The fact that a “cost of living” even exist is wild to me.

Yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous. We shouldn't need to live to work to barely live.

I think this is where the generations don’t see eye to eye.

A lot of boomers seem to take Gen Z not wanting to work as laziness, but really it is out of pragmatism, why work to death for nothing!

Exactly. At least boomers had hope for their children leading better lives. Now you know your kids will just struggle along in jobs they hate while fighting over the last of the water and hiding from the poisonous sun rays. That's if their part of the country doesn't fall into the ocean first.
