I’m not saying all people who struggle are lazy. Quite the opposite.

You should probably take a look at how many hours the average young person had to work a week to pay for their education or to pay rent back then,compared to now… The numbers I can find suggest the average college aged person had to work around 18 hours a week to pay for their own education back in 1970. Today they have to work 61 hours a week.
Saying the younger generation doesn’t have it harder in most western countries is objectively wrong.

I think pretty much everyone agrees with your take here. People are just saying that if kids are struggling and parents can afford it, it’s weird for the parents not to help out financially.
Obviously the circumstances matter and if the kid is struggling because they’re lazy or a drug addict you don’t want to enable that but if they have their own kids and are working full time I would always support my kids financially if they needed that and I was able to.

Obviously parents are entitled to spend their own money but generally if kids are struggling parents want to help.
Your post makes it sound like the current young working generation has the same lived experience as people who are retired. That’s just not the case at all. It’s much harder for the average person to save up money and buy a house now than it was in the past.

How tf can killing a single person with a handgun be classified as terrorism?

Everyone above 14 knows how dangerous smoking is. Doesn’t make it less cool. Tbh it probably makes it more cool to most people.
This campaign is about as stupid as it gets.
It basically points out the only legit positive thing about smoking which is the fact that it looks cool.

Because smoking looks cool…
Very few people thinks smoking is uncool. It’s obviously a health risk but I think that’s part of the reason it’s seen as cool. It’s dangerous.
Just like riding a motorcycle if there wasn’t any increased danger associated with it it wouldn’t be cool.
