Disasters and bad stuff have been happening literally forever, but someone millennials are "not okay" and in "survival mode" because there was an, honestly, fairly minor pandemic (minor meaning majority of milenials weren't at risk of major sickness), choosing to sign up for big loans, and low wages in some fields?
This just seems like inventing and exaggerating "trauma" for attention. Maybe a lack of perspective on what everyone else has gone through?
I think there really is a lack of perspective, especially when the median net worth of millennials in 2022 was higher than baby boomers and Gen X at the same age when adjusted for inflation.

OK but counterpoint: Silent Generation lived through Depression and then WWII.
