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.
I think the younger generations are sick and tired of the condescending attitude of the boomers that they’ve had to put up with their entire lives. And even with 1 foot in the grave, they’re still in control of this country and trying to exempt themselves from paying as much taxes as possible, putting an even worse burden on the younger generations.
