[ { "content": "**Wages?** Yes, millennials would love to have the post-inflation wages that boomers had. Right now, after inflation most are working for _less than_ ¾ of what boomers made in the exact same job with the exact same responsibilities and at the exact same stage of their career. Many are working for _less than ½ of the boomer equivalent._\n\nLook at many blue-collar jobs, like machining, and it is as little as ⅓ as much. Construction is even less, unless you are in something particularly specialty such as HVAC or Plumbing. And _even there_ it is still a much smaller fraction of what boomers earned.\n\nPlus, so many younger people were sold a false bill of goods with regards to higher education. “get a degree or you will be stuck flipping burgers”, we were told. Well, guess what? That saddled a lot of younger people with massive student-loan debt - which cannot be discharged in bankruptcy - while wages were crammed down by employers enjoying a tsunami of higher-educated people. And now most employers _demand_ a degree even for jobs that have no need for one, thereby perpetuating the saddling of our young people with needless amounts of debt right at the age when they most desperately need to be free of debt.\n\n**Job security?** It used to be that people could work for a company their entire life. And if times got bad, companies would dig into their own resources to keep their workers employed even if it drove the company deep into the red. Companies _knew the value_ of standing behind their employees.\n\nNow people are fired _en masse_ at a moment’s notice because “investors” aren’t getting the dividends they want. All corporate metrics are skewed for purely the next quarter, ignoring the long-term in an attempt to guarantee obscene levels of profit every quarter. And more importantly, _companies are leveraging the ability to trivially mass-fire employees as a way of suppressing wages._\n\nCompanies no longer have any loyalty to their employees -- so why should millennials have any loyalty to their employers? Just because? Sorry, _not good enough._ It takes two to tango, and companies are too punch-drunk on obscene levels of profits to pay attention to employees.\n\n**Job mobility?** It used to be that you could get into a factory by starting at the bottom, sweeping the factory floor. Or doing janitorial up in the offices. Or just being a gopher. That worked because _you were actually employed by that company,_ so other managers could trivially chat with your manager. If another manager liked your work ethic, he could ask your manager about you, and if he liked what he heard he could earmark you for a trainee position elsewhere higher up.\n\nThese days almost all companies are horizontally integrated - anything not directly related to the core competency of the company is outsourced. So not only are those factory-sweeper and janitorial positions outsourced to other companies, but the person working that particular job might not be back on the shift that covers that client for days or even weeks. This turns any sort of a previously-organic “foot in the door” job into a worker-drone position that goes nowhere, because no manager is going to reach out to a _different company_ to ask for some job-performance background about their employee. There is _no chance_ for anyone to organically climb within a company anymore.\n\n**Housing?** Wowzers. What an elephant in the room.\n\nIn Canada in particular, housing typically obeyed the one-third rule from the 50s until the 80s. As in, mortgage payments were usually one-third of monthly income, and overall home values were no more than 3× annual income. This has become completely decoupled from reality, particularly so since the early 2000s, as the average home now costs 18× what the average worker earns in a year.\n\n_And this is the average across Canada as a whole._\n\nPlaces like Kelowna are up to 23×, and Vancouver are up to 28×. So a lot of people under the age of 40 and almost everyone under the age of 30 are just never going to be able to purchase a home without massive amounts of hand-me-down intergenerational wealth, and are being locked into being life-long renters… the cost of home ownership is just so vastly out of reach, and increasing so fast, that they will never be able to afford to get off of the rental merry-go-round.\n\nThis Canadian housing bubble was _triggered by the boomers._ Most of this housing increase over the last 20 years is a direct result of “investment” in the market, of “investors” buying up 5, 10, 15 homes to rent out for that sweet labour-free/parasitical revenue stream, thereby taking older “starter homes” off the market and denying them to people who wanted to stop being renters. The same even happened with new construction, with “investors” buying up homes “on spec” before even the first clod of earth was dug up, and then re-selling that home for multiples of it’s original purchase price just before completion.\n\n_None of these “investment strategies” could ever be possible without massive amounts of pre-existing wealth,_ and most of the people employing these strategies _are boomers._\n\n***\n\nIt used to be that the average, middle-income service-level wage - say, being a shoe salesman or a VCR salesman - could earn a person enough to afford a mortgage on a 3Brdm home, two cars in the garage, support a non-working partner and several children, with enough left over to take a decent vacation once a year and still be able to invest generously for retirement. My own parents did this, so I know that it happened.\n\nThis used to be the norm in the 50s to the 80s. This has been stolen from the younger generations. And pretty much all of it is no longer possible for the average millennial.\n\nAnd I am speaking as someone who is already in my sixth decade on this rock, with my own home and a wife… I refuse to be blind to the struggles of younger people, I refuse to be ignorant to the massive barriers thrown up in their path by the boomers who enjoyed the greatest economic period in history… and then shut the door after themselves.\n\nMillennials are checking out of this society, because this society has served up absolutely no benefits for them. This society _has actively abandoned them,_ and is punishing them for failing to succeed _in spite_ of the lack of the same benefits and opportunities that boomers enjoyed.\n\nMillennials are foregoing marriage, going childless, and not saving for retirement because _not only_ do they barely have enough to survive on in the first place, but they also never expect _to be able to_ retire _at any age._ The employment and housing and financial opportunities are _just not there_ without having been born with a silver spoon in their mouth.", "metadata": { "author": "rekabis", "controversiality": 0, "created_utc": 1720556197, "downvotes": 0, "flair": null, "is_submitter": false, "no_follow": true, "removed_by_category": null, "score": 0, "suggested_sort": null, "title": null, "total_awards_received": 0, "upvote_ratio": null, "upvotes": 0 }, "role": "user" }, { "content": "Your last paragraph suggests that millennials are cutting off their nose to spite their face.

