Finance guru Dave Ramsey slams 'awful' Gen Zers and millennials who live with their parents: 'They suck. They can't buy a house because they don't work'
Just another article voicing some wealthy piece of shit with his divide the working class bullshit. We need labor reforms. We need rich people to pay much, much more taxes. We need investment and dividend reforms. We need antitrust to function again. The problems we have mostly stem from wealth hoarding.
The historical usage of the word is a meaningless distinction that is outdated and kinda irrelevant to the point.
“Bourgeoisie” might have once referred to those who were “middle” class in a world between extreme poverty and aristocracy. That particular setup has long since changed while the word was still used. It has a couple hundred years of usage making it perfectly valid here. It always referred to a merchant class who owned and were not poor.
Some asshole being paid to call an entire generation lazy and saying they don’t work absolutely fits.
He’s sitting around on stage being well paid to act the part. Your classification of his net worth is as irrelevant as 300 year old semantics on the internet.
Maybe Fortune shouldn't call a guy who apparently doesn't know how much a house costs right now on average vs. how much people get paid right now on overage a "finance guru."
Because from what I can tell, people who definitely do work can't buy houses. Many of them can't even afford to rent their own apartment.
Since when working give you capability of bup a house? Maybe in 60 years.
If want to point fingers on generations. Those generations are suck exactly consequence of his generation, suck education, suck work, suck wealthy balance, suck the whole planet.for what?
We were lucky to buy a house in a less than desirable small city in a less than desirable state in 2017 before the housing bubble made everything shoot up in price. We're not Gen Z or millennials. We're in our late 40s. There is absolutely no way we would be able to afford a house now and it isn't from lack of working.
As it is, our house is still worth far less than a house anywhere even a little more desirable, so we're stuck with it and stuck here until something changes.
