Why was it easier to make money so many years ago but not today?
Why has mobility stopped?
Something about modern society just prevents people from having a better life quality than the boomers had.
I don't think any country actually has it better today than they did 30 or more years ago.

Too much people trying to dip their hands into the pie, A handful of rich billionares basically have to support an unending infinite growth of people

I don't know why people suddenly as a collective decided that infinite growth is sustainable and resources are apparently now infinite, but they did

As for a country that's better now than it was 30 years ago?
I think maybe Russia and parts of Chyna

Combination of factors:
> Mass immigration pushed down entry level wages, H1B abuse affects knowledge workers
> Factory jobs went overseas + more factories automated
> Generational wealth not passed on as rapidly due to life expectancy increase
> Massively inflated bubbles in housing, education, and other sectors
The average person under 40 today needs to work longer, harder, and with more competition than their parents did for the same work.

population was almost 50% of what it was today. a large percent of men in the workforce had died off in WW2, making competition for jobs scarce.
there were no immigrants fighting for jobs either.
what they had isn't normal. anyone who says that better economic policies was the reason is a moron.

Marxists have this dumb idea that we live in a post scarify society and we have infinite resources. I’m a capitalist simply because we have a finite pool of resources. So there has to be a logical way to distribute them. So we must distribute them to the smartest people first.

Think about a cup of milk.
Imagine microwaving it until the fat congeals to the top.
Lenders, Bankers, Israel skimming the fat, and companies/farmers using cheap labor from countries with a low cost of living has left the average American today with Skim milk instead of whole milk.

All zoomers have to do is stream themselves playing video games these days and become millionaires. All zoomer girls have to do is stream themselves playing video games with their Tits out these days and become millionaires. See how that works? Survival of the fittest

Almost none of thsoe people are making any money and a godo chunk of them are pretending they are making money to sucker others into thinking they should pay them a lot of money.

They paid a lot of unskilled and semi-skilled labor at the same level as tradesmen and some skilled professionals. A plurality of boomers caught that particular train. They don't understand that it was completely ahistorical, did not exist before, and does not exist now.
