    The fantasy here is of a typical 34 year old being a homeowner. "Younger people today are much less likely to own a house than their parents at their age, according to a new investigation into generational housing trends by the Stanford Center on Longevity." -CNBC, 2018https://twitter.com/atdanwhite/status/1523434622800982017 …

    Jeet Heer added,

    Dan White @atdanwhite
    34-year-old on Twitter : “PAW Patrol is copaganda that reinforces America’s role as the global police force and indoctrinates a new generation of children into our collective military fetishization.” 34-year-old not on Twitter : “We’re redoing our bathroom.”

        Most (~60%) of 35-40 year olds own a home, so it must be pretty close to typical among 34 year olds.

        Home ownership rate something like 62% for 35-44 and 39% for 18-34 (not aware of Census Bureau breaking it down more finely).

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        Homeownership is common in mid-late 30s. Over half of 35-40 year olds are homeowners, so likely similar for 34 year olds. And that common Twitter view of Paw Patrol is unhinged (you can just say it’s a bad show, which it is). So it’s a pretty good take.

        Never seen it, but it probably is propaganda.

        Maybe if I could afford a home, I could get off Twitter 😅
