She's got part of the equation right but it's by design by yours truly big brother!
When I was a kid they had a commercial where they would say "This is your brain on drugs...." well this here is your future if you don't plan to work to get by,the sidewalk will be right there and it's full of homeless people,just pick a spot and get comfortable....
Or playing crazy to get a check cause ya'll are already on some pills for whatever

In todays world there are more ways than ever to make passive money without working for the white man.
That's not what she said.
i know.
she said she doesnt make enough to survive by herself on the salary she makes.
looks like OF is in her future.
She got a point, Gen Z didn't ruin the economy, but still shut yo lazy ass up and get back to work.
PS, find a roommate bitch.

Gen Z are lazy and I will explain why. She stated 20 years ago life was easier, so lets start there. In 2004, minimum wage was $5.15 an hour. The AVERAGE rent in the early 2000s were….
Median gross rent was $522 for units with no bedroom (generally efficiencies) and then it rose to $542 for one-bedroom units, $620 for two bedrooms, $698 for …
So if you times $5.15 by 40= you will make 206.00 a week and $824 a month, not including taxes. Plus you have to add water bill, food, car note, gas bills and electric bill. From the beginning everything always been expensive. The difference between today (gen z) and your grandparents is they knew how to work together, while today generation wants to do everything themselves. Well this is what comes with the territory.

If you were 18 yrs and started working at the post office in 2004 in nyc could you get an apt, buy a fridge full of groceries, and get a month pass to move around? The answer is yes.. in 2024 can a 18 yr old do the same exact thing? The answer is pretty much no.. that’s what they mean.. $18-$20 an hr in 2004 is way diff than $18-$20 an hr in 2024
That 18 year old can work for Amazon and get it

Stats.
In 2005 Median Monthly Rent was $612.00
In 2023 Median Monthly Rent $1,180 (fmr)
That is a 92% increase from 2005-2023.
If that $5.15 minimum wage got a 92% increase then the minimum wage would be $9.88 a hour.
But no. Most places got a higher minimum wage like NYC which is $15.00 a hour.
So……..$5.15-$15.00 is a 190% increase……..
The Post Office, a government gig? Hell fucking yes you can today. 10 years ago I had girl on my team tell me her husband who had just got off of active duty was working at the post office and after a couple years was pulling $90k with over time here in San Antonio. I'm feeling some kind of way because I'm considering a GS position as we speak after 12 years of working in corporate America and I couldn't built my shit real nice and been 10 years away from a full retirement.
I clearly said starting, not over Time.. I also clearly said nyc.. I have friends that make 6 figs at the post office so of course I know you can live off of a post office salary.. I have plenty of friends in that field and even talked about the perks and some of the secrets to getting hired.. I was talking about starting pay and i clearly said an 18 yr old since we were talking about the younger generation. It’s comparing how much 18 dollars could get you in 2004 compared to what it gets you in 2024
I was getting rejections from government jobs I applied to while in undergrad all the way up to 2017. I graduated in 2012.
Trying to get into the government is simply unreliable, and getting to 90k in a "couple of years" is simply unrealistic if you even get those jobs.
Bro you’re in a unique spot where cost of living is an outlier. It’s always been relatively unaffordable in NYC. I remember my homegirl for Queens I met in tech school was telling me the rent her dad was paying for their 3 bedroom apartment back in 2000. It was like $3000 back then. She was looking at some basic as apartments that was outside out base in Texas and was like damn $500 a month was amazing!
In reality here in San Antonio which is more representative of middle America you can on your own at 18 ,but it’s going be very basic. It’s not gone be some luxury shit, but it’s never been like that for an unskilled 18 year old worker. You get a trade, plumbing, HVAC, cosmetology that’s differen. Otherwise the typical 18 year old is not living on their own. He’ll even when I was a few years in the Air Force on active duty I had a roommate. This living on your own shit is cap and has been since we graduated high school. You gotta grind when you’re that age and that is the age to be learning that. These kids lack hustle man.
No generation is lazier than the Boomer generation. No generation is more entitled than the Boomer generation. And muthafuckas in the Boomer generation will die gripping and grasping at power.
We had a black guy that got hired in as a superintendent starting salary 90k...he got upset when he got here and seen how much union workers were making..and said he deserved more.. im like how...u aint did shit.. more than a few months later he was terminated failure to do his own job.. then had the nerve to call some of us and ask us can we help him get his job back!! Fuck outta here...
Gen Z and Alpha are gonna flip all the card tables over in this b!tch and throw all the chairs!
They are setting something that the previous generations en masse, due to their time being born in history, did not: set the muthafckin boundaries of what you NOT gonna do and dare 'em to make you do it, "'em" being the government.
It ain't pretty. It ain't clean. It ain't fun. Why? Because that means many of us will have to do work where it may be hard to cheat death, however, this is necessary on the path towards whatever our mutual liberation can be.
Higher percentages in both generations are figuring out earlier in their human development that it's a setup.
And since we are the adults, they are looking at us like, "So, this is how you and granny let the system fck you ya whole life?"
See, in my generation that tone would be seen as disrespect, however, these muthufckas are tryna save us. They are talking to us like we are human beings. The world doesn't talk to us like that. It sounds to them like we've given up.
Start to partner with these younger generations...its the only way out.

They definitely got to deal with an inflated economy. She got that part right.
The system isn’t meant for everyone to win in.
