Maybe I'm just getting old but I feel like I've been reading these exact same headlines for 2 decades
- paxys 4y agoBecause things have been trending in this direction for the last 2 decades. Costs of housing, education, childcare, fuel, healthcare have vastly surpassed wage growth, and younger millennials and now Gen Z are facing the full brunt of it.
- bilbo0s 4y agoCan confirm. Then entire reason Generation X was called Generation X, was because it was the first generation for which living standards for the majority of them would be lower than the standards of their parents. It was the crossing point. They even embraced a kind of culture of resignation to their fates. The music, clothes and movies of the time even reflected it. So this has been going on for a long time. They found a way though. Millions of out of work college students and, voila, web browsers and dot coms were born. Who's to say GenZ and the Millennials can't pull something out of their butts like Gen X did?
