The American Dream is no longer about a family, a home, and a respectable living. Liberalism and feminism has destroyed all of the stability that young people entering society once enjoyed.
The american dream now revolves around the struggle to become debt-free, as entire industries are being destroyed and reshaped to accommodate a liberal millennial dystopia.

The United States is in an era of great destruction, as the old institutional way of life created by past generations is being systematically destroyed by the incoming generation i.e. the millennials. This transitional period is cyclical and has happened before – most recently during the Great Crash of 1929. Creative destruction is essential for the nation’s survival, as the millennials are rewriting America’s next journey – much different than before.
Already, the preferences of millennials’ are killing dozens of industries such as department stores, diamonds, food chains, and real estate. Life decisions such as marriage and a starter home are being delayed or totally abandoned.

the whole “Diamond Wedding/ Engagement Ring” was a clever marketing scheme of DeBeers… word.
Diamonds are about as useful a pea gravel, and now that we have synthetic material to replace industrial diamonds the stones would be worthless were it not for jewelry. However, ask Patrice Lumumba what happens when you cross the diamond cartel.
The choices made by millennials to not buy diamonds for their girl friends and get married are symptoms of a free market that has been systematically destroyed. So too, retail stores are going down not because consumers do not want their products. Rather, it is because they lack the money. To reverse these trends, we must change the fraudulent system that is bringing about our demise. Here is a proposed solution. First, we must petition our lawmakers to get rid of the Federal Reserve and its Federal Reserve Notes, which are interest-bearing debt instruments, and replace them with asset-backed, non-interest-bearing… Read more »
