- 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.
Sounds like ideal conditions for a long-overdue Riot Time.
Nah just STOP BUYING FUCKING BULLSHIT.
Every time this comes up we have the solution but some lazy spoiled fucked says “well coke or chips are the only thing that makes my life good”.
That’s fucking pathetic.
Coke and chips is pretty low on the list of problems when struggling to find a decent full time job or trying to afford education.
Although Coca Cola the company has a pretty goddamn monstruos history. So they’re not really blameless in the wonderous history of capitalism. And lays is owned by Pepsi. So…yeah, chips and soda are pretty good examples of contributing to the societal rot that capitalism has left in its wake.
But then again, the person you’re replying to is still off the base and I don’t support their “vote with your wallet” message in response to direct action.
if we are overworking ourselves to an early grave but can’t even afford coke & chips, i think its riot time.
We’re not buying anything, we’re choosing between rent, groceries, and healthcare. Grow up.
I love how this has gone from Starbucks, to Avocado toast, and now to Coke and Chips.
Even the disparaging boomers have had to drop the quality of “small thing to help make it through the day” from something that cost $10+ to something that costs less than $2.
I don’t know how they can be cognisant enough to figure that out, but not see the world decaying around them
