My father was retired and has been passed on for decades so he didn't have to deal with the economy of today. I'm a Millennial. Everyone I know is a Millennial. Imagine a Millennial in Los Angeles with no education affording a house, a spouse, a new car, and several children. It's fantasyland. A pipe dream. Mass immigration has stifled wages. We imported huge amounts of cheap so called "low-skilled" (there's nothing low-skilled about building a house) workers. That stagnated wages for the vast majority of Americans. If you aren't working in healthcare or another industry with huge growth your wages are much lower than where they should be. We shipped millions of good jobs out of the country to employ cheap foreign workers to make goods for less and increase profits. Have costs gone down? Can people afford more cars made in Mexico? Can people afford better refrigerators made in China? Ask yourself what the gain has been from the above two policies. Ask yourself if you or anyone you know has benefited from them. Think about who did benefit from them and stop calling people bots because they aren't retarded.

enjoying life, not being a cookiecutter , good for the Ginny

i remember the first time i ate at the white mana. it was the very first day i had ever gotten my license. i just wanted to go around and explore, and i ended up getting horribly lost in jersey city. i was honestly terrified. i was just some punk kid from the suburbs and now i was in real, unfamiliar, urban territory. i pulled into the lot, and sat there trying to figure out where i was and how to get back home before i ran out of gas. i finally broke, went in, completely oblivious to where i was and what i was about to eat. ive been a foodie all my life, so to calm down i decided that id eat some food. ill never forget just how kind and understanding the staff was, and how good the food tasted. they let me use the phone to call home, and thank god my mom answered. if it was my stepdad id still be at the white mana today. she was able to come to my rescue and tell me how the hell i had to get home. jersey city is a place i feel i could always know more about. the roads are confusing, the drivers are assholes, the rush hour is painful, but the people there are some of the best in the world, as long as you look in the right place. this video really brought back that memory in full, very well done.

to be real honest, the reason why small town restaurants are mediocre is that they're either the only restaurants available or the old fashioned, really good restaurants that were there are driven out of business by big chains because locals buy the cheaper option so that local flavor just dies off.
