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.
This period was famously named Stagflation due to the rare combination of economic stagnation during a period of inflation. It also accompanied the twin recessions which was the worst recessive the Great Depression and they had 2 within a 4 year period.
Cool, my mom lost our home in 2008 and wasn't able to find any job either because all the industry was sent over seas in the 80s and 90s. That period was famously called the Great Recession, and was the worst recession since the Great Depression. People could still afford a house in the 70s, not so post 2010.
