I don't think that they think that. I do think that they think you don't deserve a house if you work at McDonalds.

[–] Blum0108@lemmy.world 86 points 3 days ago

Or health care, or food and clothing

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 71 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This exactly. Their excuse is that these jobs are for teenagers, meaning that they should be exploited.

[–] arrow74@lemm.ee 54 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They call it a job for teenagers, but will actually have a meltdown if mcdonalds isn't open during school hours. God help if they have to wait 2 minutes because staff is low

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why do you think they're rolling back child labor laws? Karen just has to have her McFlurry at 9am

[–] edvardgm@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago

I Love every person on tv that hates something, its a women around 50-70 year old xD.

[–] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 days ago

Why would a teenager need a house anyway ?

[–] Wanpieserino@lemm.ee 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You can still buy a house by working at McDonald's. All you need to do is leaving your country. Here's a nice house in Tanjung Pinang, Bintan, Indonesia.

25000 euros.

How much does McDonald's in Indonesia pay?

I doubt it's enough to buy a 25000 euro house. And if you're talking about McDonald's in the US then I'm guessing not much is left over after food and rent in order to save the 25k.

Buy McDonald's stock, fire the CEO and hire someone cheap.

No one can help when they are born.

Except maybe time travellers

I don't know the doctor doesn't even really get to pick much the tardis just takes him whenever

[–] SSNs4evr@leminal.space 28 points 2 days ago

Boomer: What?! Just walk into the building, go up to the receptionist or bossman, and demand to be interviewed for a job, and fill out an application form. Refuse to leave without a job offer. They'll be so impressed by your dedication, they can't do anything else, but to hire you! What are you waiting for?

"when I was your age I made -half- what they're paying at mcdonalds now, and I paid for a car, a house, college, and and supported my wife and three kids with it!"

me: blood pressure increases

I've found it effective to follow this with, "yes, now you're starting to understand the problem"

[–] solomon42069@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

"Yeah and houses were 1/20th of what they are now. Sit down and shut up grandma, you stupid old racist cunt."

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

When you were my age you could buy a house for less than the deposit on a rented bedroom.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

When you were my age

...when rich people eventually get medical immortality, that can be used both ways!

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Immortality doesn't protect you from Luigi.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

We really need more Luigis.

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I know old americans are the one saying this but this is not at all an americans problem. I work in an office, I make very good money, don't pay rent amd have no kids so all my money should go to investing right? Well I bought a flat (not even a house) and I pay 80% of my salary (i'll say it again it's considered very very good) in a short mortage. It wont last 30 years but fuck if this is not extremely expensive

[–] django@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 days ago

If only I wouldn't eat so much avocado toast.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

Lol, change it to "buy groceries and pay rent" and it still works

[–] dryfter@lemm.ee 18 points 2 days ago

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 52 points 3 days ago

How much could a house cost? $10?

[–] rayyy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

In reality many people who were boomers lived in shacks, some with no plumbing and dirt floors, until the 60's when liberal economics began to fully kick in. Reagan, and Republicans have schemed very hard to bring back those "good old days'. Try reading some actual history of that time. Bonus, if you actually talk to a boomer who lived through hard times.

[–] mydoomlessaccount@infosec.pub 19 points 2 days ago

I don't know why, but I really love the idea of representing Millenials as Shrek and Gen Z as Donkey, and that's how I'm gonna see us from now on.

You guys have fun fuckin' that dragon. I'm gonna go angrily bathe in my filth pool. ❤️

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

It blows my mind that gen z is old enough to be stuck in this mess with us.

The only chance I ever had to own a home was taking over the one I grew up in from my parents. I couldn’t raise my kids there though. The neighborhood went from being a nice little mining town to meth as currency town.

Good luck you guys. Maybe y’all can work on the boys following Andrew Tate off of a cliff and get this world going in the right direction.

Shit, in 40 years us millennials will finally be old enough to hold elected office. Hahahahaha

"That's only a job for high schoolers"

Also, "fuck you, got mine"

[–] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

"So you want McDonalds to close during school hours?"

[–] Toes@ani.social 19 points 3 days ago

Only if you can afford a 50% down payment of 2 million.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago

How I bought a house: Don't learn to drive, rent a bedroom for like 8 years to save up a deposit.

Where I live is considered incredibly cheap by city people.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You can get a house working in McDonald's.

You just need to be the sole heir of someone who owns a house and either be patient, or proactive.
