• A rising number of young Americans are disconnected from work, school, and a sense of purpose.
  • Disconnection rates have been increasing since the 1990s, affecting young people’s futures.
  • Poor mental health and a lack of a financial safety net contribute to rising disconnection.

    I don’t think giving up is the solution though.

    Laying around being a burden is the worst way to go about it.

      Actually I do understand more than most other gen z people. I was buying and cooking my own food since I was 14 my parents never cared. I’ve worked everyday of my life right after highschool I’m actually going to college this fall I’m just pointing out it’s difficult to even get a job at all anymore even if you apply to a million different jobs so getting through school nowadays isn’t exactly going to get you very far in this age we live in

          acceptance of being exploited with an ever dwindling quality of life, while we have ever improving automation and technology ain’t the solution either.

          why should i keep pushing for the basics for rich people to get even richer off my work?

      Right. We need a revolution. If you go far enough left, you get your guns back.

      theres little incentive not to though. its getting hard for new generations to even afford food, so whats the actual point?

      on the other hand theres mounting incentive to start using guilliotines again.
