I blame Congress, the two-party system and the Federal Bank for all the problems here and abroad.

Born 1986, and the biggest failure aren't the prices which are lower than today but the fact the wages, espacially lower and middle class wages haven't increased at the same rate.

Everything increased in prices just the salaries stayed the same.

I blame big companies which built (almost) a monopoly in their field, crushing all small and middle sized companies on their way, dictating low wages.

I love listening to old people bitch about millennials when they bought their house with a coke tab and 80 cents. Now it’s worth 1.2 mil. Thanks Gma!
