That point 30 years ago was like the last chance to get housing at any reasonable cost. Even the crash of 08 just sorta brought the prices back to normalish and started going up pretty fast.
I love imagining Hitler rolling over in his grave being super pissed off about being compared to such an unlikeable dweeb like trump.
You should look more into what Hitler was actually like personally. The dude was basically a giant incel.
Your parents probably voted for Nixon and Reagan
They probably bought a house built on top of an ancient Indian burial ground, too.
People live to forget where all that cheap land came from, back in the 70s/80s. A century of genocide and oh hey where did all this Terra Nullis come from? Amazing.
Fun fact: The comparison isn't even completely inaccurate, Hitler's fundamental ideology (social darwinism) is also at the core of Trumps thoughts, see this long article.
Eugenics is the real Woke Mind Virus. It's been rampaging through human civilization for centuries.
It is innaccurate to call him the 2.0 model though
Hitler v1.0.0.0001
fatter model to survive harsher winters
Heavily insulated for protection from 'non-existent' climate change.
Ah, they learned from the Russian front I see..
Probably closer to 8.0 at this point. From Chang Kai Shek to Augusta Pinochet to Idi Amin to Bong Bong Marcos, we've been minting new fascists practically every decade.
Yeah, but this time it's the 30s
Lol all I picture is Hitler telling Donald he is the knock off and Trump saying he is the upgrade.
It's like the fascists wanted a new Hitler but went to the cheapest Chinese factory they could find and failed to specify most of the parameters (as I understand it, Chinese manufacturers are pretty good at following specifications, but anything you don't specify might as well be randomized).
And then, when they sent an early sample to show that they're about 33% of the way there, they just cancelled the rest and went with that sample.
The funny/sad part is, the actual Hitler was a beta version of that same process.
The guy was a fucking mess. He had gas that could clear a ballroom. Was addicted to every substance available, had incestuous and pedophilic tendencies, and thought that a fedora and dog whip made him look cool.
The whip thing was him reminding people he was literally fighting socialists in street fights, so unfortunately it did resonate with his base. Like Punisher tattoos and rebel flags, they like cringe shit.
Remove the bit about the whip and you could be describing Trump (though the addiction part might not apply to him and I don't know if Trump's reported stench is coming from gas).
My parents in their 30s: let's vote for Reagan
FTFY
My parents in their 30s: unemployment for people our age is at 20%, interest rate on mortgages is at 18%, all that's available is McJobs...
Gen X didn't have it easy after the boomers filled up all positions up to the mid/late 70s.
OP's parents are probably older.
That or gen X is completely glossed over as they always are and the Zoomer > Millennial > Boomer idea is maintained
As a gen-xer, I find all of this super annoying and I'm thrilled not to be a part of it
They've just never been that interesting
Ok sure.
puts on a Weird Al track
As my mother would say, "Whatever."
Never mind
Version 2.0 implies an improved version.
Version 0.1a is more apt because of the shoddy programming and rollout.
Trump is just the Hitler we have at home.
He is more of a Ozon.ru Hitler.
v2.0_rc-1
Damn bro there are kids on here go easy
Maybe where you went to school.
2.0 just means I've decided the bugs I've introduced since 1.0 are now "features".
Version 2.0 doesn't necessarily mean improved. If we go by semantic versioning and we leave the compatibility aspect out then 2.0 just means a significant amount of features have been added to warrant a major version increment.
Usually features mean better user experience but not necessarily. For example Hitler 2.0 would have less focus on antisemitism, more focus on general racism. Feature change, but not really an improvement.
