That quote may not be true, but American’s were certainly desperate enough. Having heard how mom and dad grew up in the Depression, and young adulthood in WWII, I laugh at GenZ thinking they have it bad.
“No. You have it bad compared to your parents and grandparents. Whine to their parents and let’s see how that plays out.”
I sympathize with Gen Z. It’s pretty natural to see your parents’ generation having done way better than you are doing at the same age and feel like you’ve had something stolen from you. It’s a pretty profound sense of loss, esp. when you do look at history and think, “Jesus Christ, do we have to suffer like the Great Depression to turn this shit around?”
