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.

That is the purpose of these posts though, they are state sponsored psyop attacks. Slowly chip away at the youth of the western countries.

Posts like this are addicting, I myself live a very comfortable life, but I still cant help being drawn to posts like this all the time.
