How did such an uneducated, mentally ill, poverty-stricken guy like Don become so successful and rich? Was that really possible in America? Why isn't it anymore? What went wrong?

Wasnt he a used car salesman when roger found him?

Roger saw he was a charlatan, and being a charlatan is very profitable in advertising.

>Was that really possible in America?
yes
>Why isn't it anymore? What went wrong?
the boomers who made it made sure none of us will be able to

He was a genuinely talented ad man but he stole another man’s identity and hustled his way into Sterling Cooper. Tricked Roger into hiring him. Don is a fraud

Do you think this propaganda show is a documentary?

that was earlier, he was selling fur coats when he runs in to Roger

lmao seethe chinkoid

>muh boomers

>the boomers who made it made sure none of us will be able to
How did they do that?

>Good looking
>Understands the power of image and appearance
>Recognizes Opportunity
>Work Ethic
These traits can make you rich today just the same

He was still fairly smart. He was able to keep up with those jet setters in season 2 and managed to keep his secret hidden from everyone besides his wives and Pete.
He was just a clean-cut man with a drive who drugged Roger into hiring him.

social security integration and immigants

boomers got some pretty sweet loans back when they were buying their homes, real estate and college were dirt cheap for them even when accounting for inflation, you could unironically work minimum wage for the summer and save up enough for your tuition, now everyone in their 20s is a debt slave and living paycheck to paycheck.
owning a home is the most important step towards prosperity, none of us today will own one. unless you got lucky in some meme crypto scheme or come from a wealthy background.

Goddamn this is wrong in so many ways. First of all, home loans back then were literally 12-15% interest. Most of them didn’t even go to college, which is why they were so adamant their children went. Inflation was double digits throughout the 70s. Not to mention they had virtually none of the creature comforts we take for granted today.

Charisma combined with good looks can literally get away with anything.

And they whine about it.
Every time I visit my boomer mom and complain about clown world I get "ooooh you don't know how hard things were back in then"
Meanwhile dad built a farm in the country himself and supported a family of five on a single income, he had a grade 10 education and started out selling lightbulbs door to door on his first job. She dropped out in grade 9 and never had to work a day in her life until she decided to in her forties because Dad cut her out of the bank accounts and gave her an allowance to keep her from spending him into the poor house.

This. Go look at a fucking house built in the 40s, 100 sqf bedrooms, one car carport, only one tiny bathroom, plaster walls, tiny kitchens, houses were infinitely cheaper to build back then.

college is for suckers, always was, self education is 100x more important

Home loans were like 2% last year. First-time buyers only need like 3% down. They’re literally giving you money. If you can’t figure out how to buy a house in this era you are a complete and utter failure.

imagine falling for a deal too good to be true and getting bogged

fucking retards buying tops

Redpill me on fishnets

Especially FHA loans, they practically pay you to buy a house. The only downside is it’s not in some sprawling shithole crime infested city, which win-win.

doesn't really matter when the house costs 400k and the down payement is like 120k, what were prices like for boomers in comparison?

The average home price in most major cities here is 2 million.

>400k
those are flyover states prices now, trying to live in a remotely relevant city's outskirts will cost you no less than a million

No it isn’t you absolute retard and regardless, the point is that you buy a starter home first, then build equity and apply that to a nicer house down the road. Millennitards have zero ability to think 2 steps ahead so of course they don’t understand these very simple things.

cityfags showing us just how out of touch they really are

>remotely relevant city
Imagine wanting to live in a city filled with blacks and liberals, ew

My aunt's house cost them 16000 dollars in the 1970s. At that time a new car was about 2000 dollars.

Average home price in Chicago is $312k. Get your head out of your ass.

why buy a home when I can live in a shed

you fucking boomers are so out of touch thinking I'll ever spend that much to survive

Yes it is you absolute retard. This is Canada. You have no conception how out of control the real estate is here.
70% of millennials and down don't believe they will ever own a home.

Lol, you know the reason for that right? Chicago is Detroit 2.0

Canada is fucked because of chink money. That’s your own damn fault.

It ain't my fault, My vote doesn't count. No one's vote counts in Canada unless you live in Ontario or Quebec.

Wrote your manifesto yet crazy?

...

>living in Chiraq
A fate worse than death. You couldn't pay me $312k to live in that shithole.

Average home price in Toronto is 900k US. Stop exaggerating. So many damn excuses with you faggots.

Good, millennials and zoomers are the fucking worst, they deserve to live in pods.

Damn. Harry Crane Fucks.

Pick another city then. I can do this all night.

I've got news for burgers too.
Your real estate is being inflated too by Blackrock and Vanguard. You'll all be in the exact same boat as Canada soon.
You're just at the start of it, Here we're in the endgame as a frontrunner in the globohomo experiment.

Many Korean/WWII vets did. They took life and opportunities by the balls and just went with it. Unlike what I did, which is die miserable, penniless and hugging my cats. based Grandpas

Oh N-

I don't have any brothers, or sisters, tactical advantage

You don’t have a clue my dude
Fighting Nazis/Gooks before 1960 was a great payoff

This is what kills me. Life is empirically better by literally every metric today. It’s not even close yet they can’t stop bitching about how bad their lives are. You think life was better in 1972? Are you fucking kidding you wouldn’t last a week.

water is at the road and falls out of the sky periodically, I just need a tarp and a plastic 55 gallon drum, which is about 30 bucks at most

imagine not fertilizing the land

I was a literal NEET playing WoW 16 hours a day until age 22 with $500 in my savings, enlisted in the military, went monkmode and saved up for 6 years and I own a 700k home now, user. Is it harder for us nowadays? Yes, but it's not impossible.
