I’m in my early 30s and I think about this a lot. Will these generations be healthy enough to form a competent workforce, so that I can expect SS benefits when/if I’m able to retire? Will there still be jobs for that generation or will almost everything be automated away?

Plenty of us know but few have ever listened to us.

Have you ever had a talk with a boomer? They regularly got the shit beat out of them. My dad had southern parents and they made him choose the stick he was gonna get hit with. The first time he chose a "switch" he chose a twig. His mom fetched a branch as punishment.

Amen

Not to mention the hell-on-earth that our present passivity is ensuring will be their inescapable future. "We love our children." Emptiest of words, given our inaction.

As opposed to previous generations of those massively traumatized? Who, exactly, do you think all these mass shooters are? How privileged and removed from reality do you have to be to think trauma is new? Last I heard, deaths of despair aren't happening to anyone under 50. WTF.

Really astute point that makes a huge difference, thanks

I think the coming famines and worthless dollar is gonna traumatize them the most. This country turning into a third world nation do our leader irresponsible actions is gonna do them in.

Isn’t the current generation of adults is really a generation of traumatized kids grown up? .. and the previous generation.. and the previous one..? That’s why we witness all this nightmare.

you’re not wrong. things can almost always get worse.
