I don’t understand the point of these posts - at this point we all understand that the economy has changed in the last 60+ years and even changed dramatically in 2000, 2008, and 2019 in rapid succession.
I’ve seen a lot of danger in belaboring these sorts of point, often sowing the seeds of hopelessness, generational dissent (which ultimately isn’t productive), and it never seems to come with a meaningful call to action or what better advice would be.
Which is concerning given the rising rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide attempts in younger generations vs previous.
Yeah that's all great until a legit 3/4 of the boomers you talk to think there's something inherently wrong with you for working multiple jobs yet not owning property yet, or why you can't or won't start a family in an economic vacuum etc.
It's almost like mathematically and statistically be the case given the size of said demographic. No wonder you're fine w getting economically shafted bro math is hard.
they are out of touch. everyone gets that way as their brains and bodies decline.
Boomers will be long dead before most will realize that boomers were never their problem. Hope your brain still works good so you can actually do something other than blame others
