re: When "Normal" is no longer normal...

Not anymore, and that’s the problem. Gen Z and younger millennials are working longer, harder hours for less pay at scarcer jobs than previous generations were, and then are chastised as “weak” or “lazy” when they complain about it.
It shouldn’t be “mental illness” when someone points out that something is very very wrong in the world right now and young men seem to be struggling almost universally. From nation to nation, I see a growing cohort of unemployed/underemployed young men with no dating prospects who see no future for themselves and are rapidly losing any faith or trust in any of the institutions of civilization. This is concerning because these are the groups who tend to fight wars and engage in bloody revolutions when they finally find something to believe in.
I believe our society is being destroyed on purpose to create fertile soil for Revolution, and not the good kind, but the chaotic tyrannical Reign of Terror style revolution.

When did all these jobs exist with great salaries and no pressure? I graduated in the late 80s, and if you wanted the golden ticket you had to do the grind. Law, medicine, engineering, accounting; it's always been required for a successful career. You can make good money at other jobs, like welding, and you work your hours and you leave work at work, but you're not going to advance much in pay unless you take on additional responsibilities, which translates to pressure which translates to hours.

When they insinuate that they're the first generation this has happened to they should be chastised as weak and lazy.
