In France, hiring is priced like a luxury good. To put €39,000 in a worker’s pocket, an employer may need to spend close to €95,000. That’s not a typo—it’s the weight of payroll charges that double the real cost of a job. iCalculator shows that a gross salary of €95,000 …

The average American makes $59,000 a year. But to buy a house? You now need $116,000. Four percent of Americans earn that. The rest of us? Renting forever while landlords get rich off our paychecks. — middleclassparty (@middle_class_us) August 14, 2025
It now takes an income of 124k to buy the median priced home in America. Only 18% of single Americans make 100k. 62% of homebuyers are married. Lower rates won’t fix family formation.

Apple’s $2.5B expansion in Harrodsburg, Kentucky is being sold as a reshoring win. But the plant already made 90% of iPhone and Watch cover glass. The “100% made in the U.S.” headline is a rounding error dressed as a revolution. The real shift? Corning’s entire Harrodsburg facility is now Apple-exclusive. …

Insurance so pricey you might as well choose eviction over illness. Told ya. More and more Americans are going to either ditch health insurance or become homeless. This is what happens when the dollar is destroyed by endless fiat currency printing, which continues unabated under Trump. The American people are …
Trump ended America’s free ride on Europe’s defense bills. Now, $578 million in new U.S. weapons for Ukraine aren’t coming out of American pockets, they’re being paid for by Europe, led by the Netherlands. “The Netherlands has committed €500 million, or roughly $578 million, to purchase U.S.-made weapons and send …

The housing boom feels permanent until it isn’t. Case‑Shiller data showed home prices slowing again in May, with the 20-city index up just 2.3 % year-over-year and down 0.3 % from April.

Is Donald Trump going to fire Jerome Powell? And what will the impact be on the housing market? It seems likely that the Fed will cut interest rates over the next year, which could re-stimulate the housing market. And potentially push home prices up. But will that actually happen? Home …

Elon Musk didn’t mince words: “The dollar will be worth nothing if the US doesn’t do something about its national debt.” That wasn’t hyperbole. That was a warning. A new study confirms what many already feel in their bones. Most Americans can no longer afford even a minimal quality of …
