If they are, it’s their own fault. They’ve been given too much for too long. Now they act like a little hard work and dedication is a death sentence.
That’s why everyone wants to be an “influencer” now. They refuse to put their phones down and actually produce something of value. If they’re not making a million dollars a minute for doing next to nothing, they’re “oppressed”.

Absolutely, and I am 62. I could see this coming 40+ years ago which is one reason why I chose not to have children.

In the last 5 years alone, my grocery budget went up from $80 a week to $120 a week as a single-income, single-person household. I don’t make a ton of money, and it’s not as easy to get the things I need.

Yes, wealth inequality and a horrible job market has reached the breaking point. But half the population keeps voting to be submissive to the 1%.

yes but young people are doing themselves a disservice by whining and being helpless and joining stupid protests for climate change and Palestine

[exitseven]

No, they just have greater expectations than I did and they whine.

Yes, prices were high under Biden and Trump has actually managed to make them go even higher somehow
