I see this.
Take a typical young adult first starting out.
Wages have been very stagnant, and housing inflation has been high.
At what wage/salary can a young person support themselves with safe housing, a means of transportation, and food?
Add in student loans (often more than housing costs), and then what?
This site is older. Most here are closer to retirement than starting out. The reason this is happening is stuff is way out of wack.
Now, the other issue is “Where is all the housing going?” Well, a lot of houses are bought up by financial institutions. Some are then provided to lower income people, some are used by family members of those institutions, some just sit there. Normally a landlord would want to rent them out, but with big institutions owning them they view it differently.
We have a lot of anger among young adults who are priced out of having a middle class life and see no way of ever being able to achieve it. We ignore it at our peril.

I agree about people being globally angry but the people running things could care less. Until the normals are willing to invest in organizing a civil disobedience movement we will just be screwed ove rand over again. I don’r see any kind of organizing coming so it will be interesting to see if there ever is any pushback even when ‘kill whitey’ becomes a real movement.
You make excellent points.

Yep. I’m very aware that I will be alone in my Golden Years. Today’s ‘Worker Bees’ probably won’t be willing or able to help me out much, then.
Our aging population will be suffering in the future and a lot of us here will be on those Front Lines. Ugh!
