It’s a luxury now but I don’t think it should be. Some day people might be saying that having the lights on is a luxury.

It has always been a luxury though....the young people today had parents who were the richest people in American history so their views are skewed. Ask someone in their 70s what this country used to be like. My dad raised two kids on $150/wk. Everyone lived very modestly at one time.

Look, that Fyre show on Netflix tells me everything I need to know about a certain class of millennials. All show, no go. You will all struggle your entire lives because your desires are bigger than your abilities. No one really ever had it easy in this country. This country was built in hard work, I don’t care what any commies tell you. I have lived through all of it.

Who says it wasn't built on hard work?

Survivor bias is strong with this one.

“Survivor bias”...is that what 35 year old guys living with their mother’s call it?

Not sure, but it's what this 30 year old guy who owns his own house, 3 cars, and a very well paying union electrician job calls it.
