“The tearful employee appears to have imbibed the notion of “my truth”, a popular phrase intended to rationalise the speaker’s beliefs and shield them from criticism based on facts.”
Sound like the hard-core Zeepers.
Fair question. Maybe we’re too rich.
Lifestyles of the rich are too out there.
Young people are overindulged in every way
The American dream is out of reach. I am surprised any Gen Zer even tries to make it at all. It is all uphill for them. Low wages crushed by inflation, housing thru the roof and legal immigrants (H-1B) taking the good jobs every day.
None of these articles point out that “family” is not what used to be the first and only husband, and the real father, as head of the family and home.
How do those families do in all the various measures, and also we need to start seeing the measure of effect of mother only families, which is very common today and seems to produce killers and angry, racist, and violent children who largely fill our prisons and are uneducable.
Well, thank goodness we don't allow *that* to happen!
Yeah, like the state of New Hampster.
What he describes may be the current culture of the West, but it is not Western culture. Get back to real Western culture and notice the difference.
I made a statement on this forum 20 or so years ago that affluence would be our downfall. Very few agreed.
they should be glad for their current “rough life”. just a few hundred years ago virtually everything in life was uphill. for many there WERE no wage. at all. starvation was the real threat and if you didn’t know how to forage or grow your own, starvation was a real possibility. housing? if you couldn’t build your own house or live with others who did, you were homeless. and then there were those who took everything you had away because you couldn’t or wouldn’t fight back. back then it was outlaws and today it’s government. the “American dream” came out of survivalism. seems we are back to it again. good luck folks. you are going to need it.
“Dressing up like My Little Pony”
At this very moment I am at a cabin in Maine with a group of my fellow Bronies hanging out and having nerd fun. Among them are a tax accountant, a cranberry farmer and super genius researcher/entrepreneur.
Never happened. Especially in a large North American country. /s
My step DIL loves the term your mythology.
But they still demand their adulting stickers.
Of course, the “whole generation” is not being condemned, but an alarming trend is being noted.
More snarky Rothschilds corporate, anonymous writing that concludes exactly the opposite of all evidence cited.
“Hard times make strong men...”
The Fourth Turning.
Or, on the family level:
“Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations.”
You are right. Look at almost any "problem" society faces and you will find it to be a first world problem. Massive obesity is an example.
No mention of home life. Many of these young people grew up without what was once taken for granted as being a normal childhood.
How many of them come from an intact family? How many of them were packed off to daycare, where strangers housed them? How many of them were raised properly by their own mothers at home? How many have had the benefit of a father’s guidance and discipline?
Proper childcare is important work and not something that should be farmed out to strangers. It requires parents to teach their children proper behavior, manners, how to cope, etc.
There are entire industries that would shrink to near zero if they couldn't produce and market to adult children but instead had to face a market of "sane, sober, moral, and prudent" people.
