They are right to be angry. They are right to be absolutely furious. GenX may be the first generation in US history to be worse off than its parents, but the Zoomers are considerably worse off and they are still aware of the echoes of peak US prosperity due to a) clueless Boomers booming and b) the evidence provided by television, books, and movies.
I will never own a home. My purpose is to provide value to my employer. I will move thousands of miles away from my family because there are no jobs left. I will become a meaningless cog in an uncaring machine. My income will be eaten up by taxes, rent, and car expenses. One-third of my life will be spent sleeping, the other third will be spent working. The last third will be mostly taken up by chores and errands. I will be too exhausted to do anything meaningful with what little precious free time I have left. I will visit my family once or twice a year, watching them slowly fade away from my life until they perish. I am living in the most prosperous time in human history.
We are rapidly approaching revolutionary times. The weak men of the Boomer era are creating the hard men of the Zoomer era.