They realize that no matter how hard they work, how much they destroy their physical health or mental health, they will likely never achieve those “goals”.\n\nSo they define their own goals.\n\nTo carve out a work-life balance in a job that will never give them enough to retire on anyhow, to say nothing of the long-term stability needed to make financial plans with.\n\nTo live in a region where rent is at least a _tolerable_ 50-70% of their monthly wages, instead of something even higher.\n\nTo not have the children that would drive them into homelessness and destitution due to the costs involved.\n\nBoth my niece and nephew will never have children because even they admitted that it would drive them - accredited professionals, both - into poverty just to raise said child, _even with_ a working partner. IIRC my niece even had her tubes tied, just to be sure, and my nephew is considering the same kind of permanent solution. And it makes _absolute logical and rational sense_ for them to do so.\n\n> How do you think that’ll work out?\n\nIt will turn out worse for the boomers.

Boogie's explanation is completely plausible, especially as a medical layman.

Just because he has one or two gaps in his story doesn't mean he's lying; I have tons of patients who completely misunderstand everything that's happening to them and cannot correctly explain their diagnosis or the treatments of it, but they still have the condition we're treating them for.\n\nThis is an extremely ignorant approach to an issue that Destiny has no actual knowledge of. You can't become a Doctor by utilizing Google search. I understand to the average person it might seem shocking that--for example--there are diseases that are diagnosed while not being 100% conclusively determined, and that there are diseases that are treated before a biopsy is performed... but this is just true. I have seen this many times in hospital settings.

