Honestly, given the money Gen X has, Gen Z would mostly probably do the same.

While some of our actions can be directed by principle, mostly it's just shrinking income.

I wish we could raise wages AND use them to embrace Buy It For Life items, all while subsidizing public transportation etc etc.

But now it's lack of money that holds Gen Z back, not principles, in my opinion.

    Gen z understands that the rich are the cause of their poverty, not immigrants or libs or other poor people. That's a big step in directing action in the right direction.

    Fair, though I wonder how much of it is real change and how much is our information bubble. Hopefully mostly the former, but I absolutely do hear all those "fuck immigrants" and "I'm to blame, I just gotta work harder" attitudes around.
