Rest in Peace Middle Class: The Tragic Decline of the Economy Hurts Generations #housing #realestate #news

The death of the middle class in America has been a slow and painful process that has left many struggling to make ends meet. With the rising cost of living, stagnant wages, and a lack of affordable housing, more and more people are finding themselves pushed out of the middle class and into poverty.

For decades, the middle class has been the backbone of the American economy. They have been the consumers who drive demand for goods and services, the homeowners who invest in their communities, and the workers who keep the economy moving. But as income inequality has grown and the cost of living has skyrocketed, many middle-class families have found themselves unable to keep up.

One of the key factors contributing to the decline of the middle class is the rising cost of housing. In many cities across the country, the cost of buying or renting a home has become unaffordable for the average worker. This has forced many middle-class families to move further away from job opportunities, schools, and other essential services, further straining their finances.

Additionally, wages for many middle-class workers have remained flat or even declined in recent years, making it difficult for families to keep up with the rising cost of living. This has resulted in a growing number of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, with little to no savings to fall back on in case of an emergency.

The COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated these issues, with many middle-class workers losing their jobs or facing reduced hours as businesses have shuttered or scaled back operations. This has left many families struggling to pay their bills and put food on the table, further weakening an already fragile middle class.

As the middle class continues to shrink, the future of the American economy looks increasingly uncertain. Without a strong middle class to drive demand and support businesses, the economy risks falling into a cycle of decline and stagnation.

It is clear that bold action is needed to reverse the decline of the middle class and ensure a more equitable and sustainable economy for all Americans. This may include policies to increase wages, make housing more affordable, and provide support for struggling families.

For now, the death of the middle class serves as a stark reminder of the challenges facing American society and the urgent need for change. Unless action is taken to address these issues, the future looks bleak for generations to come. #RIPMiddleClass 😢🪦

    The destruction of the economy is no accident. US Democrats are working with global elites to dismantle the United States economically and demographically in order to make the US into a week cog of the new world system.

    Reduce the population and stop spending money and bam the discounts will begin

    40 acres and a mule gentlemen… the deal only expired for weak men.

    Absolutely they don't want the middle class , because it's the middle class that is the core of a country

  5. @relfyem

    Also, 300,000 jobs created and filled isn't the same as 300,000 jobs retained longterm.

    It's not a bad thing for the market to crash its happened before to other countries and eventually things work out but not without some warts.

  7. @bossmodl3thalpoppa484

    The bottom fell out before and it will do the same thing…its just a matter of time

    I Bought my house at age 21 from working hard and saving up, while renting from 18-21. I'm 23 now and yeah it seems a little harder but it's not something you should give up on entirely. Just because you can't afford it after 6 months of saving doesn't mean it's not possible, things take time and effort, and it sounds like you don't have a work ethic or any patience

    The statistics are up and down! Guess we will see.

    Glass half empty kinda guy..

    ~10-11mil jobs lost from the government shutting everything down for Covid. That's Between people who were forcibly laid off, temporarily laid off, and the thousands of small businesses who went out of business because the government wouldn't allow them to work.
    The Biden Admin counts all of those people going back to work or finding different jobs as "Jobs Created" and their number is around 13mil. They're also including part time jobs in that number and people who are getting 2nd or 3rd jobs.
    The reality is, there's maybe 1mil new jobs after over 3 years of this Administration, but our population has grown about 20mil in that time. Mainly due to criminal aliens illegally crossing the border and the Biden Admin refusing to deport anyone. All of these people are living on the taxpayers' dime.

    I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. We are currently in a housing market bubble. Nobody is buying houses. Supply and demand says prices
    Will come down.

  13. @morewheels2060

    The middle class doesn't exist anymore. Is broke or 1%

  14. @lifeinthemoscowmetro

    We are in a massive paradigm shift, so old ideas are old. Robots, ai, ubi, digital currency, digital id and vax passport are the new new.

    Man all the doom and gloom perpetuated by social media and unfettered access to put your option out there. Yes jobs will be lost in a recession, yes income gets tight, no this isn’t the first time, or the second time, or the umpteeth time this has happened. The reason it looks so bleak is that a bunch of people who sound confidant can get out there and spread messages like this causing FOMO and pushing people to make bad financial decisions on the fear that they can’t wait. You’re probably right about the interest rates, minor dip for political reasons at the sept/oct quarterly meeting of the reserve and then back up in January and up again throughout next year, but once those rates get to high house pricing will come down or you wind up with a bunch of empty house on the market primed for squatters. This happened in the late 70s, early 80s and yea times are going to be rough, but as with all things the economy is cyclical and will bounce back on the other side. Use this time to hunker down, live below your means, and set yourself up for success, learn a new skill or trade, work on making yourself indispensable at work, and most of all don’t;t panic buy a damned thing. Panic buying is the enemy of long term financial health.

    If you were born in the 80's or after you're screwed and won't be able to buy a house.

    Sorry you’re miserable! Life is short. Try to lighten up buddy.
