Financial nihilism, worrying TikTok trends, and a bleak outlook. Here’s why Gen Zers are cashing in–and checking out.
Oh, look… rich boomers are blaming gen z for the disaster that rich boomers created. Ho hum.
Good! I am a mid-life Gen Xer and it’s not the fault of Gen Z that the world is fucked up beyond all recognition. The Boomer and older Gen Xers fucked it up for everybody.
Generation had a golden opportunity when their bargaining power was high in postwar economy, which they took advantage of for themselves and then locked away for future generations, basically winding the clock back to industrial revolution levels of power disbalance for the common worker.
“Distraction by way of living in the moment and enjoying life has become a popular coping mechanism for those looking to avoid the ills of late-stage capitalism.”
Fuck off
Is this the new “Millenialls killed!!” [something]?
I’m with them, man. If I can’t find a job that will pay me enough to allow me to get my own place (and I’m looking at the cheapest places available), I won’t work. What’s the point? Why would I bust my ass for some rich prick while being homeless? So I can suffer twice as much?
Live out of your car for a few months while working and pay yourself the "rent’ then used the saved up money to Buy a used van/box truck and convert it out. You become your own landlord and get to have a solo apartment on wheels
