🚨 Do you understand what this actually means..
Gen Z and millennials aren't burnt out because they're weak.. they did the math..
your dad bought a house at 24 on one salary.. a 40-hour week and a pension waiting at the end..
here's what changed..
in 1970 the median home cost 2x the average annual salary.. today it costs 6x.. and that's before the interest rate..
> Boomers graduated with little to no debt into an economy with employer pensions, cheap housing, and a job market that rewarded loyalty..
> Gen Z graduates with $30,000 in student debt into an economy that replaced pensions with 401ks where YOU bear all the risk.. replaced job security with "freelance opportunities".. and replaced affordable housing with a market that requires two incomes just to rent..
the work ethic didn't change.. the math changed..
> Boomers didn't build that economy.. they inherited it.. built by the Greatest Generation after the war, funded by government programs, subsidized housing, public universities, and infrastructure they didn't pay for..
> they rode the boom, extracted everything, gutted the pensions, made the houses unaffordable, defunded the universities..
and then told the next generation to work harder..
You know Alex Pereira is super popular because people are up in arms over Ciryl Gane fouling him (in a fight he was losing) when 8 months ago the conversation was about how Tom Aspinall was a quitter for getting stabbed in the eyes.
The 9-to-5 system should be completely abolished. Workdays should be 10-3 or 9-2. There’s no reason people should spend most of their lives at work. Let people go home and have time for their families, partners, friends, and rest. This is why so many people hate their jobs.
Listen, you need to fight the urge to become so racist you can’t treat people like individuals capable of the same range of human emotions and capacity for goodness we all have, but you should also be racist enough to see this group of kids and keep driving.
An entire generation under the age of 30 is coming to realization that having a family and home will never be within the grasp of reality for them
Society is not ready for the consequences of this. A generation with no stake in the system would rather watch it burn
