Comments: More on City of Angeles. , https://youtu.be/D1m1bLSFHCc?si=kicvM7wJ6ytRY-iF
Comments: What has really disappeared and changed from 1950s and 60s are the good paying skilled union jobs that did not need college degrees. Whether it was a manufacturing job or a janitor for a school district. Many of these type of people were homeowners and that is the number one feature of the American dream
Comments: Beckham invested $25M and formed Inter Miami in 2014. Now the club is worth $1.5B. , Messi and the American Dream. , https://youtu.be/0MPr3UHcTog?si=Y-sWNYO7o6Z_Lpll
Comments: Zinsky: I think you added retiring in Portugal to the American dream ![[smile]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif "Smile - :)") . But basically you are saying MAGA but MAGA has it's baggage that you did not care when you were making personal growth in this country.I personally think the issue is that the distribution of wealth and where people live is tilted mostly towards the two coasts. Finding a way to get people to move to more middle of America where there is less population can help a lot of things. I have been reading about this a little and can get into or we can talk in generic discussions like American dream is gone, or my minimum wage job paid for the rent etc.

Comments: Most of us achieved the American dream, I know I did. I’m very thankful for that. My “complaint” is that the American dream is getting harder and harder to achieve. It shouldn’t be. This is the land of immigrants. We are the foundation of this nation. So much wealth and prosperity was created from young, hardworking immigrants. For America to stay on the top of the food chain, we need to keep the dream alive. I think we (the achieved dreamers) need to pave a way for new dreams, whatever way possible.
Comments: Zinsky, Even with all those $ numbers that you posted I still believe that the US is the only place that a RELATIVE comfortable life can be made than anywhere else.
Comments: kAmkAr, I personally seemed to have too much time in my hands!!! What is the average salary for a fast food restaurant manager? I did some digging and found this, “Fast food restaurant manager salaries typically range between $32,000 and $57,000 yearly.”! I’m sure the lower range is for less expensive areas of the country. Can you see yourself raising couple of kids, having a home, two cars and the rest with that salary? Cost for three things have gone way, way above the inflation and salary rates. 1- Housing 2- College 3- Healthcare I also worked in a fast food restaurant when I started in America. I was making less than $4/hr in DC area. I had 3 roommates and my rent was $150/month. My college tuition was (in state) less than $800/semester. School would provide health insurance for free (basic stuff, not major). Due to my income, college was free (grants which hasn’t changed much since then). Same kid today in the same situation would make $10-15/hr max. Rent is probably closer to $800-$1,000/month with roommates. Lowest tuition is around $10,000/semester which grants would only cover $3k, if that. Let’s assume food, car, gas, books, supplies and clothing is doubled in the same time (I bought my first car for $200 and it lasted 3 years and gas was under $1). You do the math and tell me if this kid can get a degree, get married, raise couple of kids… It’s not me hating America here! I’m just saying with cost of college and the rest, it’s really, really hard to achieve American dreams these days.
Comments: Why is it that I find myself in agreement with both Shahin and Zinsky? I think for majority of the content of their conversation they're also in agreement. It's just that they have too much free time 😁 on hand and they want to focus on the parts they don't agree with one another. The US might not be what it was like Zinsky pointed out but it's still possible for a high school diploma or even a non diploma to start working in any chain fast food or grocery stores and over years with hard work make it the store management level and then more. With a job like that it's possible to make a comfortable living. Reason I used fast food is that for years probably like some of you I worked In my young years while attending college. I recall I was getting offers to take store management but I wouldn't due to school. |
