They're discriminated against in education and employment. If they do get hired, their wages are suppressed and their rents inflated by the relentless flood of foreigners. Shit is getting worse, and it's ok to say that.

@GlomarResponder Because it depends on what. In terms of homeownership 2015 and 2020 were the best years in the past 50 years. The Internet has also made many things infinitely easier. In terms of the social fabric, yes, they're screwed.

@DiggingInTheDi1 So a zoomer who was in high school and missed the housing inflation now has to pay the jacked up prices without the benefit of near-zero interest. They are also financially fucked.

@GlomarResponder @_Rian_Stone I say it all the time - y’all have it way harder than we (Gen X) did I sincerely feel bad for anyone who didn’t live thru the 80s

@opiumtales2 @_Rian_Stone I'm an Xer, doing well, but I couldn't fail upwards like my parents.

@GlomarResponder Do Xers think this?

@Jay52847875Jay I'm an Xer, and it seems 50/50

@GlomarResponder Because the nature of your struggles are very different from each other, so you both think you've got it worse. But the grass is always greener on the other side.

@LanceVader Except I am Gen X, and kids have it worse than I did

@GlomarResponder It starts with growing up in a city without a horse or raw milk.

@GlomarResponder We're not reading the same gen x posters. Boomers have always been out of touch

@GlomarResponder As Gen-X, I was there when things started to go off the rails. Yet, we didn't see that we had much pull compared to the silent generation and the boomers, and we hoped they would put things right. At least Elon is trying to.

@GlomarResponder it’s just tidy their pampered childhoods (which previous generations never employed) didn’t prepare them for the challenges of early adulthood, so they complain incessantly

@GlomarResponder I think part of it is they're pretty consistently bamboozled by inflation. I've had older people tell me multiple times, "I never made that kind of money when I was your age!" But when you adjust for inflation, they actually made far more, but bigger numbers = more gooder

@GlomarResponder I think everyone has it harder than I did in the 90's when I was in my teens and 20's, shits not great yo

@GlomarResponder I don't know a single boomer/xer that doesn't believe kids have it harder today.

@GlomarResponder Young people have it harder in many ways. Gen-X had more opportunity. We grew up with more freedom. But some of their troubles seems self inflicted. I understand that older people lied to them or gave them bad advice. But they have to move past that, unfair as that is.

@GlomarResponder I think it's mostly denial. Acknowledging young people have it harder would be admitting that there has been a multi-generational period of decline which the US was not supposed to experience.

@GlomarResponder They'd have to admit they fucked it all up.

@GlomarResponder Because they DIDN'T. Why is it so hard for YOU to comprehend that concept. They didn't have cellphones. They didn't have computers. They didn't have EVs. They didn't have the Internet. It goes on and on. And they waste the largesse we brought them by making most of that…
