How can one country be so wealthy and successful?

hi

>this post
you can't be canadian
you are a proxy

Anti-American Canadians are just a Toronto phenomenon

if you're not a thirdworlder why wouldya wanna live here? Yeah okay stem majors make that much starting out if they are lucky, and guess what? They're gonna be spending years paying off college debt. Houses are not affordable at all. Where'd you get that from?

Maybe it's nicer than canada, but I'm not even sure of that. It's probably only better in certain categories. People are insane here too.

what the fuck are you doing lol

Your kind are not welcome here.

mostly horseshit desu

4.4%
1.6% yoy, .7% qoq
Stock markets are not at all time highs
USA wages are only up 2.4% yoy, and therefore labor isn't that tight.
Houses are affordable in the shithole places where no humans live.
Massive brain drain that hurts native Americans.

>USA wages are only up 2.4% yoy

That's insane

In Canada wages are up -0.1% while house prices are up 10% to $560,000 on average

Leave the leaf behind, come home burger man.

Fuck off, stop moving here

they actually are.

>USA wages are only up 2.4% yoy, and therefore labor isn't that tight.

true. But it's projected to grow with the low unemployment rate. Unemployment under 4.5% in a developed nation is the estimated level where wages rise across the board--one under 3.0% is considered to be damaging as a sign of labor shortage.

>Massive brain drain that hurts native Americans.
it's actually a good thing if those high skilled immigrants stay.

I hope the American economy continues to improve. I fear for a world in which our Chinese overlords take over the US. Also, the US continues to have deep social issues that threaten to destroy the country.

I didn't know other cunts knew of the big stick? Do they know of the speak softly part?

The only "deep social issue" America has is that it's TOO wealthy

>Houses are not affordable at all. Where'd you get that from?
the housing market may suck these days by US standards, but it's still far better than places like europe.

The wealthy are wealthy. The middle class has shrunk for decades.

...

uma

i really doubt that wages are that high, especially in places where houses are affordable

This exactly. Income inequality is a huge issue in our country.

just kidding that is my dad I don't own shit
FUCKING BABY BOOMERS

Also he bought my mom's car and owns like 10 guns and 2 other cars i forgot about. one of them is a sports car from the 70s

how do we fix this

we literally can't
baby boomers were born at the best time in american history. right after wwii the US became the world superpower and with the birth rate came huge need for jobs and now with automation becoming a reality we are all going to get fucked and get 17k a year from universal basic income.
seriously my dad has a criminal record, he robbed someone when he was like 20 and still got a good 80k a year job with no college experience. He has owned over 15 cars in his life.
>tfw born in le wrong generation

It's really weird. When I'm working I'm in Manhattan, now whatever you personally feel about the place, it IS the center of economy and culture for the Americans. And also almost everyone there I meet has no fucking idea what the fuck they're doing. It's a country that seems to be blundering into success time and time again. There's all this math and law and economics and art and linguistics intristically tied to one tiny island yet 99% of the people there are kind of morons like they are everywhere else. I don't get it at all,

>tfw your parents bough a house and payed off the mortgage in 2 years working normal blue collar jobs now a house in that area is like fucking 600k

>tfw parents bought their house for $50k in the mid-80s
>now a house in that area costs 7x as much even counting for inflation

How is this generation meant to survive and thrive?

well uh, you could always sell your parents house for 7x its original worth?

Why do you assume I'll get their house? If they did leave it to me it would only be part ownership with my two brothers so I wouldn't get all the money. And anyway, I'd have to wait decades for their deaths even if they did leave it to us whereas they bought the house when they were my age.

Damn man, sorry your parents aren't more frail...

Why are you going on about my parents and their house? The point is the drastically reduced opportunities for our generation.

>mfw we complain about american boomers (best generation to be born in all of Earth's history) even though our lives are still better that 99% of the world

>They're gonna be spending years paying off college debt.
Public colleges m8.

tfw here in NY public colleges are FREE

Yet they still whine of "muh took mer jobs" meme

How can someone be this hypocrite?

Redpill me on both brotendo

>4% unemployment

Illusory statistics generated by Obongo and the media.

Actually most of those are not true at all.

Economy is still shit desu.

Eh, I don't see the drastically reduced opportunities part honestly. It's pretty much the same as it always is, the people who know how make money and the people who don't...don't.

You just gotta find your shtick and cash in on it.

This .

That figure doesn't account for the large number of underemployed (people working part time shit jobs without health insurance instead of their old professional full-time jobs with health insurance) or people that have given up looking for jobs after years of no luck.

>don't see the drastically reduced opportunities part honestly. It's pretty much the same as it always is
It isn't. My dad got a well-paying factory job without a highschool diploma or work experience that helped him get a new car and a house in a couple of years. Now even shit entry-level jobs want years of experience and starbucks and restaurants are full of college grads and no one working those will have a house or new car any time soon let alone both.

