Varsha, a 22-year-old arts and law student, says that the older generations think gen Z is weak, but the realities of the cost of living crisis, climate crisis, global unrest and social media make her 20s a game of survival.

eyup but the caveat is its getting more fucked as we go along so being born on the early side is better than not. even the first half of the boomers compared to second half is a big difference. also the older you are the more you got a glimpse of good times. The only thing better from when I was a kid is basically computers/internet which mostly is about having nicer media and playtime. Foods were plenty convenient with little to no plastic.

yup, not sure who I'm sorrier for - my generation, who got a taste and remember the good times, millenials, who saw the good times and missed out, or Z who can't even conceive them

yeah I worry that Z and beyond won't even realize what is possible.
