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.
Or health care, or food and clothing
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.

Or if you are the CEO there.
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
“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
“Yeah and houses were 1/20th of what they are now. Sit down and shut up grandma, you stupid old racist cunt.”
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
Meanwhile Gen X:
Lol, change it to “buy groceries and pay rent” and it still works
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.
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
Meanwhile, Gen X:
Do people on Lemmy think that there was a time when one could afford a house on fast food worker wages?
The confusion is that fast food jobs have always been for kids. Not permanent jobs. Non kids work them now because of the millions of blue collar jobs in the manufacturing sector that left the country over the past decades. Those were the jobs that paid enough for you to buy a house. I wonder what policies might bring back those good paying jobs in manufacturing might be
