It’s a big country and the world needs ditch diggers too. Can’t afford to live on $17/hr in Cali, move.
I wasn’t wagging a finger at you, just your comment. Entitlement flys high with your generation. A living wage and health (sick) care are not human rights. Neither are cars and affordable housing (that’s what roommates are for).
I’m considered the first year of millennials although I don’t identify at all with them. I’ve been through 9/11 while in college (talk about a bad economy). Graduated grad school right at the 2008 collapse (lost tens of thousands in lost wages starting a career then).
Life is not at all hard these days. Many people should not be in college. Especially when we’re so short of tradesman that easily make $50/hr. But these frail kids instead go to art school at 25k a year and become communists when they can’t find a job…
Looking for someone to blame for the bubbles? Look no further then Uncle Sam. However all this loose monetary policy is why this generation is able to make 100k+ on only fans instead of actually working at a strip club. Or selling their nfts for thousands. There’s opportunity everywhere. Just remember to save half for the tax man in this gig economy. Bc biden is hiring a gestapo of irs workers to squeeze every last nickel out.
