I will never forgive the Baby Boomers for gleefully throwing every successive generation off a cliff while Boomers failed upwards through life.

Seeing alot of (for good reason) depressed folks here. I think we need to build community, in real life or online if there's no other way.

Wouldn't it be funny if that broken spirit is by intention because the possibilities of the internet are big enough that a motivated youth could change everything?
I love your perspective.

Came across my feed yesterday. He's in the UK but it applies to almost every country.
I'm 45 and since I was a kid I heard my father telling me his gen was the last getting richer than the one before.
We (westerns), did reach the peak and now every gen will be poorer year after year.
That's why rich people is hoarding wealth like never before. That's why Elmo wants to establish fascism, abolish worker rights and wants the people doing more childs. It doesn't matter for him if we get even poorer, he just wants to make his wealth future proof.
His wealth already is future proof, this is something else. This is about power.
Sure, I took Elmo as a reference, bit I should have said the 1%, or the establishment or whatever.
The 1% needs a basement to stay on. The wider it get, the more stable it will be. Since the piramid it's not getting taller anymore, they're trying to make it wider at the bottom.
That's still about power not wealth.
I don't understand why you care so much, for me money and power get along 🤷

No shit, and how does quantifying our misery help? Like, “Congratulations, ‘you people’ are more miserable than others. See? I made a chart.”
Fuck off.
"Hey dude, you feel miserable? Well you're not alone, and maybe we can start to think about why we all feel miserable".
You're just seeing a perfectly reasonable study in the worst light possible, because you and most of us have been made to feel like shit about our lives.

Those of us in our mid-50s aren't exactly happy either right now.
You still at least had the option to buy a house. But yeah I get it.
Slightly related perhaps, at least if you're an HBS grad.

From Harper's Index 4/2025
Harvard business bros is how we got into this mess in the first place. Quarterly targets are a scourge on humanity.
Jack fucking Welch is why we have this mess, the rest are just imitators.
Maybe having money hungry dads who were in their 20s in the 80s when Regan was creaming his pleats over deregulating banks and Wall Street who then went on to send their wet socks to business schools was a scam all along.
