DazharionLess old money and more historical money
resipsaloquiturAren’t a third of all people alive descendants of Genghis Kahn?
RamenJunkieIts not a third, its fifty percent.
I’m Genghis Khan
MinnesotaGoddamThat website seems to be very insistent that any evidence that they don’t control is fraudulent
honestly speaking did not put much effort into this research. I was intrigued and checked a couple of websites which all seemed to claim they are long dead and gone and posted one of them here.
same here. that was what my skim said. I just got a “hey, our history book says there’s none left YOUR DNA IS LYING SHUT UP” vibe from it
“Are there any Medici left? No, there are no descendants of the Medici left today. The family ended with the death of Anna Maria Luisa.
Of course there are thousands of people with some DNA or “blood” in common with the Medici, but that means nothing. If someone is claiming to be a descendant of the Medici, is a scammer or has been scammed”
Wut
Of course there are thousands of people with some DNA or “blood” in common with the Medici
I’m assuming this means they have common ancestors with the famous Medici, but it goes back even more generations so they’re not descendants of those people
I mean technically we all are related if you go far back enough. Probably you and I are related if you go back 10, maybe 20 generations, but you’re not a descendant of my grandparents (I assume - would be weird to find out otherwise)
The kids of the youngest gen x/oldest millennials are super lucky though, I have two coworkers in that category and they’re paying for cars, rent, living expenses, and are taking on the school debt for their adult kids (who have graduated college and are currently working).
I think this might be necessary now to give your kids a good chance, but there’s no way my parents could have bought a car for me and each of my siblings, let alone pay for college and rent through our twenties. Expectations for what the parents are responsible for has shifted drastically.
railcarNo. They can. There is clear stats on this. 53% of first time home buyers in the millennial generation, had parental assistance in buying their first home. If your parents did help you buy your first house, you’re in the minority of millennials.
And in my personal experience that totally tracks. Most people I know my own age… had parental help buying homes. But they do not talk about it at all, because they know it’s shameful. They still look down on people who don’t own homes though!
I’ve taught in poorer locations in the Midwest. Ton of college students in those sorts of areas are going to get zero assistance from their families. When you look at need-based metrics for scholarships and the like you will have a ton of people whose familys compute to a negative contribution to their education.
Yes, I know. I was one of those students. Though I’m not from the Midwest.
But here on the East coast, people like us are a minority of the college population. Only 30% of the students at my undergraduate were on financial aid. 70% were paying full price.
Yup. And same. I grew up in mining country.
Most millennials don’t own a home. Home ownership at the same age boomer > Gen x > millennial. Just focusing on the fraction that owns a home ignores the vast majority who don’t. It tracks that the ones who own a home have intergenerational wealth, as that divide widens it’s the only way it’s feasible. But it’s still a small minority of the population
55% of millennials own homes. Stop spouting nonsense. In another 5-10 years that number will go up substantially, as they age into the median homebuyer age of 40. I bought my place at 37.
I Cast FistI’ve always wondered what relation Emilio Garrastazu Medici had with the rest of the Medici family. He’s remembered as the asshole dictator president responsible for the worst years in regards to human rights. His “economic miracle” was incredible… for the rich. Middle and lower classes became even poorer.
