Lol, you guys are just arguing in cross-purposes. Bit of a useless exchange. Listen to each other, you might learn something. (kek, I'll wait for the down votes. Thanks.)
I think that u/AnonDan has missed / can't see the point of the first comment, but he's also not exactly wrong, either. Culture today is structured to push young people in the direction of instant gratification. That's just a fact.
But the issue isn't simply black or white. There are multiple factors affecting the situation that young(er) people find themselves in today. Not being willing to sacrifice might be true for some, but certainly not for all. Meanwhile, as the OP is saying, you have an economic system that is totally stacked against them.
But I mean, u/pnwhomebrewer 's "most boomer take I have ever seen" is definitely a slur, and nothing else. And then blanket blaming 'you' and making it completely personal.... sheeesh. Dan rises to the jab, and comes out with "Unlike you I didn't vote for Joe Biden".... One of the kekiest slams I've ever seen... ( to paraphrase from brewer) but totally just reactive and uncalled for.
As for u/SorosOrMuskPickOne, Dan is clearly saying 'we' in the context of him and his significant other, not 'we' as in 'we boomers' or 'our generation'.
So far, I'm yet to find anything in this exchange that actually constructively discusses the issue. You're all acting like kindergarten frogs. (Note: this comment does not necessarily reflect the views of the moderators. /s)
Keep you jabs for the woke lefties on X, peeps. Maybe try to be a little constructive here?
(Addendum: apologies for the comment, but I haven't filled my downvoted quota for the day.)
Ok, I'll accept that when he said we that he meant no one in his generation and just himself and one other person in his family. u/AnonDan you good with that?
