That opportunity to get ahead by hard work is gone
I think this is really bullshit. It's harder than it was, absolutely. But you can do it, it just takes sacrifices which people these days seem to want none of.
You always hear about people's grand/parents moving to some town and starting a life. And it's viewed romantically but in reality, it was likely a sacrifice.
Earning $15k above the median salary with a partner earning minimum wage, I managed to save enough for a house deposit in about 18 months. With nothing but a diploma I got in 12 months. It sucked, I never went out, cooked nearly every night and had very few indulgences. I moved over an hour away from where I grew up and I had no help. This is in one of the top 10 expensive property cities in the world.
The problem here is how you present your opinion and thoughts as fact. I even agree with your opinion, but I don't really care that he does it. I'm sure he is exploiting people to profit for himself, but at least he's giving people things.
There's a lot worse out there to dedicate care and energy to.
I'm not American, I have no idea who this guy is but based on him being a fuckwit and America's history, you'll likely reelect him and his black face for another 4 years.
That's what the Americans said after the first Trump election
