It is disturbing, but I think many FReepers have no idea how grim the outlook is for young people today (especially whites, who are constantly portrayed as entitled devils by the growing non-white population). While people across the spectrum are suffering, they see many older people in jobs from the “before-times” offering pay and benefits (which aren’t so great, and are constantly being cut) that will never be available to them. I’ve seen a couple of young people in my area working multiple part-time jobs because FT isn’t offered, and I know young people that can’t get offers because the unskilled work they allegedly disdain has been set aside exclusively for braceros - Americans need not apply.
It is easy for us to (rightly) say socialism doesn’t work, but nothing else is working for young people so they’ll try anything new.
Well, there’s 50/50 chance we might find out how good/bad it is in 9 months.
