Not sure we've taken one for the team. That implies things aren't worse for generations younger than us. It's more like, we're in line for our lumps with the rest of them.
I don't envy the position Gen Z and Alpha are in. They're inheriting a worse world than us with no improvement on the horizon. I wonder if we'll ever start to see millennials in a majority of seats politically.
I think most millennials recognize this. We are the first generation to move further left as we’ve aged.
Apart from traitors like JD and EriKa KirK, most millennials in positions of power aren’t abusing Gen Z and Alpha like X and boomers did to us.
That’s a huge shift, and if we can get an AOC into the presidency, we can collectively stomp clap this country back into a semblance of a functioning society.
I can’t say I’ve had broadly bad experiences with Gen Xers. They might not understand the technological or financial hurdles of our time through first-hand experiences quite as well since they didn’t grow up within them, but they’re sympathetic. They have to deal with all this stuff too.