I want lots of immigration, but only under the right circumstances. It has to be legal. It has to be diverse. I want lots of immigration from all over the world: Africa, Europe, Asia, Pacific Islands, Central/South America, etc. I even want to bring in refugees from the Middle East if they can be suitably vetted.

What I don't like is non-diverse illegal immigration from only one part of the world. Almost always, people who buy into La Raza identity politics. Whose children and grandchildren very predictably vote democrat. Ungrateful people who verbally hate the United States, and fly the flag of countries that they would never willingly go back to.

>4% unemployment
Stop using the (((government))) U-3 rate. U-6 is around 6%, but we speculate there's more like 15%.

>stock market at all time highs
Yeah but that only benefits the ultra-wealthy. Meanwhile there are millions of Americans like me in poverty.

>STEM grads
Good luck getting into college, getting into an "Accredited" STEM program, then finding a job in a market oversaturated by Berkeley phds and Indian H-1B leeches.

>tradesmen
Only way you get any money in the trades is if you're connected to a family member or deep within the bureaucracy. Once again, people like me will not get those jobs.

>unionized
Even worse.

>jobs everywhere
No.

>houses still affordable
Sure, if you want to live in Oklahoma and have your house blown up by a tornado one month after purchasing it. All the good real estate in California and East Coast cost millions of dollars.

>most rich country
You can thank the 1% for skewing those statistics.

>brain drain thing
Lol.

America sucks really - especially if you're a lower class white male. At least you're Canadian and you can get neetbux easy and your pm wont ship you off to Afghanistan to get killed by ragheads.

Fuck off, any immigration hurts people who are already lower class. There are lots of white americans who need jobs, whether they be on farms or not.

I hate the fact i'm allowed to sit unemployed while illiterate assholes from the 3rd world take the jobs in the country my ancestors helped build just because they're a voting block and they want them to fuck the females of my race in the name of diversity.

Okay, that's true. But you know, dying middle class, it's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just a necessary transition period. Things can't always stay the same, the world changes. N'shiet.

No one needs factory workers anymore, but if your mindset is just honest work, they'll always need farmers-still no robots sophisticated enough to replace farmers

>get warned by Carter
>the very man who caused 2008

This is from computers, automation, and robotics. An accounting book a single worker would need 2 weeks to do can take a few hours on a computer, even in the 80s with spreadsheets.

I don't think Americans even know how good they have it. I only get 2200€ after taxes and it's almost living pay check to pay check despite having a masters degree in engineering

Only like 25% of Americans have it good. They benefit while the other 75% blow their bodies apart, fight in wars, and work for little to nothing under the counter.

Even better the 25% are born into it. It's becoming a caste system at this point - at least your country has solid healthcare, no affiliation in foreign wars, lack of diversity, and that black Hitler guy.

Its a buyers market if you are rich, smart or well educated. Its utter shit otherwise. America is pure meritocracy.

I have an uncle who went from penniless third world immigrant to multi-millionaire with an engineering company in America. Kids all went to Ivy's and own 5000+sq ft house. I don't think most places in the world have that level of opportunism/social mobility.

1Euro=7.5 kn
2200 times 7.5 equals 16,500 kn with the average salary being 5,000 kn.

I feel your pain bro. the world is just so harsh

Thats cute but unreal, if you import people just to build a human zoo it will become a socioeconomic shitfest, the reason why central americans flee to your cunt is because their cunt is shit and you allow to stay, im not saying that you should deport every single cockroach you have, just state the rules, stay and integrate economically or fuck off, dont just stamd there spewing xenophobic and proteccionist shit like a retard, help thos poor bastards to start over, maybe credits to kickstart a business thus creatinh jobs for everyone, thats what we do except of the business shit, we dont have money for that shit

>years paying off college debt
>years
>houses not affordable

Why is it that every millennial is about as uninformed as humanly possible about these things? You literally have access to almost all human knowledge at the tips of your fingers. It's like you enjoy being wrong and ignorant.

Are you willing and able to do the jobs some central american nigger does? (ie picking fruit, gardening)

It's literally my only option in the place i live, but ever since you spics showed up here the landowners pay under the country under the minimum wage. It's impossible enough to live here, but you guys just make it worse.

Why the fuck do people think those jobs are somehow below the natives? It's not like the whole population is highly educated having a good paying white collar job

Fucking hate that argument
>we need immigration to do jobs we don't want to do

It gives the Mexicans an excuse to leave their shitty country and ruin the US for anyone who dont live in a gated community.

If you have unemployment in the country there shouldn't be any immigration in the first place. Immigration is only acceptable if you can't find any qualified person in the country

Trust me even if all of that cherrypicked bullshit were true, it's not worth living in a country of 90% ignorant retards who speak ebonics.

Exactly, but the politicians here want to secure votes so they keep bringing them in.

I also blame the globalization movement, but i dont think the whole muh diversity thing is working well here.

selfish shitskin country

THIS.

