    I’m a millennial and worked since I was legally old enough in my state. I did use a small loan for my first car and paid for my own insurance policy and gas. I went into the military as soon as I could, worked hard and bought a house.

    I bought my house during the housing bubble burst and couldn’t really afford rent in a one bedroom apartment. Rent kept raising every year as did housing prices. I was very worried about food, electricity, water and rent every month. I made too much to get any benefits. I moved to a shithole in a small meth town and then the bubble burst and buying a house was cheaper than rent.

    I was lucky. Very lucky. People now aren’t so lucky and are working hard but calculating grace periods every month to pay some other critical bill. Going without, skipping meals, living on the bare necessities and this piece of shit that has zero perspective because ‘he made it’ in time just says “they aren’t working”.

    All while unemployment has been at a historical low all while there is a housing availability crisis. He has to be very willfully ignorant and thus dishonest.
