    Maybe if Peter was paid a living wage, had rent that wasn’t price fixed, wasn’t at the mercy of artificial inflation, could afford to buy a home without an outrageous interest rate, a retirement age and pension that could support his retirement, and had all the economical advantages the boomers had… he wouldn’t be in a bar drinking himself into an early grave.

    But, let’s blame Spider-Man.

      Spiderman was born in the 50s. He absolutely got all the economic advantages the boomers had.

        Ehhh, that’s kinda like Batman though. Peter Parker is eternally a teenager/young twenties, just like Bruce Wayne is always in his late twenties/ early thirties, except that one comic.

        there is “easier” and then there is just mathematically impossible.

        a house used to be less than 5 times your yearly salary in any region, now we are looking at halt a million+

        I just don’t want to participate in a society that literally doesn’t care about it’s future or it’s children enough to actually help them.

        It’s not giving up it’s just a refusal to add to the problem and fight against a community of individuals trying to take as much from everyone else as possible.

        And unfortunately that means dying young, poor, and unable to help myself.