Basically the problem stems from the economy being a literal ponzi scheme

The economy was designed to ensure constant growth, but with the babyboomers retiring and birthrates falling pretty much everywhere including developing nations, consumption and demand for goods and services are falling. They need immigration to keep the economy growing, because if the economy stops growing you can't make the interest payments on your debt and the entire financial system collapses.

Fun fact: the working age(25-65) population in America is still the same as it was in the year 2000, there's just a shitload more old people now who burden society with healthcare and pension payments

This 2bh
It really is a great country if you have a lot of money, but if you're poor the system is rigged to keep it that way. Its possible to move upwards, but it takes an absurd amount of willpower, and there is no safety net if you fuck up.

Because they are though. No benefits, ass pay, long hours, easy to replace and no respect.

>there's just a shitload more old people now who burden society with healthcare and pension payments
There's a temporary glut of them b/c large boomer population but most of them will be dead in 15 years anyway. This problem will self-correct.

90% ignorant retards is how every country functions, really. you guys get most of the mockery because your culture happens to be the most extroverted one. your average euro can mock america because the idiots in america are on his tv, americans aren't gonna be watching fucking portugese tv calling THEM idiots(although you really should, fucking portugese).

anyway, don't stress, as i've said before, it's basically 0.1% of a country that pushes it forward, the rest are just morons along for the ride

Whoa there's a handful of people that are filthy rich, what a surprise.
I'm sure Germany has some billionaires of its own, with a net worth greater than many countries' GDPs.

t-thanks, it's sometimes hard to be on Sup Forums and everyone acts like only americans are retarded

Exactly. Cant wait for the boomers to keel over - still, i want negative population growth so we dont turn this beautiful country into an urban wasteland.

B-but our parents are boomers ;_;

Poorfags fuck off

>i want negative population growth so we dont turn this beautiful country into an urban wasteland.
Because an aging population on an economy that's slowing down due to a decreasing workforce sure sounds like the recipe to success.

America's median age will still be in the 40s by 2050. And at that time the baby boomers will have died and we will be the old ones.

this is australia for the most part, except for >houses are still affordable

Those ultra rich people are the ones who create jobs, make goods cheaper, and invest into ideas that make our life better/easier. The thing with the US as this it is materialistic, but that's not a bad thing though. Free market economy brah

Why wouldn't employers rather hire these illiterate assholes from the 3rd world that you?

Why would employers rather hire these illiterate assholes from the 3rd world than you?

What's the deal with houses anyway? What advantage do they have to owning an apartment? A house is just a fucking apartment that's isolated from other apartments, which is not a good thing if you like to obessess over your cute neighbor next door, as I do.

I guess maybe they're (arguably) better for kids, but we're on Sup Forums, no one here will ever have kids.

How is housing in Austraila expensive? There's so much free land there.

most of it is inhospitable

It;s ridiculous in aus. you can have two parents earning over $200,000 a year in total and still have very little choice in buying a good place in a decent location

some want to "live the dream" like Americans, by owning a nice house either in the inner-city or suburbs. People don't like the idea of renting a house or apartment with children. I'm OK with renting, I have done in the past (at home now because everything is so expensive).

I've already resigned to never owning a home. it's all a shitfest

Because they work for cheap. Really cheap - like slave labor. The producers dont give a fuck if they do the work properly or not; more money to spend on their upper middle class existence.

They'll be dead very soon brazilian, and honestly I dont give a fuck if they starve. They are the ones who go around and tell people like me to accept my shitty life, although they grew up easy.

Assholes.

yes, we keep building houses out in the middle of nowhere, because every greedy fuck wants to buy. People unironically do 1-2 hour commutes to Sydney, or Melbourne for work just so they can afford a house

You'll be the one who's 60 to 80 years old when the real troubles start.
Assuming you're in your mid-20s right now.

>They are the ones who go around and tell people like me to accept my shitty life, although they grew up easy
Wha...you think quality of life was better when boomers were kids and there was no Internet, no computers, and you could die of now easily-treatable illnesses?

Do they live 100 miles away from their jobs?

Dont you have labour laws and shit? This means cheap slavadoreans are more competitive than you

There are articles about how natives wont do low paying or exhausting jobs, look it up, i wont spoonfeed some weeb on a North Korean pottery club

Now I'm not exactly sure why Democrats are so obsessed with retaining slave labor such as underpaid wetback vegetable pickers.

Oh wait, yeah. They haven't changed a bit since 1861.

Would you trade places with them?

Just look at Japan, on the verge of bankrupcy and extinction

Parramatta is only 23 km from the Sydney city centre, yet the commute is ungodly

If you build parks around high density appartment buildings you get the same as a house and actually promote social interaction

Idk why people prefer McMansions in the middle of fucking nowhere rather than a cozy flat in a centric neighbourhood

It's not so bad. I could live in the Balkans a stone's throw from people who want to genocide me.
