I would say he means how the system backfired on itself. Basically Slave Workers not coming back to work.
The most perverted thing is that young people have to get a College degree (=Student loan depts) in order to get a job that doesnt support even basic life necessities. It is horrible, and only now it became a thing of discussion because the engine doesnt work anymore like it did before.
ok Boomer
No need to be insulting. Peggy's ideas are either right or wrong and can be argued with reason. But insults are always wrong.
"Ok Boomer" is the proper response to such nonsense. People are tired of listening to boomers trot out false BS. Peggy clearly hasn't put the slightest bit of effort into seeing if what they are saying is true. Why bother putting energy into people like that?
It's true, I'm a boomer too.
But I also know collage costs four times as much as in my day even accounting for inflation, that minimum wage hasn't kept up with inflation, that my secondary school was paid for by the public, that medical insurance has deteriorated. I don't pretend I didn't have an easier time of it than today's new employees. I understand you have trouble with numbers, but pointing those numbers out isn't whining. We're part of the first generation that has made the US worse for the next. Own it.
Peggy,
Remember, thanks to Boomers, for the first time the 1% now has more resources than the ENTIRE middle class. But Peggy doesn't want any shade thrown their way! Boomers did this. They decided that massive amounts of money should be taken away from the middle class and given to the rich. It's taken 40 years, but by God they've done it. And now boomers whine that the next generation thinks this was a bad idea.
Incorrect, ok boomer is not a proper response. It is meant to denigrate the one whom it is addressed to. Thus it is insult and if used often enough, a slur. People may be tired of BS but that is a separate issue and so is its response. Why bother putting energy into it? Because it is wrong to treat people that way.
what? just because you don't see on "preferred news source" doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
"People are changing jobs at a significantly higher rate".
"There is no great resignation"
I'm unclear on how these two statements go together. No one said all those people are sitting idle.
don't be a drone, have a skill.
I can flip a burger like noone else man, juicy, tasty burgers. I would still only get paid min wage.
