Yeah I was going to say… as a millennial it was a bumpy road so far… but I acknowledge that next gens will have it even harder :(

Still "delaying" all those age critical milestones. Can we start "delaying" CEO profits and windfalls for a while?

It's the Seven Year Rule from wrestling: you can reuse plots and stories every seven years, because anyone who'd recognize it has aged out and doesn't watch wrestling anymore.

That's Part of the owner class solution.

Poor people ought not to multiply and have a good Life, since they are about to be exterminated, by wars and finally through climate Change.

The rich plan to genocide us.

Because people (especially 20th century people) have been trained to ignore the evidence of their eyes and ears and trust only the word of the party.

Maybe this is anecdotal, but all the 20th century people in my life completely disregard what anyone younger has to say, preferring to believe that we're all entitled, whiny, complaining kids instead of realizing that we're adults in our 30/40s with genuine economic grievances. But they will blindly believe absolutely anything if it comes from personally preferred news media, even if its complete nonsense.

Gaslighting experts.

And I remember the same framing like we were the first to do it, this shit’s been on the decline since at least Reagan.

Yeah but the real issue is its generally accepted that adults have a decade or 2 of real earning power during which they tend to buy homes and sometimes start families. Once a person ages out of that bracket it becomes real difficult to accomplish those things.

Also worth noting that employers will avoid hiring people over 45 years old because thats the age when health insurance companies feel a person becomes more of a risk than an asset to them.

It's probably more trying to say some people want to (buy a house, have kids) but are forced into delaying because of outside environmental factors, (environment, capitalism).

even if you were/are in Tech you'd be lucky to A. still have a job at this point and B. be paid well for it. I've been in the industry for 20+ years now and the wages just totally stagnated. I went from having more money than I knew what to do with in my 20s to having just enough to ALMOST live comfortably on my own. And I'm kicking myself that I didn't settle down in my 20s, buy a house then, marry the girl I was seeing then, starting a family then. Like I said I had more money than I could imagine and figured "it's going to get better from here" and it didn't. I blew it. wasted it all on devices and pcs i don't have anymore, videogames, booze, drugs, clothes, etc. Just totally blew it.

I see fresh grads today who are damn lucky to even get a job in this field but they're being paid peanuts and living in a shoebox apartment or with like 5+ roommates or still living at home with their folks.
