Because in the 90s that was like 30th percentile status, not 95th percentile status.
I'm fifty one years old and just kinda wanna break down what I've seen in my life:
My grandparents generation: Was able to buy housing, get healthcare, receive retirement. Note: They lived through the great depression, and categorically never spent any money that wasn't necessary, even when they had several boatloads of it.
My parents generation: Housing was achievable but not given (I remember a whole lot of single wides, apartments, and duplexes among the adults of my childhood). Healthcare was affordable. Retirement was promised but not delivered.
My generation: Housing was achievable if you moved to the sticks and loved you some Jesus at the local Baptist Church, but not in the cities. We got a taste of healthcare twenty five years ago, but then yeah no. Retirement? Hahahahaha! We got 401(k)s forced in us, and they never materialized into dick. Many flatout vaporized when our marriages fizzled out.
My kid's generation. Seriously, just die in the street. You'll get absolute fuck all nothing, and you'll like it as the older generations blame you for our fuckups.
My great contribution is that I'll be able to leave my house free and clear of mortgage to my spawn when I check out. She can live in it, sell it, rent it, burn it to the ground. Whatever she wants, but damnit, I'm giving her the opportunity to do it, which most of her peers will never have.
Sounds like you're a good father, sir
What if in the future her family’s possession of a house is used as justification for judging her “capitalist scum” and she gets sent to the gulags for it?
Just kidding. Not that that can’t happen, but you shouldn’t plan for that.
It’s good that you’re doing the work necessary to give your daughter some security and stability.
The show was also conceived with Bart as the main character, with the world being from Bart's perspective. As a kid Bart's age of course your dad is dumb. Homer is the irl name of Matt Groenig's dad.
As the show progressed the writers ended up latching onto Homer more and he gradually became the core of the show. Also the characters "Flanderized" (literally!) more and more as time went on and he became more ridiculous. The Frank Grimes episode is pretty genius for capturing all this in a funny way.
He is not, see the Frank Grimes episode
Or Grimey, as he liked to be called.
Yes, that was absolutely what he wanted to be called.
"I'm gonna touch these high voltage wires because I'M HOMER SIM-"...
loser? no. stupid? yes.
And when I say stupid I mean stupid fresh
Why do things that happen to stupid people keep happening to me?
OP lives above a bowling alley and bellow another bowling alley.
Why would you think that? I need an explanation for this joke.
It's a reference to the episode with Frank Grimes. He's a guy who does everything by the book and has little to show for it while Homer bumbles through life and gets everything. Frank is super envious of Homer. Excellent episode.
My dudes.... He has three kids.
The dog doesn't count as a kid!
one is a baby so barely counts
Poor sod wishes he had three moneys instead
I am so smart
