I often hear from people that “the youth” doesn’t want to work anymore. And they also talk about me low key, even tho i’m 40. And they tell me wild shit like “kids” don’t want to work overtime and crap like that. Just because they licked the boots of every boss they ever had. And they could raise a family and buy a house working at a kiosk. If you work your ass off these days in a kiosk, best case scenario is that you are able to rent an okay apartment and maybe a car at the same time. I know so many boomers that are super incompetent and while they all worked, they never had “good high paying” jobs, like some pharma dude or something. All blue collar workers. And they are all retired at 62 and live in a sometimes very nice house with two or three cars. Which is unthinkable these days.
This is too real for my 35 y/o self.