That said, he has a clear epistemological framework he uses to refine his knowledge and usually arrive at reliable results (and he usually does appropriately hedge his medical knowledge).\n\nNow I've only seen the destiny video ~40mins long but...\n\nI'm an MD and I... don't feel Boogie's explanation is very likely for PV (polycythemia vera). Maybe it can be said is he misunderstood and thought that all polycythemia was a cancer, but even so it seems dodgy. This guy has almost every single risk factor for secondary polycythemia, he has OSA, COPD (?i think), TRT.. even just the OSA would be enough tbh. He talks about having hormonal markers of PV. Absent a bone marrow (which he said he's getting) so we don't have all the clonal markers, essentially we are just looking at JAK2 mutations, which if he did have in addition to polycythemia would be strongly suggestive of PV. \n\nI don't specifically know what diagnostic criteria are used in the states, but for PV you'd usually need:\n\n1. Increased Hb or HCT AND\n\n2. JAK2 mutation (either one) AND\n\n3. Bone marrow biopsy \n\n(some will use low EPO)\n\nI think some haematologists might diagnose and treat on two criteria, but you need all three to confirm where I'm from. If this person does have PV he'd fall into high risk PV because he said he'd previously had an MI, which means he'd mostly be treated with a cytoreductive agent, probably hydroxyurea in the first instance. If he was intolerant to this he might get ruxolitinib or something like busulfan (mayyybe). Otherwise it's as he said, aspirin + CVS risk modification + phlebotomy ('bloodletting').\n\n\nI could be very wrong, but I'm sure that most would presumptively treat polycythemia with aspirin + lifestyle modification + potentially phlebotomy, but wouldn't use cytoreductive therapies unless they confirmed PV (with at least JAK2 or a marrow). They CERTAINLY wouldn't treat with cytoreduction without these tests in someone with OSA/TRT etc. The pre test probability of secondary polycythemia is too high in a patient like that. To be clear, you would NOT treat the 'cancer' aspect of PV with cytoreduction unless you'd confirmed it.\n\n\nJust as an aside, and not to diminish the experience of anyone who does suffer from PV, but even among haematologists these sorts of myoproliferative disorders (PV and ET) are kind of 'technically' cancer. In a clinical sense, or the implication of the word cancer to the general public, they do not act in a similar way to cancer, nor do they confer the same prognostic significance that a diagnosis of leukemia or lymphoma might (specifically staying within haematological disorders here, solid organ malignancies are a different story again). They are still chronic health conditions that require management though, I'm not trying to diminish that. I'd need to do more reading because I don't work specifically in the space, but in terms of clinical significance I wouldn't be surprised if someone who developed PV at the age of 50 had a better life expectancy than someone who developed secondary polycythemia at 50, in a population sense.\n\n\nDestiny exists more in streamer world obviously, and understands the motivations of the people involved, and I think it was a constellation of behaviours that involved manipulation and lying that led to suspicions. Of course this guy could just show his JAK2 mutation or the bone marrow results to confirm it, but from a clinical standpoint (in terms of his health) I don't even really think it'd make much of a difference if it's primary or secondary. This all with the caveat that I have no specific knowledge of this person's medical history and haven't worked in haematology for a while.\n\nEdit:\nhttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S000649711852173X\nThis is a quick paper I found that shows that survival was better among PV than secondary (although I would have expected this result so don't rely on it because I might be just seeking confirming evidence).\nMedian age at diagnosis was 72 for PV and 63 for secondary (!) and yet the secondary still had worse outcomes.

