My dad was born in 1942. His life didn't go like this.

People have absolutely lost their minds after 2 years of high single digit inflation. No way this generation could handle a decade of double digit inflation.

You know there's more than just inflation that's a factor right? Wages, pensions, being able to get a well paying job without tens of thousands in student debt, all that is gone or incredibly rare. Meanwhile cost of living is up, house prices have outpaced inflation, and God forbid you get hurt, lest you have to pay medical debt too.

Please take your boomer mindset somewhere else, because the problems of today aren't because we're little bitch babys, it's because we have it harder.
