Alcoholism is the one German tradition most closest to my heart. There's nothing more uplifting and excellent than hordes of sleepy beer drinking beer tent inhabitants.
It’s pretty bad. If I wasn’t incredibly lucky to own property in NYC (where I currently live) me and my wife wouldn’t be able to afford rent in Manhattan or Brooklyn if you look at our current salary. I am not working rn since I’m doing my masters full time so our income has decreased considerably. Still, we make more than 100K a year, the housing crisis here is real. A lot of demand, a lot of supply, artificially inflated rent prices. A story came out the other day showing how landlords in Arizona are engaging in price-fixing which is incredibly ilegal. Here’s the full story:
P.S: ravager wouldn’t know. He’s massively ignorant when it comes to actual policy and economics.

It takes around $150k a year to live comfortably in the US.
Average US income is $40k a year.
Average rent $1800-$2100 a month
Average home $500k
There are programs to assist those who make low income but the instant you go above the minimum, you lose out on all of it and will be left worse off than before.

It won’t end, if they had their way they wouldn’t stop at annexing Gaza and the West Bank, they would also look towards annexing Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, parts of Saudi and Iraq in their ideal pursuit towards greater Israel. Now they are forced to settle with Gaza and the West Bank but even that is proving to be a big problem. In the meantime they’ve completely lost any semblance of public support and their attempts at good PR have been an absolute disaster. Their recent normalization with some of the neighboring Arab states have been met with pressure by the local populace in those respective states and at this point it’s only a matter of time until those normalization agreements are reversed under the weight of public pressure when these buffoons continue the senseless killing of innocent civilians.

Just a small correction of the average US data that I found it.
"The Takeaway. The average annual average salary in the U.S. is $63,795. The median annual salary, which is often less skewed by outlying numbers, is $59,384. It's worth noting that average and median salaries vary quite a bit by state."
"Average home price in the United States: $420,800. The median home sales price is $420,800 as of the first quarter of 2024. That's a 28% increase from the first quarter of 2020, when the median was $329,000. MEDIAN SALES PRICE OF HOMES IN THE U.S."
Not trying to debunking you with that but showing to others data that I found in case they may doubt it. And I also found this:
"On average, an individual needs $96,500 for sustainable comfort in a major U.S. city. This includes being able to pay off debt and invest for the future."
In its current iteration, capitalism is rigged in favor of those who are already at the top. Modern capitalism is more akin to what’s been described as corporate socialism.

The term that is often used around here is Metacapitalism: big ass corporations paying politicians to create bureaucracy and taxes to kill of the competition and solidify their monopolies.
Me: Living in fake capitalist society. Taxation and bureaucracy are ridiculously high. Everything is overpriced due to taxation,inflation and stupid laws. Public services are bad and don't work. Latin America is proof that socialism sucks.
