50% divorce rate = more boomer things
world is getting closer to healing everyday
The factoid that '50% of marriages end in divorce' was kinda true decades ago.
But the divorce rate peaked in 1980.
Now, less than 40% of all marriages since 2000 end in divorce.
For college graduates, it's under 30%.
For college graduates who get married after age 25, and who don't have any kids before marriage, it's under 20%.
Anybody promoting the outdated, deceptive 50% rate has some kind of anti-marriage or anti-natalist agenda.
It scares young people away from getting married and having kids. That is their goal.

Smart people sound stupid to midwits.
A 140-IQ concept sounds like 90-IQ ignorance to a 110-IQ college normie.
This is why midwits ruin everything. They INVERT the truth to try to prove that they are smart.
It works like this:
140 IQ: "The more X you have in a city, the more Y you will get."
110 IQ: "AHA! But I am so smart that I can see NUANCE! Not every X will add more Y! That is why every X must be treated as if it SUBTRACTS Y! Because you CANNOT JUDGE INDIVIDUALLY! Therefore the OPPOSITE of the truth is true SOMETIMES, and so we must act as if the opposite of the truth is ALWAYS true or else you do not look like you know about NUANCE!"
140: "...But more X always equals more Y."
110: "LOOK AT THIS X! HE ISN'T DOING Y RIGHT NOW! ARREST THIS BIGOT!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
yeah so basically trump got cocky after succeeding with venezuela and had a hot hand and decided to double down and strike iran in february thinking they could take over the country in a couple of weeks despite everyone telling him it was a bad idea and would drag on
nothing really happened and then Iran learned that they can actually close the strait of hormuz and were unsure if it would even work but now its become obvious they can do it and feel empowered. the iranians have a longer history as a culture and are slow walking trump as much as possible as they know that higher oil prices are going to ruin his odds in the midterms and weaken him
not only that but now higher energy prices are putting upward pressure on inflation and bond yields which has made the job of his new fed chair warsh who came in under a premise of potential rate cute but because of the iran war were entering a rate hiking cycle
the only person in the room who was trying to juggle all of this was scott bessent but after trying to juggle everything for so long he decided he was going to try and fight the bond vigilantes to lower bond yields and declared himself as the house. but he showed up to the bond fight with hardly any ammunition and now the bond market is calling his bluff and now the bond auctions are going terrible and he looks like a fool now
so now bond yields are surging export bans on diesel are being put in place as an act of desparation midterms are a total write off and the trump admin is about to spend the next two years probably fighting impeachment hearings while things continue to detoriorate and the funny thing about all of this is he won the presidency off the idea of no more foreign wars but its his own foreign war with iran that started this whole mess and now the free market is testing them all

I’ve gotta be honest.
The 2016 election night when Trump had his shocking victory over Hillary I had never been filled with more hope and optimism for the future.
I was brand new to politics and I saw it as a Mandate of Heaven that the good guys were going to win in the end.
Fast forward 10 years and I couldn’t possibly be more blackpilled on politics in general.
No one is coming to save us, that naive kid who bought into the hype and hope of 2016 MAGA is long dead and gone.

You'll regret it if you get married, you'll regret it if you don't get married. You'll regret it if you have kids and you'll regret it if you don't. Kierkegaard said this 200 years ago as follows - whatever you choose, you'll regret it, because the problem isn't in your choices, it's in romanticizing your life. A person always finds an untravelled path alluring and mysterious. That's why the issue isn't making the right choice. It's choosing and deciding which regret you'll live with. In life, we must choose our regret.

What a fucking asshole. The K shaped economy is over.
Tell that to the average American. Yale, hedge funder. Bessent's "let them eat cake moment".
August 6 – New York Times (Alan Rappeport): “Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent downplayed the impact of inflation on lower-income Americans, declaring this week that the ‘K-shaped’ economy — shorthand for the divergent fortunes of the rich and poor — is a thing of the past… With midterm elections in just three months, Mr. Bessent has continually tried to talk up the economy. But despite promises of lower prices, the U.S. has continued to confront inflationary pressures that have been amplified by tariffs and the war in Iran, which has increased the cost of gasoline. Mr. Bessent suggested that those economic concerns are overblown. ‘I got sick of hearing about this K-shaped economy,’ Mr. Bessent said... ‘I can say here definitively, the K-shaped economy is over.’”

I spent hundreds if not thousands of hours at Taco Bell with my friends eating burritos and drinking baja blast when I was in high school. It always came to $5.18 exactly. Before I was 16 and employed, I used to literally count out change and stuff it all in my pocket. I just checked what it would cost now, and it’s like twice as expensive.
Not really afraid of being cornered by muh “erm, what are you, ENTITLED?”
Yeah, I am. I do actually feel entitled to the same standard of living that I once had, and that my parents and grandparents CERTAINLY had. And I’m certainly not going to be gaslit by the same people who oversaw our decline into just accepting it.
Their spiritual leftism is evident. “REAL men make their own burritos” just as “REAL men aren’t scared of crackheads on the subway.” Give me a break.
I get that you’re MARRIED and a FATHER and that’s really freaking based, and I hope you enjoy making budget burritos at home, but young people aren’t going to accept that they’re not allowed to enjoy their youth in the same ways they implicitly understand previous generations were able to.
There is an Al’s Toy Barn aisle of these Tough Love Conservative DadsTM who curiously only apply that animosity towards young white men. In the next breath, they praise the immigrants who leech off our country for “just wanting a better life.” Even romanizing their “work ethic” because they keep seeing them in construction vests.
The CPI (Chipotle Price Index) does actually matter regardless of how you’d like to stomp your feet. Fortunately, Trump & Vance are aware of this fully, and in particular of how to actually address these concerns properly. But Neocons want to spoil it for one last chance to really stick it to the young people who hate them for failing to stop literally any of our problems. Enjoy it while you can I suppose.

“I want my kids to live better than I did.” Is basically the story of human existence until this one weird generation showed up.

Fiat is so catastrophically broken that grown adults are cramming shiny rocks into underground bunkers like medieval peasants hiding grain from the tax collector.
We live in the 21st century.
We can split atoms, edit genes, and launch cars into orbit.
Yet people are hoarding metal because they don't trust their government's paper.
That's a civilization-wide distress flare.
Silver belongs in solar panels and circuit boards, powering the energy transition and technological progress.
Gold belongs in electronics, automotive systems, and medical devices—improving human life.
Instead, they're sitting in dark vaults doing absolutely nothing.
Locked away as dead capital.
Hoarded by people who correctly diagnosed that fiat is a dumpster fire but reached for the Bronze Age solution instead of the digital one.
This hoarding distorts prices and chokes innovation.
It artificially inflates the cost of industrial inputs.
Progress literally slows down because we're using resources meant for production as a hedge against monetary collapse.
Industrial metals should be powering technology, not sitting in vaults as monetary theater.
Bitcoin was designed to be money.
Nothing else.

Middle class working citizens should be able to have a high standard of living in the wealthiest first world country in history.
This should be a conservative principle.
