Late stage capitalism indeed.
I don't like the general idea of needing to hit certain "milestones" by a certain point in order to be considered "successful". Live your life at your own pace.
Spoiler: They aren't affordable. They're taking all the wealth and hoarding it.
being conditioned to leave the house at 18 isnt a milestone(seems very heavily stereotyped in the us), as is expecting to be finding a job right after degree too isnt a really a milestone(its a very US thing apparently), see alot of these stories just from a search alone. also some millineals are like this too unable to leave home due to HCOL, especially if you wernt in Tech/ or high paying health field.
Obviously, we should outlaw abortion, replace jobs with AI, encourage people to have more kids, spend more on wars and scams, and destroy the planet.
Let's have more kids while we encorage the end times for our rapture!
Millennial here couldn’t buy a house until my 40s and someone had to die to make that possible. We need a revolution
I love how they greens it like a personal failure when someone isn't able to hit the "life milestone" of being able to afford something that gets more expensive relative to median income every year. It's like expecting kids born today to speak by 4 months old just because some random out-of-touch person thought it would help the economy.
You're all millennials now
"being able to afford retirement eventually" and other fantasy tales as told by 20th century folk to a 21st century audience
Same they they said about Millennials, but this is not a problem that the owner class wants to fix.
That's Part of the owner class solution.
Poor people ought not to multiply and have a good Life, since they are about to be exterminated, by wars and finally through climate Change.
The rich plan to genocide us.
Same as always, don't have kids you can't afford.
Younger millennial and tool until my late 20s to buy a house with my partner. I would want to be comfortable knowing I can support them as an adult as well if necessary before having them.
Largest concern by far is the mortgage, nothing else even close to compared to that as an expense. Without a mortgage we could work 3 days a month each and life would be easy.
I was unemployed for a long time after leaving school before I could find something. I don't know how to get away from that fear of what if I lose my job and can't find another one after a few years and my savings run out?
So you say with dont have kids you cant afford, poor people shouldnt have kids?
Do you want a good life for them or not?
And its probably more about stability than an absolute rich/poor number. I see plenty of people throwing money away and then complain about never having any money.
Some monthly expenses I see - £250 on multiple food deliveries a week. £400 to constantly have a new car when the car they drove 3 cars ago is still working fine, while only commuting 2km to work. £80 on a phone.
Stop doing that for 18 months and you have a pretty good house deposit in most of the country.
Finally...why are so many people afraid to outright say it? Why sugar coat it? ALL our suffering is engineered!
i think genz arnt joining in large numbers for the military, but millineals and they get consequences of it more.
you will call anything even remotely harmful to any group genocide
You will ignore any harm done to ajy group just so Things continue to seem okay?
extermination based on anything other than race/genetics is not genocide. Making their lives miserable is not genocide. driving up suicide rates in their demographics is not genocide.
These are all generally bad things but not genocide.
then why do they keep complaining we arent having enough babies and gutting anything even tangentially related to birth control? they arent planning to genocide us they just want more dependent and disposable slaves for the profit mills.
on of my school at had a faculty said the state uni Enrollment crisis was "birth rates", no its the lack of jobs for many degrees, discouraging future students to go the schools, also the schools lack career development options.
Because birthing is a very dangerous act and endangers the mother mortally. If you wanted to genocide someone you'd start with the children and women, with a Lack of women the men will follow suit, because of lethal competition and the aforementioned wars.
The lack of birth control is exactly exacerbating that.
With a lack of birth control it is not the amount of workers that rise, bit the amount of dead women and children during the birth process.
We are beyond the profit Phase of capitalism, they fell into AI psychosis and think they dont need us anymor, since soon AI can replace our necessity.
Birth rates fell significantly in the late 1800s, before modern birth control was an option.
And one key factor was that kids became a financial liability.
That did not change in 200 years.
You would think if the owning class was interested in many workers that this problem wouldve been Adresse by now.
But birth rates continue to fall, while child mortally rises.
Capitalists cannot exist without workers. They in fact need larger populations to expand valorization of capital, and to have a reserve army of labor by which they can threaten the employed workers with replacement.
why do we need "experts" to tell us this, have these people not spoken to anyone in gen Z for even 5 minutes?
Because people (especially 20th century people) have been trained to ignore the evidence of their eyes and ears and trust only the word of the party.
Maybe this is anecdotal, but all the 20th century people in my life completely disregard what anyone younger has to say, preferring to believe that we're all entitled, whiny, complaining kids instead of realizing that we're adults in our 30/40s with genuine economic grievances. But they will blindly believe absolutely anything if it comes from personally preferred news media, even if its complete nonsense.
Cut them off, no exceptions. You cannot allow them to compromise you.
God I thought this was just me. Any time I point out any issue some boomer tells me to quit whining. Bad enough to be treated like a kid let alone when I'm pushing 40. It's really getting annoying.
