White ford Taurus for 150 dollars.

So fuck you.

You can still pay for a year of college tuition by working one summer at McDonalds though..

>>1471770
$150 car? Sign me up.

>>1471788

$15,000 in one summer? I guess if you're the manager.

>>1471000

HAHAHA, HOLY SHIT.

>implying my parents would ever buy me a car

They decided I owe them 12 000 bucks for actually supporting me after I turned 17.

ah, how i wish i lived in a time when gas was 15 cents a gallon. fuckers had it easy.

>>1471770
>ford Taurus

>>1471788
No, I want to go to a $50,000 a year private college, not a shitty state college. My transgender lesbian negro studies degree from the private school will get me a much better job than the public school. Plus, I am entitled to whatever I want. My teachers told me so.

>>1471832
more like owner, managers don't make that much.

>>1471788

sounds like someones on a minority scholarship.

>>1471850

>private college

oh god is it Donald Trumps'

>>1471833

>Actually paying them.

Lol

>>1471850
Excuse me, stop wasting your time on the internet and get my fries from the fryer. I don't have all the time in the world to wait for you to fill my fast food order while you're crybabying online.

>implying you're not just pissed at baby boomers because you had shitty no money Gen Xers as parents instead

Fuck all of you.

I do really hate baby boomers including my own parents.
I mean fucking come on there is no way in hell I can buy a motorbike.
So what does every boomer father do buy a motor bike then lecture you about money.

>>1471832

Yeah.

No

>>1471832

Mcdonalds managers would be lucky to make $15,000 in a year

>>1472213
But I bet that lazy cocksucker has a refridgerator and a microwave!

COLLEGE TUITION USED TO BE CHEAP AS FUCK BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT GOT INVOLVED,

KILL YOURSELVES FOR MAKING IT SO EXPENSIVE YOU DUMB LIBTARDS

>>1470859
BOOMEAR THRAD

>>1472257
so the government...makes college tuition expensive..how? IIRC, that's set by the college itself.

>>1472276
Let's think about this for a second. If the government is going to pay for tuition anyway, why not raise prices?

>>1472213

You must be joking.
People who make minimum wage make more than $15,000

>7.50 x 40 = 300.. 300 x 52 = 15,600

"managers are lucky if they make less than $7.50 an hour."

Remember when people went to college to actually get an education, and not as some "job training" program?

Why do we send so many people to college, why have the government involved? Not everyone is made for college ffs.

>>1472285
And everyone works 40 hours a week in a down economy, right?

Go gargle a gaggle of penises.

>>1472285
>15,600 a year

Wow, a kings' ransom if ever one was. That's practically NEAR the poverty line!!

>>1472312

How much more likely is someone to achieve your position with a high school diploma instead of a ged?

>>1472312
Managers do.

Are you suggesting they work say, 20hr weeks? What is the hourly rate you think a manager at McD makes, hmm?

The worst thing the baby boomers did was take away our right to rebel. Basically, they think they truly fixed every problem of humanity at woodstock, and have since denied us the right to rebel. "Tolerance" "Diversity" are just hippyisms that take away the right to question, right to inqiry. The thing that makes science so powerful. Constant doubt. This creates conflict, and they wanted to end all conflicts. The thing is, society isn't static. New technologies and individuals arise, and the society needs a purging of irrelevant ideas, or ones that are proven wrong. This is why society is so polarized over some of the most easiest compromises. Liberalism reached its logical conclusion and made the individual the leviathan, but we cannot live in a large society or have a civilization if everyone is the leviathan.

>>1471839

You know, I see pictures like these and I wish we had a time machine to bring them to people back in the 19th century or so.

>>1472102
>implying you aren't lying

>>1472284
Because it was making an artificial bubble that would eventually burst?

Because it was blind wanton greed without any judgment of long term effects?

>>1472376
I'd pay money to see that.

>>1472353
They don't look at it at all. I have a BS, thats all that matters.
Any job you apply for usually says highscool OR equivalent... once you earn a degree people don't care where you went to highschool.

I'm going to have so much fucking debt by the time i finish university and its all going to be a waste of time. I'm skipping countries after i'm done and it angers me that I will still be paying back my former cuntry.