TLDR: JP is misunderstanding or misrepresenting the data. \n\nThe study he is referencing, I believe, is the one published in BMJ in 2022 that looked at incidence of myocarditis status post vaccination, comparing age groups, gender, and specific vaccine received in over 42 million people to look for patterns. In vaccinated groups, they found young males aged 18-29 years old had the highest incidence rate ratio (IRR) of 1.33 when they received the AstraZeneca vaccine and it was 1.55 after the booster for Pfizer. The IRR for myocarditis after SARS-Cov-2 infection without vaccination is 11.14, with IRR dropping to around 5 if you are infected shortly after receiving the first dose of the vaccine. So he’s not wrong that young males were affected the most by myocarditis amongst all the vaccinated groups but, at this moment, he is incorrect in saying the cohort of vaccinated individuals had more cases of myocarditis. We have millions upon millions of data points that validate the vaccine was protective & the pathophysiology that it being more likely to cause myocarditis compared to viral infection doesn’t make sense. Viral myocarditis has been in medical literature and daily practice well before COVID. \n\nNow the group that has the absolute lowest IRR would be the pre-2020 cohort who never got COVID, but like I said even then the risk of myocarditis after viral infection was always relatively present, since viruses aren’t a novel aspect of our world.", "metadata": { "author": "TheLifeOfGimli17", "controversiality": 0, "created_utc": 1720401043, "downvotes": 0, "flair": null, "is_submitter": false, "no_follow": false, "removed_by_category": null, "score": 83, "suggested_sort": null, "title": null, "total_awards_received": 0, "upvote_ratio": null, "upvotes": 83 }, "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "I live in a small community of 150,000 (Darwin, Northern Australia) and I personally know 5 guys that have myocarditis and another who is being assessed right now.", "metadata": { "author": "carbon-arc", "controversiality": 1, "created_utc": 1720401329, "downvotes": 0, "flair": null, "is_submitter": false, "no_follow": false, "removed_by_category": null, "score": 8, "suggested_sort": null, "title": null, "total_awards_received": 0, "upvote_ratio": null, "upvotes": 8 }, "role": "user" }, { "content": "What do you think of the idea that COVID can cause myocarditis?\n\nI have always understood that it can be a complication of just about any infection.", "metadata": { "author": "Tangential0", "controversiality": 0, "created_utc": 1720430962, "downvotes": 0, "flair": null, "is_submitter": false, "no_follow": false, "removed_by_category": null, "score": 4, "suggested_sort": null, "title": null, "total_awards_received": 0, "upvote_ratio": null, "upvotes": 4 }, "role": "assistant" } ]

Because he has incredible name recognition, a solid brand, and he's a known quantity amongst particularly older voting blocks, making him a safe bet. Was Biden the best operator of the 2020 nomination? Doubtful, with his cognitive decline, unless you view the president as a more symbolic or figurehead like role. Biden was fine, but there were certainly much better potential choices, however these choices likely had no way to break through. The same can be said of Trump, Trump can only really exist because he's not only a billionaire that can self fund as a political dissident, but someone who's been in public consciousness for like 40 years, on the news, then on reality TV.", "metadata": { "author": "T46BY", "controversiality": 0, "created_utc": 1728637332, "downvotes": 0, "flair": null, "is_submitter": false, "no_follow": false, "removed_by_category": null, "score": 4, "suggested_sort": null, "title": null, "total_awards_received": 0, "upvote_ratio": null, "upvotes": 4 }, "role": "assistant" }, { "content": "You forgot his post where he claims that weather reporters getting death threats is the fault of academia since it got so political. \nCompletely ignoring the fact that the only reason why climate has even gotten a political issue in the first place, is because half the population believes Jewish space lasers control the weather and climate change is a hoax by the deep state.", "metadata": { "author": "ninjatoast31", "controversiality": 0, "created_utc": 1728642343, "downvotes": 0, "flair": null, "is_submitter": false, "no_follow": false, "removed_by_category": null, "score": 4, "suggested_sort": null, "title": null, "total_awards_received": 0, "upvote_ratio": null, "upvotes": 4 }, "role": "user" }, { "content": "Probably wasn't cooking in that one tbh", "metadata": { "author": "goat-lobster-reborn", "controversiality": 0, "created_utc": 1728644247, "downvotes": 0, "flair": null, "is_submitter": true, "no_follow": true, "removed_by_category": null, "score": 1, "suggested_sort": null, "title": null, "total_awards_received": 0, "upvote_ratio": null, "upvotes": 1 }, "role": "assistant" } ]

They were well aware of his state, but still backed him completely, refusing to even hold a real primary, making it clear that Biden would be the nominee. This whole primary thing wasn't just Biden's stubbornness, it was also the DNC completely backing him. And now after one bad debate performance, the whole establishment turned on Biden and forced him out of the race ~3 months before the election.\n\nI hope this was the right choice, but we'll see in November.
