Comment on What the hell is this shit? Instead of pushing for the return to traditional pensions, capitalism is celebrating the idea that Millennials & Gen Z may simply never be able to stop working.

  Most people in the Us are better off than the 50's-90's. They may feel worse off, but that is not an objective measure.

      Unlikely. Getting high is more often associated with realizing that shit is fucked.

      If you were white, sure. Less likely otherwise.

        Okay, fair point that racial equity and access to opportunity has increased significantly in most of the country. Gender equality has come a long way as well, though it’s also a “ha ha you have to work now too and your family is still worse off than it was, good luck with paying for day care”

        Which was a huge bullshit injustice which need correcting and hurt a lot of people.

        But now we’re at the point where skin color doesn’t matter. Only bank balances matter. And you probably don’t have a high enough one to afford a house.
