I thought employment rate has been at record lows these last couple years?

We are in a service economy, which hasn’t been as exposed to mechanical automation. You think there are still going to be as many jobs in the service industry of we automate it all? You think the market gives two shits about human dignity and keeping us employed?

We’re already shipping as many service jobs as we can to cheaper places. You think this doesn’t have an effect on our future employment prospects?

If you take out housing payments/rents as they’re due to the housing crisis that’s definitely not true

Are you hearing yourself?

If you’re on 2 incomes and struggling with a paid off house you’re doing something wrong

This is such a brain-dead, out of touch take.

How exactly are people, who don’t own a home, supposed to get to that point? With piles, and piles of debt, for houses that have gone up, way, way, way beyond inflation.

If they have no relatives who already own property, they are even more truly fucked.

I moved out of home in 2016. I worked 2 days a week on the weekend while studying. I did not apply for Centrelink and managed to get by because I managed to find a pretty cheap place to rent.

This shit is not possible today. And even in 2016 rent was already starting to become expensive I just got lucky.

Housing is THE problem of our generation.

I’ve managed to get “on the property ladder” but we’re quickly pulling it up behind us for many, many people.

And the fact you think corporations, who clearly do not have humanity’s best interest at heart, will actually drive real wage growth, with AI, is frankly hilarious.
