Only because,of course, employers would rather build their $300,000 homes than give a young person a break in life. Which wasn't always the case. Greed only too

Only because,of course, employers would rather build their $300,000 homes than give a young person a break in life. Which wasn't always the case. Greed only took over about 25-30 years ago. Ever since, real wages have stagnated or fallen for the great majority of Americans.
You're blaming the victim.
- jerf 17y ago"Greed only took over about 25-30 years ago." To which my only response can be, "bwuh?" What, was there some sort of virus that ran through the population and rewrote all our genomes so that we're suddenly selfish? Greed predates humanity. I mean that literally. For any definition of "humanity". All life forms are greedy. They have to be, to survive competition with all the other greedy life forms. If something changed 25-30 years ago, it wasn't the amount of greed in the world.
- teeja 17y agoBy "took over" of course, I meant "assimilated", not "came into existance." Those of us old enough to remember what this country was like 40 years ago know what I mean. Unless they're in denial about the stagnation of wages and the huge concentration of wealth at the top
- galactus 17y agoThe idea of being selfish as something good for society is relatively new, tho.
