Why do Americans have shitty hyper-consumerist living standards?

>>39264584
Because I dont wanna shit in the street

>>39264584
Not sure I understand what you mean by that but America is a capitalist nation. The health of people's quality of life depends on the strength of the economy. So human beings were repurposed from being whatever the hell the gods originally intended into being livestock that work the capitalist system.

What's so wrong about that house? Doesn't seem over the top .

I don't know, but I'm really starting to resent it. What's the most chill country on earth?

>>39264890
OP is comparing it to the "houses" in his shitty country.

>>39264910
>What's the most chill country on earth?
Somalia.

Sorry your country is okay with mediocrity bitch

>>39264584
Because the builders and real-estate developers are looking to maximize profit and that typically means they're going to use the shittiest products available to make the shittiest yet most profitable house available.

Most residential houses in the U.S. are pretty decent quality.

>>39264584
Because of capitalism and public status.

I would live in a fucking cuckshed if I had to. Give me a functioning toilet and somewhere to put my PC and I'm good.

Were you trying to be sarcastic ?

>>39265384
This is the true redpill.

Fuck consumerists

>>39265480
>true redpill is communism where people live in sheds and hook up to the internet
Naw man, I'm good.

>>39264890
it's a ticky tacky box

>>39264851
Happiness =/= Quality of Life

>>39265333
This.

I fucking HATE sighting. I hate that no new homes use bricks, stone, or wood anymore.

>>39265465
What's not chill about it? You can do whatever you want without being forced into working or supporting the economy in any way.

>>39265653
Lel, how do you think they build houses without wood?

>>39264584
because americans disregard at best, or treat as competition at worst:
>family
>community
>culture
and spend all their time piling up mounds of shit and call it life

Because if I have a job that's high stress and pays a lot of money, I want nice things

I don't. This is literally my dream house, but the bed room up stairs, with a spiral stair case going up. Maybe on one of the great lakes in a wooded area, but in Michigan. Or maybe near some huge river, but definatley in an area that sees a lot of snow, it has forest. If I win the power ball tonight, I intend on building a compound with a bunch of these for robots to live on. Grow my own crops and shit.
too bad I'll never have this

>>39265896
The people robbing you with assault rifles for one

>>39264584
Because they're americans. That's their culture.

>>39266146
That's what's chill about it. The country doesn't prevent you from robbing people with assault rifles or anything else you feel like doing.

>>39265384
Same. Thankfully you can buy homes outright where I live for 15-40k

>>39265543
stfu, you probably think a "beautiful home" is some 400 year old dilapitated shed in a nondescript european country like belgium

>>39266230
just something that isn't plastic and mass produced would be good

you're right in that that house lacks character and that's the problem with it

>>39266315
Not him but honestly anything built after the 40s lacks character. 20s neighborhoods are by far the most comfy.

>>39265465
Is that post-hurricane or just a random Tuesday?

>>39266388
>20s neighborhoods are by far the most comfy.
No they're not. They're always full of spics and niggers. Sucks that those fucks get the best houses.
