Nothing will piss me off faster than people attacking the work ethic of young people in the US. These poor fucking kids are working 60-100 hours a week for the "privilege" of living in a roach-infested studio, likely with roommates, where our parents could afford a house, education, and family on 40 hours a week.
In-fucking-furiating.
This has been going on since Elder Millennials were the young people.
Nothing has changed- same Boomers at the top, punching downward. Millennials are just older now, so Z is in the spotlight.
Elder millennials like me are either stable, or have dead or dying boomers parents who support them. We’re care taking for the second elderly parent with dementia now. One more to go after that and we’ll split the house sale with siblings and maybe have enough for a meager retirement in 25 years.
If Social Security is gone I’m fucked though.
Not exactly the dream they sold us in the 90s, eh?
