealthiest people who were alive 100 years ago -- up and including enjoying healthcare services that would literally sound like science fiction to billionaires a century ago. (And yet most people today are also far lonelier and much more spiritually impoverished than ever before in human history.)

It's all pretty fascinating.

most of the "advances" are utter shit like we have more food and calories but its all jew slop processed garbage that none of our ancestors ever had to deal with. out clothes even are made of plastic garbage shit and last not even 9 months. the women look like trannie monsters, the ancients wld literally think they are some rodent subspecies of humans not something to rape and molest.

and the cold hard nigga truth is planes dont fly faster than 40-50 years ago. stuff like AC or washing machines or fridges arent that much better. ppl live in cardboard walled "homes" running shit gadgets pretending they are furking advanced, its furking retarded and a judaic hellhole

Not true.

Lots of legitimate improvements in medical tech in the last 25 years -- to say nothing of just how much "high speed internet to our phones" has FUNDAMENTALLY changed the level of decadent creature comforts that even poor retards can now enjoy. In 2000, you had to leave your house and drive to a restaurant or grocery store or a restaurant if you wanted to eat something; now retarded brown people will bring you food or groceries with a click of a button no matter how shitty the weather is outside and it will be there within an hour. In 2000, you had to leave your house and drive to a movie theater and sit next to obnoxious faggots to watch a movie, and you were limited to a small slate of available options that Hollywood pre-selected for you. Or you could stay home and hope something good just happened to be on TV (good luck). Now you have literally unlimited access to pretty much every film and show ever created in the last 100 years from your couch with a few clicks of a button. Those are just two of many such examples. FSD is another obvious example -- it's extremely easy to shit on Tesla or whatever and pretend that it's all a scam, but it's not. FSD is already better and safer than the average human driver in at least 99.9%+ of use cases, and although that final .1% is the toughest to crack, the gap is closing fast at this point. Are we going to pretend that living in a world with legitimate self-driving cars is not a huge tech and quality of life change from 2000?

Not saying any of that isn't deeply unhealthy and gay as shit on many levels, but it's a totally different world today and as far as actual daily lived experience goes, being "poor" in 2025 is in many superficial ways vastly superior to being "poor" in 2000. Pretending otherwise is just being contrarian for the sake of reiterating for the 10000000th time that the modern world is pretty shitty.

FSD is hopefully close and that will be a material change once good enough/adapted nationwide.

The former point is exactly the same as if you went on to say "I also like driving, so FSD also sucks in my opinion I consider it to be a step back actually."

Your personal subjective opinion on all of these changes is totally irrelevant to the larger question, as is mine. We're also both much smarter than the average retard and we're not at all representative of "average" modern society as a whole, so we shouldn't be unilaterally declaring what is and isn't a QOL improvement for average normies from their perspective.

The vast majority of retards in this country consider everything I listed above to be an improvement in their QOL (as proven by the fact that money talks and all of those services are extremely popular and profitable), and therefore it all needs to be counted as such for assessing whether the last decade has "sucked" compared to what life was like for the average normie in 2000 or whatever. Another example would be that I personally think the legalization of weed was a disaster for this country, but it's very clear that a supermajority of retards in America would disagree with me about that. Etc.

Q: Have you met most of what passes for "humanity" in America in 2026? The less interaction required with them, the better.

then when shit first started hitting the fan at least we were graduating college, and those that went to LS often graduated literally 1-2 years before ITE and getting majorly furked

and the last ten years of social trannisym and trump retardation havnt impacted us as much, those in HS dealing with 25% of students being faggots and trannies playing on ur basketball team and girls being even more judaic feminazi trash had it ROUGH and now they are furked by AI and never will accomplish shit

XO poasters are literally one in a million, we are the luckiest generation. life is great, u can do whatever u want folks. stop being a bitch

Zoomers objectively have it worse than us, but claiming that we're generationally luckier than the Boomers is retarded gay bullshit. Go back to Bangalore you drunk brown faggot.

You mean the literal top decile (in terms of education / wealth / "prestige" / income) of Millennials arguably had it better in some ways than the literal top decile of Boomers?

Wow, what an amazing victory for Millennials!

...just out of curiosity, how do the the other 90% of these two generations stack up?
