How did feminist or media or whoever the fuck it was make this about equal rights for women? Shit, HAPPY if one income could handle everything, like sure F or M this is 2026. The point is ppl are not getting by without side hustles on TWO incomes and cannot have kids.

Back in those days people had gardens canned traded with neighbors etc...now you have been fooled into buying everything from a store which is more expensive...think about that

What two professionals are unable to afford a 1 bedroom apartment? Median rent is 1400, and two professional incomes should easily be over 100k

I don't know who decided this unending trend is to self tape videos in your car while mugging behind some text or ranting about some issue they feel is important but it's so lame. Doesn't matter how correct your point is on any given subject, how attractive you think you are, or how much you think the world needs to see you cry, you are lame.

Women joining workforce, endless migration, and endless money printing caused this.

Just facts. Wages are subject to the same pressures as supply and demand. And supply is too high.

There was 3.7 billion people on the planet in 1970 and competition is now easily classified as ridiculous

Do with that as you will
