The reason Gen Z spends comfortably on small luxuries like high-end coffee is that long-term milestones like buying a home feel entirely out of reach in this economy. So they prioritise immediate quality of life over distant financial milestones.

Save this. Then tell me the one I missed.
If the last two years have taught me anything..
The politics within politics is far more upsetting than the politics itself.
So many sellouts to money, title and power.
Divorce rates are high in this generation for one simple reason. People don't understand what marriage actually is. Social media made everyone believe there's always someone better out there, a richer man, a prettier woman, a more exciting life, but comparison kills loyalty.
People want weddings, not marriages. They'll spend months planning a ceremony and zero time learning how to communicate when things get hard. Nobody knows how to argue anymore.
They yell, they shut down, they run instead of learning how to fight for each other. Money pressure exposes weak foundations. Instead of building together, couples turn on each other, men stop leading, women stop respecting their men, temptation is everywhere. Now everyone uses therapy words to escape accountability. Everything is toxic, everything is trauma. Nothing is ever their fault.
There's no community pressure to stay married anymore. No elders saying work it out. Just friends saying leave. You deserve better. Kids became optional, sacrifice became outdated and vows became suggestions.
Marriage used to mean I'll suffer with you. Now it means I'll stay as long as I'm happy. And that's why divorce is high. Because people don't know how to suffer together.
They only know how to quit when excitement is no longer there.
We are in the trenches!!
You don't hate capitalism, you hate corporatism.
You look at bailouts, subsidies, and firms that get rich through political access instead of honest competition, and you are right to feel disgusted.
Capitalism lives or dies by voluntary exchange, by serving people well enough that they choose you over someone else.
Corporatism works by fusing business with the state so failure gets cushioned, rivals get fenced out, and consumers get trapped.
In one arrangement, profit follows value. In the other, profit follows influence.
NEW - @yuri_fulmer announces a deal with OneBC's @Dallas_Brodie that if he wins @Conservative_BC leadership OneBC will not run candidates in 88 or 93 ridings and Conservatives will not run in 5 ridings to pave path for OneBC. Plus a confidence and supply agreement with Brodie.
How does the Muslim community command so much influence in Canada?
Punjabis are targeted by extortion rings.
Filipinos experienced a mass murder in Vancouver.
Chinese Canadians are targeted by the Chinese government.
Jews are experiencing a surge in antisemitism.
Persians are targeted and murdered by Iranian agents in Canada.
And all CSIS, political leaders, educators and others can talk about is Islamophobia.
If you are scared of AI taking your job read this.
AI boom is often compared to industrial revolutions due to massive structural changes in job market.
People have a misconception of revolutions displacing workers but it's only part of the equation.
Here is the full truth.
1st Industrial Revolution (1800s-1850s): Steam Power:
Agriculture jobs: 70% → 40% (millions displaced)
Manufacturing jobs: 10% → 32% by 1910
Net effect: Total employment grew from 5M → 15M
2nd Industrial Revolution (1900s-1950s): Electricity + Assembly Lines:
Ford alone Created 500K new jobs despite displacing 200K skilled workers
Net effect: Employment grew 30M → 45M
3rd Industrial Revolution (1970s-2020): Computers + Automation:
Manufacturing collapsed: 30% → 9% of jobs
Services exploded: 66% → 84% of employment
Net effect: Employment still grew 45M → 70M
The pattern is obvious. Short term losses, long term gains.
Throughout every revolution:
1. Workers got displaced in dominant sectors
2. More jobs were created in emerging sectors
3. Net employment rose.
In fact the highest employment rates were almost always achieved post industrial revolution: 1872, 1943, and 2018.
Automation destroys job categories, not jobs.
AI might take your job sure, but it will push you to adapt and do something more productive and useful for the society.
