Hey excuse me – Gen X here – we exist and work hard
Lol humanity have always been misled and the pretend freedom of voting for the less worse will never change the world for the majority rather it keeps the few at the top while they hoard all the wealth and power for doing nothing but serving themsleves.

I grew up a poor millennial. Old poor if you will. Problem with gen Z is they are new poor. They don’t know how to be poor. We’d prioritize keeping the gas bill paid so we could boil rain water.
While commuting and a 9-5 grind was/is awful, I feel like a lot of workers in past generations accepted it because you were fairly* compensated for it. With minimal effort (saving reasonably) you could expect to one day afford a home, start a family, invest in leisure and passions in your free time; have an acceptable work-life balance essentially. It was a “work hard, play hard” model, vs. today where it’s just “work hard, live hard” marching towards what feels like “work hard, die hard”.
