C'mon man.

shite, some of the people born in the early 40's didn't even have electricity. My mom was one of them.

I have no clue where you folks get this idea that people coming of age in the 50's and 60's had it so easy.

Gen X and millenials are dealing with the largest generation that is holding onto jobs to maintain their wealth/sense of purpose.

You act like this is a terrible thing.

It was fairly normal in much of the South. Most of you utes don't realize that you're a generation or two removed from massive poverty, which was the normal.

Your first article has been blown apart so many times I'm not going to even bother with it. And it comes from the UN.

Your second article calls "poverty" what should be called "poor life decisions" and a massive opiod epidemic. And this one comes from a British news organization.

Try again.

That's all that needs to be said.

Yes. In fact, our Federal Reserve has perpetuated our deficit spending. They could essentially clean out congress by continuing their rate hikes which would force them to reign in the spending because of how ridiculous the borrowing costs would be. It's this vicious cycle where the Fed can't normalize rates because of deficit spending (and too large of a burden on the gov't budget on interest payments and higher borrowing cost for new treasuries), and the Gov't wont reign in spending because of the low rate environment. So they both perpetuate each other's problems.

It's why I was such a fan of Powell and then Mnuchin's PPT team reversed the direction of MP in less than a few months.