>>1472027

The point is that anyone implying we're spoiled kids who get everything handed down to us by our baby boomer parents are full of shit. They took everything for themselves, threw it into a fire and gave us the bare minimum. They then proceeded to pretend we were getting SO MUCH compared to them back when they were kids.

In some cases, it's true. I know my mom had a shit childhood. My dad though? He had it easy.

Hell, they even had it easier than me at my age. My grandpa gave them 20 000 bucks when they got married to get started, my parents want me to give them 12 000 now.

Welcome to baby boomer mentality, where they're the best humanity ever produced and everyone else is garbage.

>>1471788

This is the stupidest post on /pol/, which is saying a lot.

>>1472444
what the actual fuck...when I was 5 I jammed a peanut butter sandwich into the new vcr, that is so fucking weird.

>>1471788
Only if you live at home and go to a ghetto community college though....

And what the hell is the point of going to college if you don't live in a dorm?

>>1472406
Nope. I'm off for three weeks right now, then its back to the rig for three weeks, seven 12hr. days...

>U.S. wealth gap between young and old is widest ever

>The typical U.S. household headed by a person age 65 or older has a net worth 46 times greater than a household headed by someone under 35, according to an analysis of census data released Monday.

>While people typically accumulate assets as they age, this wealth gap is now more than double what it was in 2005 and nearly five times the 10-to-1 disparity a quarter-century ago, after adjusting for inflation.

Near? Unless you're making $22,314 a year, you're below it.

>>1472450
Do you know the process by which jobs find your level of education? Would give me some confidence to know. Some people tell me a ged will get me ignored by certain jobs.

Is there any benefit to getting a high school diploma over a ged? Does it only matter if you don't have a college degree?

>>1472532
Sucked the system dry and demand more more more.

>>1472533
>mfw I make 8k a year

>>1472556
Learn your state laws regarding it, in some states (Florida in my case), a GED is legally considered a high school diploma and employers can't ignore it.

>>1472592
That's because you're spending your time feeling the batman instead of working you faggot.

FEELING
THE
BATMAN.

>>1472626

Actually I spend most of my time in school. Full-time student. I could stand some more hours though.

>>1472644
In school feeling the batman no doubt.

>>1472621
"Legally" Well that may not be practical to enforce on an employer. They could always blame some other reason.

Do you think a diploma would've helped you more than a ged did in saving time?

>>1472665

Nah, I live with my gf. We make things work

>>1472697
Is she the batman>

>>1472556

Funny, thats exactly where i'm from. Went to Daytona State, transfered to UCF.

Process by how my job found me? Not sure what you mean. UCF referred me to the job immediately after I graduated.

My parents pretty much told me to fuck off. Granted, I used the car to get to work for a few months, but they made me pay them rent, pay for gas and all of the insurance... at 16.

You have to get that piece of paper bro. Fuck everbody else and their opinions, I did it.

>>1472709

>absolutely non-inspiring Horatio Alger ripoff

>>1472709
Yes

i don't understand what you americunts all cry about. in australia we have the boomers as well, and they're gonna retire about it, but nobody is worried. all that matters is whether or not your economy has the productive capacity at their retirement to provide for them. we will, and america, having an even higher output per capita than Australia, will easily be able to handle it as well. i can guarantee you will not be paying extra taxes for it. saving up a surplus of some little pieces of paper or digits on the government's bank account isn't going to take care of the boomers; as i said only the real productive capacity of the economy at the point of retirement matters

im starting to think this is another blame thing for virgen /paul/ faggets, most of which are libertards and therefore require a specific, easy target to blame for their problems. guess it gets boring blamin the gubbament all the time, so good work on getting a bit of variety

How old are you?

You have to prove to the state that you HAVE to work F/T to support yourself. I wrote a letter explaining my situation, my soon to be manager at Subway told me where to mail it and let me work before the permit came.
I took the work permit and GED to the college, started classes that same month.

I didn't take any classes before the GED test btw, I just paid for the exam along with documents from my highschool, waited until it was scheduled to happen, took it, passed it, got the GED - All of this in like 6 weeks.

>>1472781

I have no idea what that even is.

It happens. If you want to believe I'm lying, whatever helps you sleep at night - fine.

>>1472828
Boomers have all the wealth and wrecked the economy like the swarming locust they are.
