Without listing 100 can you list 10 just to get a general idea? I'm not sure what generation we're talking about. I'm in my late 30s and I don't have the same doomsday outlook on life.

Im over 30, but.. 1. Job market is really difficult, somehow on both sides 2. The f*deral government is getting more brazen with it's gaslighting on the following topics 2a. Inflation 2b. The job market 2c. Global conflicts 3. Products are sinking in value and increasing in cost 4. Everything is a scam, you have to be vigilant when buying groceries now. 5. EVERYTHING IS A SCAM. Even something as silly as someone doing yarn stop motion animation to replicate the netflix intro was a lie. 6. The internet is becoming a flood of garbage even wothout AI, but its's getting even worse. 7. We're somehow living through a "post truth" transition. Was that something anyone even remotely considered 20 years ago? 8. Businesses are trying to get you addicted to something, because selling something useful isn't enough anymore. 9. Starting a business is getting harder because you have to compete with liars and scammers competing with literal truckloads of money behind them. 10. The atrocities that are being committed on your behalf so all this can keep going. e.g. slave labor for lithium batteries. 11. The lack of control over any of the above 12. Plastic bits everywhere 12a. you cant use plastic without being a monster 12b. You cant not use plastic 13. Corn being used to fatten everyone up, while also being subsidised so it also steals money from you 14. Copywright laws designed to make everything harder, including benign things like buying a new tv and having to update other equipment to comply woth hdcp 15. Your job is most likely not even slightly working to make people happier (see also everything is a scam) 16. Having children is no longer an asset its a liability 16a. This is going to wreck our retirement 17. Looming financial collapse (see also f*deral gaslighting) 18. Housing is expensive because people are playing games with the market. 18a. Said people are going to get bailed out with your money for losing said game 19. Disappearing to the woods wont help with any of this and you will also be isolating your kids while doing it 20. Old cars are getting older and new cars are getting more and more disposable. I havent even put on my tin foil hat yet. If people reply to this comment I'm sure we can get to 100.

Probably (younger) Millennial or Gen Z based on the latest data https://gizmodo.com/unhappy-gen-z-millennials-us-drop-happiness-ranking-1851350932 https://gizmodo.com/unhappy-gen-z-millennials-us-drop-happin... For reasons, there was some discussion about it here[0]. I'd say personally the Death of God followed by humans killing the biosphere are my top 2, but there's plenty to choose from.
