I'm so fucking tired reading articles about boomers this, millenials that, zoomies this.

What you're seeing is the result of decades of Reaganomics coming home to roost.

Look up Hunter' Thompson's book about the "Hell's Angels." There's a chapter on the economics of being a biker/hippie/artist circa 1970.

A biker could work six months as a Union stevedore and earn enough to live on the road for two years, and a part time waitress could support herself and a musician boyfriend.
