after all, 15 year old girls’ top concern is how the 2008 crisis hit them
- smeej 4y agoWow. This just made me realize today's 15yo girls were born in 2008.
- Apocryphon 4y agoI mean isn’t the seemingly unaffordability of U.S. housing, skyrocketing student debt, race to the bottom, etc. rooted in the inequality that has festered since 2008, which is why you see articles about how young people are burning out early or even starting to avoid college?
- superkuh 4y agoYou forget that those 15 year old girl's lives are dependent on their 40 year old parent's lives which have been drastically impacted in terms of ability to provide a "good" life for their children.
- PartiallyTyped 4y agoBecause of the housing crisis in my country that was a consequence of the 2008 crisis, my single parent household had no income and we barely didn't lose our home. My siblings and I barely had food to eat and water to have a shower. We wore hand-me-downs for years to recover. Those memories have been etched in my brain to the point that it is almost impossible for me to give up habits picked from that time and change my mindset. Even though I am doing relatively okay now w/ an engineer's salary, I can't give up the bad habits formed from then.
