I made a video about why I think people aren't having kids and the video is going pretty viral. I'm going to put on my tinfoil hat a little bit more and get just a little bit conspiratorial while trying to still remain brand safe because at this point my tinfoil hat has become a tinfoil crown since most of my conspiracy theories are now conspiracy facts. So a lot of people mention late stage capitalism when they're ready to air their grievances out for the systemic injustices in this country. It's my personal belief that what we have in America is more akin to total boomer luxury communism and I know that term is really funny but you can look it up. Essentially where I believe that the ability to create generational wealth amongst people Gen Z, millennial, younger Gen X was pilfered and stolen from us by the boomers. Wherein we are paying an astronomical amount of taxes to create larger social safety nets for the boomers, meanwhile our ability to own anything, it's not just about children, it's the ability to own a property. It's the ability to start a small business which by the way in California starting a small business is almost hostile. All of these abilities which were at one point normal like you could own a home, a single family home on one income have been pilfered from us through the wealth transfer that has occurred from our generation onto the boomers because the boomers I guess are okay with being a fully vampiric generation that never hands down the throne to the younger generations. And in this way we are not being properly initiated by our elders. Part of you know the initiation is the elder stepping aside and becoming elderly and then allowing a different class to rule. But look at who our last two presidents were, it's a perfect example of this. And this is the last thing. We as Americans like we need to be rooting for our fellow Americans instead of telling them to just accept less. So there's a guy on here who makes really interesting videos and he mentioned how he can't buy a home in Brentwood or north of Montana on a salary of 700k, there's nothing he can afford. So we should want someone like that to be able to live wherever he chooses and the reason for that is because if there's no upper class then there's no middle class. What happens is everyone gets pushed out of their neighborhood and essentially nobody can afford to own in these top neighborhoods and you see this a lot in LA, especially with these empty residential buildings everywhere that are just bought up I guess by shell companies and nobody can afford to even rent a space in these buildings for their business because the rent is like $100,000 a month and nobody's generating money like that. Anyway, I do think these conversations are super interesting to have even though I don't have them very often. I wish that instead of pointing fingers at one another in this country we could collectively start to point our fingers more at the unfair systems and structures that have been instilled that are really just working against people.
