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.
It's just more of the division propaganda in the US. Old versus young, republican versus democrat, hatred towards minorities, class wars... anything to keep you all pointing fingers at each other white the ruling class watches you fight over scraps.
It's the same propaganda mechanism - blame "the others" just like America's problems are ridiculously blamed on illegal aliens and transgenders. Rage baiting. Anything to sow division in America. It's called "manufactured polarization" and it is aimed at everything American. Noted in the news that all sorts of divisive posts dropped significantly when the Russian data centers were taken out by Ukrainian drones.
Edit: But please, by all means, vote the boomers out of office.
