Miss me with the generational infighting. Its not your parents refusing to pay you appropriately, it’s capitalists
I’m an engineer with a graduate degree working in the aerospace industry doing a job only a few thousand people in the world can do, and nothing in aerospace can be done without someone doing my job. I’ve lived frugally, saved as much as I can, I’m healthy without any major medical expenses. I feel that I’m a functioning, productive member of society. Yet I have little hope of being able to afford a home where I live. I can barely afford to move to a less shitty apartment. My biggest cost outside of the bare necessities over the past few years has been therapy, and I’m constantly worrying about whether I can really afford it. If I’m in such a good position and barely treading water economically, how the fuck is anyone supposed to live? We’re barreling toward a cliff and the rich just keep pushing on the gas.
I suspect they only want the hyperproductive/ profitable citizens to live. They don’t really care that it doesn’t work economically.
I’d bet you’re unwilling to move where your income/cost ratio would be beneficial, because you’ve made your “I’m part of the elite thousand in the world who knows what kind of quarter turn fastener to use” a core part of your identity.
Because we have no dependents or family ties, and we have enough capital to just move on a whim to gentrify communites we do not beling to.
🖕
More like I can’t really move because the only places I can even work are just like the place I am, or worse, and there’s only like 5 cities with jobs in my field anyway, unless I wanted to sell my soul working for a defense contractor contributing to killing innocent civilians and children. I wish I had a job with more mobility. I’m still just a cog in a giant machine that doesn’t give a fuck about me, the same as everyone else.
Also I’m not a mechanical engineer so I couldn’t tell you which fastener to use, so on both counts you’d lose that bet.
You’re not getting it. You’re still unwilling to give up that core identity that you’re some special wizard with arcane knowledge that you’re forced to use.
It’s making you miserable, and us bored of hearing about it.
Suck a dick troll cunt
Considering The richest idiots ripping people off and controlling politics are currently millennials and genx. The ones supporting them with influencing podcasts are spanning from genx to genz.
First billionaire on the planet was a genx. Who is also estimated to be the first trillionaire.
boomers in GOP are just quickly turning into puddle brain dementia and easily being controlled by these assholes and people keep voting them into the seat to be puppetted.
For anyone else wondering, the world’s first USD billionaire was John D. Rockefeller in 1916. He was decidedly not Gen X.
You’re missing the forest for the trees.
Yes, the first billionaire and ostensibly trillionaire is Gen X and the politicians are starting to move into the X/M range… and the M/Z are supporting it because they’re sucking up the marketing like a hoover with a plan…
But Boomers still hold the majority of the wealth and make up a huge portion of the population. The billionaire class are going to grab as much of that as possible. Their imminent deaths will not create a massive redistribution of wealth. It will create a fucking feeding frenzy for the predator class.
We can point fingers at this generation or that, but not much separates me from a Millenial in age - it’s not like a switch was flipped and this made-up term changes who I am. That’s the sociological equivalent to astrology.
