You say “Many [young people] I know work 2 jobs, or an 8 hour work day, then go home to run their home based business, or side gig, sleep 3 or four hours, then do it all over again.”
I know many like that (as we all do). Those are not the ones we are laughing at here.
You wrote “They realize that they will never have the things their parents had..an affordable house, insurance for their car, and medical costs. They can’t afford dental care.”
Yet, our three kids are all gainfully employed, two in their mid 30s have their own homes, all have car, home and auto insurance and good medical and dental care. All of their friends do, too.
We raised our kids with wide circles of friends and almost all of their childhood friends are doing well.
I know hundreds of young people through our children and our friends’ children and I just do not see what you are seeing. This is my observation from the San Francisco Bay Area as well as eastern Washington state and North Idaho.
Can you tell us where you see all this misery?
