  No, most nepo babies are really that out of touch with reality. Remember “if you’re homeless just buy a house”.

    This kind of satire is a new way to farm engagement on LinkedIn, it’s not even remotely funny after the 100th post like this, but LinkedIn is the worst of all social media so it’s kinda on brand.

    Satire just doesn’t exist on Lemmy, does it?

    Even when it’s pointed out to you, you still argue.

      Poe’s law means that it’s impossible to know for sure.

      There’s a lot of loonies on linkedin.

    Which also was a satire.

      Yeah, and? In order to satire a thing there must be the thing or it makes no sense, right?

        Well. Maybe. Too a degree for sure. But this is also a tribal “they vs us” where its not important what they acctualy are. Even if they exists, this misrepresents them and the scale thr issue.

        How often did you insult the “just buy a home” girl and wonder how she could be so dumb and out of thougch? Well she wasnt. She don’t exists. Even if nepo babies do.

  I hope this post is. My cousin made a similar post on social media about owning a house. He was ranting that the current generation was lazy and didn’t know how to budget. Everyone should easily be able to buy a house. The house he owned was bought with the money he made by selling his first house which was inherited. Some people are really just that dumb.

    I did some maths yesterday, after hearing said that wages have gone down by a third every decade since 1970… meaning (if I did the maths correctly) in this coming decade wages are less than a tenth what they were in the 1970s.

    A quick search just now suggests house prices are about 4 times more expensive in real terms over the same period.

    So that’s fine. We just have to pull on our bootstraps over 40 times harder for better budgeting enough to buy a house.

  While this is most likely rage bait this isn’t far from human self perception.

  There were multiple studies on this with similar setups. Eg they’d have students play monopoly and give one of them significantly more cash to start with. Not secretly either. One would think this student would understand that this is an insane advantage but the study found that most of the participants believed that they won by playing well.

  So even with the most obvious advantage humans will think that it was their own merit that lead to their success.

    Ah come on, how dumb can a person be? Even if it was purely american and they picked the dumbest of the dumb, this’d be too dumb.

      Well it turns out thinking isn’t necessary, you can just say whatever is the first thing that seems right and move on. 'Merica.
