“If the chattering classes of Europe need a cautionary tale, they can look further afield than Japan. Michael Deacon’s recent column casts a dire portrait using a simple formula: fewer babies in Japan equals societal collapse, and by that logic, Britain’s increasing childlessness threatens to do the same. But this logic is flawed at its core, and to assume British millennials’ choices stem from mere selfishness is to misunderstand the situation entirely.”
I’m so goddamn sick of the same story… As an older millennial for my entire life each milestone was just a big “fuck you.”
Graduated highschool into the Iraq war, so fuck joining the military to fight for Haliburton and Raytheon.
College age financial collapse, so fucked on finding a good job.
Clawed my way up to make enough to consider home buying, nope here comes COVID, the WFH movement, AND
parasitesinvestment companies jacking prices through the roof.But no, Mr.Mrs. wealthy boomer, tell me again how it’s my fault you guys ruined society.
I know it’s a UK story, but it’s not much different here in freedumb land
Yeah I hate this shit. I’m a few years younger though. Nothing like being 18 and the only places hiring are McDonald’s and temp labor. I’m where I should be able to afford a house only for interest rates to be jacked while prices go through the roof.
