These Kids Today


Looking at what Boomers and GenXers have been saying to the youngsters point by point:
  • you'll have to hold multiple jobs
  • you'll never be able to buy a house
  • or a new car
  • there are no paid vacations in your future
  • no healthcare insurance
  • no sick days
  • no paid holidays
  • no overtime pay
  • you'll always be short on groceries
  • you won't have a savings plan
  • you won't have kids even if you want them
  • no retirement cuz Social Security and Medicare are gonna disappear
  • your future holds practically nothing but immiseration and death
And then we sit around and bitch about how nobody wants to work anymore.
