Good memes, bad memes, unite towards a united front.
Wupps, I did not mean to cross post this to the same community
Back before the election I kept seeing liberals on Reddit and elsewhere say shit like "everyone I know is better off than they've ever been before, Biden's economy is great!", meanwhile my friends are all either homeless or barely housed and dirt fucking poor.
Ayy, fellow Inkscape user!
My mother already had a flat which my grandparents got for free from Tito.

was having roomates even a thing 20-30 years ago?
For real, everyone I know in my generation is either living with their parents, sharing a rented apartment with 5 other people, or intermittently homeless.
And then the rented Apartment is way too tiny for the price and was originally designed to house 2 people max. but now more than that have to share it. Bonus points if there is only 1 tiny bathroom with a bathtub/shower that's from the late 80s and the kitchen is integrated into the already small living room.
When my parents first bought a home they had the option to get a free dishwasher and a free laundry machine with it because people couldn't sell their house if their lives depended on it. Then they sold that house for profit, buying their current house that they have been living in for nearly 20 years now. They bought this house cheap and managed to get some profit off their previous sale as well.
Their current house is now worth somewhere between 500 and 600k. It is up nearly 300k from the purchase price. There is no way you can get such an increase in wealth in the same amount of time by just working. And the wages are stagnant. I will never be able to do what they have done in our current syste.
My landlady bought the house we currently live in, in 2000, for £95K. She recently had it valued and they said it's worth £375K, and would be worth £425K if she had the issues with it fixed.
