People shouldn’t have to move to the sticks and eat ramen noodles in order to live a decent life with kids and a place to call their own.
My parents didn’t even have to do that with 3 kids in under 5 years and my mom staying home to raise us.
quote:The big issue here is that, despite all of the evidence showing that millennials and younger generations are getting fricked, the constant mindset of the older generations telling them to “suck it up” and “quit whining” is pushing those generations further and further into the political ideologies of socialism and communism and the older generations are getting to get fricked hard once the political power of the younger ones grows.
I don’t know how much individual young people are to blame for their own problems, because that differs for everyone, but we can’t pretend it’s ALL their fault. That’s just self-serving ignorance.
Everyone loses, but the younger generations are already so nihilistic and believe they have nothing, therefore they believe they have nothing else to lose.
Rather than constantly telling them to suck it up, we should be acknowledging it and looking to correct the governmental forces which have created the mess.
Nah…it’s easier to tell them to suck it up while it all simply gets worse.

Yea, they can all get fricked with that shite. I didn't get a mother fricking thing given to me.

+1 to your whole list.
But not only that. The older generation should be intentionally and voluntarily spreading their wealth to help individual young people and families of their acquaintance and in their communities.
Or they can continue to live an upper upper middle class life with vacations every six months and new cars and constant Amazon spending and yadda yadda because they earned it (never mind that it was under different conditions), and then can bitch and moan until they die about how all the younger people are ungrateful, while the government goes more and more socialist leading to them INVOLUNTARILY spreading their wealth, except now they don’t get to help their own kids or acquaintances but instead are funding endless wars and other bullshite that impoverishes everyone except politicians and their owners.
Boomers want to sit on their piles of cash and wipe their hands of responsibility. Apres moi, Le deluge! is basically their generational mantra.
