If young people want more affordability, they should get jobs
Good article
------------------
Polls show that the age group of Americans most worried about “affordability” are the 20- and 30-somethings. That’s young millennials and Gen Z.
Why are they so financially stressed out? One reason things seem so unaffordable to young people is that too many aren’t working hard — they are hardly working.
The latest Labor Department data indicate that fewer and fewer males between the ages 16 and 24 are in the labor force. It used to be that more than 70% had a job; now less than 60% do.
Labor force participation for men even into their 30s is at or near an all-time low. Men without jobs is a prescription for social chaos.
I would argue this is the most important age for a man to be hard at work, honing his job skills and on the way to a career that makes him a suitable marriage partner. Marriage rates for young men are down as well. Their lack of work experience and a successful career trajectory is one major reason why.
The earlier in life that men (and women) start working, the more successful they are likely to be in their careers, and the higher their lifetime earnings will be.

Re: If young people want more affordability, they should get jobs
The epitome example of this issue is Japan, where youth have stopped working for a miriad of reasons. I think we are seeing those start to mirror here. First World issue. When you have a strong upper class it drives the cost of living up, lower tier jobs aren't enough to house yourself, thus they don't bother working because they would be living with their parents either way.
There are other factors as well though. 10% of the adult population are millionaire status also just creates a generation that don't need to work in order to survive. Previous generations had no choice.

Every single american is no more than 2-4 years away from having a decent paying career if you put in the time to learn a skill or trade.
It's not sexy and you won't be flaunting name brands on Instagram like your favorite influencer but you will be able to make a decent living. Plus you could always work your way up and maybe even go into business for yourself.

Typical old MAGAS telling young people to work at jobs that do not pay a living wage will solve everyone's problems.

Trump didn't endorse lockdowns dumbass.
Are you saying Trump should have gone full dictator and cucked the blue state governors? He should have forced them to keep their states open? He should have forced the teachers unions to go back to work?
You would have been crying like a bitch about that too.

Yes he is, because democrats proved during Covid that they would do whatever it takes to sabotage him. Even if it meant destroying the country. You created this monster we have now.
But what are saying? Are you backtracking now? Are you saying Trump should have did this during his first term now?

trump only did all of this destruction now for his personal economic gain, but he didn't do it when it would have actually mattered.

Oh so you're saying he should have taken control during the pandemic and forced blue states to stay open?
So you admit the lockdowns were bullshit?
