It’s not bizarre. It’s all intentional to keep you confused and in the dark.

Stop blaming young people (Gen Z) for this and that. If your child is a failure, then you have failed as a parent. Simple as that, start taking responsibility. I’m a Gen Z young man myself and I know how to cook a stew from raw ingredients, bake bread and make pasta. I do this everyday because of how super expensive it is to eat out these days.

@TheMyrmo Intentional on whose part??? We live in a society ruled by sociopaths, narcissists, sadists, and psychopathic criminals of all sorts!! There are people out there who are very ecstatic over our suffering/misery.

@Sirpass.Skateboards I live in Ontario, Canada and I feel your pain as well. Our entire economy is based on real estate speculation and there are no other meaningful jobs outside of real estate speculation. We’re squeezed to zero with such disastrous policies.

@vejet Haha, just wait several more years and you’ll start seeing more people living in tents. It’s gonna get worse.

Everything about the economy is very distorted thanks to financial manipulation (inflation), and a whole host of other misunderstandings by older folks. Your video reminded me of how I grew up as a Gen Z in the 2000s. Older people (including my parents) treating blue collar labor as scum bags and also treating service professionals as losers. These are the backbone professionals who build and maintain everything that we enjoy in life! Without such a powerful/robust industrial, construction, renovations and services sector; our economy would be in shambles! THAT is exactly what we’re seeing right now! It’s about time that many people reap the rotting fruits of their harvest!

Since you’re doing well, keep it up! Don’t do anything massive (gambles), but rather, take incremental steps and work locally.

@angelarich8455 To be fair, there are problems and weakness with each generation. I’m so over Gen Z and Boomers blaming each other for this or that. Why not help one another out? It’s going to get worse…

@churroman29 Thrifting and knowing how to repair your own stuff is good, but that still does not address the underlying problem of how most Americans live. Car dependent suburbia is dominated by corporate monopolies where very few mom and pop stores exist. Even getting tools to repair things these days is super expensive thanks to inflation.

There are many astroturfers (trolls) that paid high $$$ to lie, slander and spread misinformation. For ordinary people (like myself), I’m also struggling as well with inflation.

@kyleworley1958 Wow, you are so delusional to economics and monetary policy. I feel sorry for you.

@deriznohappehquite Not true. Canada has more cranes per capita than the entire USA combined. That and take into account that Canada has less than 1/3 America population. What’s really driving up the cost of housing is 1) pension plans tied into real estate, 2) Canada unhinged immigration policies and 3) overtaxation by the government. Canada, like America, has already dumped many of its 1950s suburban zoning codes.

@ColinWrubleski-eq5sh The problem with these population statistics is that they’re done very decade, not every month or year. Political policies can immediately change overnight, causing massive changes suddenly. With Justin Trudeau and Joe Biden allowing tens of millions of illegal and legal immigrants in; there is good reason to believe that the population figures are way higher than expected. And no, Wikipedia is a bad source to get info from. It’s well known by American medical associations and individual medical professionals that 90% of what Wikipedia mentions on their site about “medical science” is false, untruthful or dishonest. Sharyyl Atkinson did a Ted Talk about how Astroturfing works in our present time.

I think German prophet Alois Irimaier has already answered your question.
