Why is practically impossible for an average person to make any amount of money by any means in America? Nobody is hiring for even the shittiest jobs anymore, and there's no demand for any kind of goods or services outside of a handful of monopolies that sell everything, so it's impossible to start your own business. How is it possible that we have all this massive GDP growth every quarter while at the same time no money is making its way to the average American and the standard of living is plummeting?

Wealth concentration. An increasingly tiny fraction of people own and manage an increasingly obscene percentage of total human wealth, leaving fewer and fewer crumbs leftover for the overwhelming majority. The average person not only owns no wealth, but probably owns NEGATIVE wealth due to debt. The good news is that this social order is entirely unsustainable. The bad news is that it can only correct itself via catastrophic readjustment (war, depression, revolution, etc.) in which many many people will die.

The mistake in your thinking is that wealthy people were once average, and therefore since you are average, you can become like them, but every time reality reminds you otherwise, you balk and screech and refuse to accept it. This is the modern human condition, too many films and books have convince us, urged to realize our god like heroic storylines and destinies, ironic, since these narratives are funded and distributed by the same elite we want to emulate so much.

every business owner is an epstein like

so they only hire women because when you were working on your resume she was sucking his cock and got the job

you can thank your ancestors for giving them right

there are jobs, they are just not for you

blue collar and white collar are for browns and foids

the browns because they work for cheap

the foids because they can suck a cock

The money that would have went to labor instead went to improving company profit margins

There is no reality where both main st and wall st win. If you forced wages to match inflation, gave out healthcare, and basically did more European “socialist” stuff, you’d have a happier populace, but your equity market would be down 45% and it would take a decade of +/- 5% gains (basically zero real returns) to normalize. In that time period wagies would actually outpace asset holders in relative wealth increase.

3 reasons:
Massive Inflation and Taxation.
And they mass bankrupted half of the white men run small businesses via DEI / Diversity, and then via covid.
White male owned small businesses used to create 50% of all jobs. Now half of them are bankrupt.

>Massive Inflation and Taxation.
Inflation created by FED bank is 9-10% / year and not 2%.

As they inflated all assets such as residential and commercial real estate,
Real Estate taxes jumped so high that now both people and small businesses are going broke due to RE taxes.

>hey mass bankrupted half of the white men run small businesses via DEI / Diversity, and then via covid.
>White male owned small businesses used to create 50% of all jobs. Now half of them are bankrupt.

Obama and Biden pushed DEI / Affirmative Action.
In the last 10 years, white male owned small businesses
couldn't even get US gov contracts.
All contracts illegally went to browns and women owned small businesses
>(who of course don't exist en masse, so they passed those contracts to large monopolies).
So, large corp monopolies got more US gov contracts.
Small businesses got shafted .
In 10 years, half of them went bankrupt.
These small businesses used to provide 50% of all jobs.

What you see is not AI collapse, is a collapse of white males owned small businesses.
>>
>>61779507
As are you
>>
>>61778210
This because the large corp monopolies bought or bankrupted all real competition.
Because they have access to cheap wall street money, and small businesses don't.
So small businesses that used to compete with them got bought or bankrupted.
Via other different ways, such as DEI / Diversity on US gov contracts, as I described here:

>How do you compete with the amazon monopoly realistically?
I used to run an ecommerce store that competed with amazon.
You run your own website.
I used to drive the whole multi-billion $ industry that I was in forward.
The issue is that Google knocks your website out of top 10 and then you lose all traffic.
>on purpose
and then you have to buy Google ads.
While Google sends all traffic to Amazon.
So realistically NOW you can't unless your profit margins are crazy high and you can spend money on advertising.

This anon is right but wrong. We are overpopulated but that will correct itself and shift our economy as population deflates. I think AI will plateau and a lot of big tech will lose growth. I think wealth will decentralize and future will be using pow crypto to fund robots and AI to run your own business. Nation states are dying concept trump is just kick starting it.

I make 26.85 as a security supervisor and I decided to apply for ONE job and got an interview for it. Flex officer for 26.50. I probably would’ve gotten it but those faggots won’t let me double dip on security work (id have to transfer my license to the other company).

Point is I applied to one job and got an interview. If you can’t get a job it’s because you’re a fucking loser and you’re not trying hard enough, not lying eloquently enough, and not REHEARSING you’re own bullshit so it’s believable.

