medium | Hi!! Smile!!
This generation is fucked.
Not
just minor-league mini-fucked. Not a little bit cutesy aww Pikachu
feels sad levels of fucked. This generation is full on holy bazoly did
that really just happen ZOMG WTF kthxbye degrees of fucked.
Here’s
what you already know. If you’re under the age of 35ish, you, many of
your friends, and most of your acquaintances are probably living at home
(or supported by the parentals); underemployed; overeducated; working
for peanuts; obeying the orders of sociopathic, high-fiving Neanderthals
in handmade suits (who, in case you thought it couldn’t get any worse,
by next year will be…robots); at “jobs” that resemble modern-day
servitude more than gainful employment, if by “gainful employment” you
mean work by which you actually gain something lasting and which makes
the most of you.
Like many, they probably wonder: “What the fuck! When will my life…actually begin?”
They
feel stuck. Waiting for their first “real” job, home, break, gig, deal,
family, career, chance. As if they’ve been marooned. By their elders.
By “opportunity” (whatever the fuck that word means, anyways. The chance
to clean the toilets of a super-rich asshole with the soul of a serial
killer? Wow, thanks for knocking, “opportunity”!!). By the lives they
were supposed to have.
They are stuck. They’re probably going to keep waiting. Forever. For most, their lives will never “begin”; in the sense of meeting one’s expectations. This is their life.
Hey you!!! Smile!! Stay positive!!!!!
This is the first generation in the rich world that’s going to be worse off than its parents.
Not just temporarily. Permanently. Barring some kind of minor miracle, like free clean energy; or secret downloads of bitcash from Mars.
By worse off, I simply mean poorer. And by poorer, I simply mean: it will earn less.
