Something interesting;
France Gen Z unemployment rate: 7%
Belgium: 15%
Canada: 20%
Colombia: 27%
Spain: over 30%
By all means, statistics straight up say that people around that age are rejecting work entirely. How is this done?
Apartments with 8 or so people squeezed in. Vans/mobile. Living with parents, sure. Especially vans, though. A lot of people I went to high school with saved up for an RV or trailer-esque system. All though, the area was poor as shit.
Is this sustainable? No. But it’s cheaper than attempting to pay over a thousand dollars a month. Some are straight up trapped at home; even when working a trade some areas have such ridiculous rent that people are rejecting it entirely because they couldn’t afford car insurance (incredible rates for Gen Z) on top of having to pay bills and food. No wonder electric bikes have seen a surge in popularity; not only for younger people.
How do you think this will play out in the future?

Orcas literally play with prey for fun duh, they were always violent and that’s why we love em!
true, apparently sometimes they fuck with other animals purely for trolling, they don’t even eat their prey sometimes. They even slap the shit out of sharks with their tailfin and have been known to launch seals, and occasionally dolphins, into the air with a tail slap against the water that sends them flying, orcas don’t play, or I mean technically they do play but you know what I mean lol
They always troll everyone for fun, one time they took their time to beat up a stingray for an hour.
In their defense they were grinding XP
Best XP farming method, especially with Blue Whales, can’t get more than from them.
Living with their parents mostly is my guess. A lot of the gen z folks that I work with still do this even though they can afford not to.
Yeah, their parents are millennials and older zoomers. I don’t see the bulk of either generation tossing their kids out just cus like the boomers and xers. America goes back to multigenerational housing like most of the world
In the lead up to 2008, during the crash, and in its aftermath, millennial unemployment in the county I’m from was comparable and greater. I struggled to get the worst jobs, in retail, food service, other customer service crap.
I don’t think it’s Gen Z refusing to work, or being work shy. The economy is grinding to a halt, and the young get fucked over first.
They won’t
Gonna become war boys.
No but serious would be interesting to see a bunch of anarchist communes and squats pop up.
I refuse the question. I don’t think about hwo they will handle it. If I have a kid here it will be by accident and I’ll start freaking out about everything that makes the cost of living here so godawful
That’s perfectly fine. It’s a hypothetical though, not a commitment. I don’t plan to have a child until I’m comfortable enough to give them a decent standard of life.
Knowing the future, that might not be possible and I accept that too.
oh yeah, I know I just mean I avoid even thinking about the hypothetical. I know it can’t work for most people to simply leave the US.