Scatter-shotting the same resume thousands of times isn’t going to work.

it was inevitable. international industrialization drove down wages in western countries because there used to not be competition for those jobs and now there is.
imagine you are the only mechanic shop in your town. there’s literally a waiting list for people to get their cars worked on by you, and you can charge almost anything you want. you’d be making great money, right? but now, you are just one of five shops, and you have to advertise and even lower your prices to attract customers because you have these other shops to compete with. america/the west used to be the only industrialized nation in town, but now there are many more.
so, it was always going to be this way when industrialization came to other countries. it’s not that corporations and the rich are greedy (weren’t they greedy in the past too?) and it’s not even because of any specific government policies. it was inevitable. the wealth enjoyed by the american middle class in the 1900s was a fluke that was never going to last.

Yes, and no.
The cost of living has gone up so much, each 5 years worked is only equal to 3-4 now and it is still getting harder.
If you work 10 years today, it is only 7-8 years of work.
Every working class person had their retirement pushed out by over a decade.

What is wealth? It's the amount of goods and services your work gets you. And with technology that's been going up and up and up. We're approaching a point soon where we might not need most people to provide the necessities; automated farms, automated construction, automated production. Really the only limiting factor is going to be energy and raw materials.

The simple fact is that the only thing holding us back is our current social structure and a sea of 80IQ monkeys. China will overcome this barrier, we probably wont.

>The poors will eat each other.
the wealthy have told themselves this comforting lie for literally thousands of years.
the societies still collapsed, and the wealthy were never immune to it outside of running away...
...except there's not anywhere left for them to run this time - nobody's going to colonize Mars or the Moon and make Elysium for them.
hell, they haven't even figured out how to colonize Antarctica.

ultimately the more wealth these individuals concentrate, the greater the amount of resources for which each one represents a singular, squishy point of failure. entropy always takes its due eventually, one way or another.

I think the rise of banking is just a natural result of a stagnating civilization, not much can be done about it except try to profit personally

When an economy is in balance with its energy flows, the financial economy closely parallels the material economy, and it provides essential services. These include a standardized medium of exchange, mitigation of risk, rational pricing, and so on. One essential service is "capitalization": the provision of excess resources to lay the foundation for increased flows of energy in the material economy. for example, building factories/roads/infrastructure, to make real growth possible.

BUT

When complex civilizations collapse, a universal symptom is the "financialization" of growth. the energy basis of the material economy is in decline and can no longer support growth. Capitalization ("liquidity") is still being provisioned by the financial system, but it no longer translates into real growth. Disparity in financial wealth widens as incomes that depend on the material economy start to shrink in real terms. At the same time, incomes from the financial sector increase exponentially. As speculative bubbles are created and then burst, a "ratchet effect" ensues in which the wealth disparity increases almost without bound.

>>61778204
Yup. All you need to do is look back at when the "k" shaped economy really got started and you can see that it is monetary. Inflation benefits the few at the expense of the many. Once upon a time, the rising tide raised all ships. But not since 1971.

>>61778123
There has neve been a country where it has been easier for the plebs to move into the upper middle class and lower rich. However, many plebs are entitled and lazy--they lash out at foreigners who come her with nothing as outperform them. They waste their time and money on drugs, junk food, gambling, having kids outside marriage, etc. These people are worthless and deserve to be replaced.

Those of us that can cut it, will keep killing it. You got one life. If you want to be part of America, provide value.
>>
>>61783902
Poor whites are basically niggers. They just don't realize it. White people deserve to lose if they ger complacent and can't maintain their position.
>>
>>61783972
I think probably the best explanation is that plebs are dumb and 'spend all their money in old age'. The rising tide was great for your grandparents and great grandparents because they were already middle aged or elderly homeowners, and your parents would have inherited from them since WWII guys were usually responsible and not retarded degens, then boomers spent whatever and you have millennails and zoomers buying 'starter homes' that are just fucking trailers in Covington, KY to WFH in an IT call center or whatever the fuck (pick your fantasy).

So basically the rich kids inherit their dad's fortune and middle class kids get fleeced for all they'll ever be worth because their parents were irresponsible. And the poor kids were always poor.

It's not an apples to apples comparison. There's a million things available to consumers now that simply didn't exist 50 years ago. The idea for a standard life has inflated as well, and it's easy to blow all your money on dopamine hits.

That's more that we structured taxes and benefits to almost exclusively benefit the elderly and we keep increasing it. We've basically solved elderly poverty and made them the wealthiest pensioners in the world.

Means test Social Security and Medicare and eliminate property tax exemptions for the elderly. That will encourage the elderly to downsize, stop clinging to life beyond all hope, and shift investment back to the productive members of society so they have kids and access to houses.

Combine that with an administration that deports the native-born poor and opens the border to high skilled immigration anywhere--and we can beat China.
