I'm starting to question what your perception is. The situation for Gen Z is incredibly bleak compared to decades before. It doesn't matter if it's trending online or not, it's not a narrative created on Tiktok, it's an actual reflection of their reality. We're not talking about the metric we measure the economy with, we're talking about how Tiktokers are.
The lack of action on climate change and the effect that will have on the economy is not complicated. The lack of affordable housing is not complicated. Retirement becoming a foreign concept is not complicated. The rising cost of living and wages that have been stagnant for decades is not complicated. The awareness that a person could pay for college and raise a family off of one income just 50 years ago is not complicated. Give the kids more credit. Here are some trending Tiktok videos. How complicated do you think the average Tiktoker found the economic factors being talked about here?
The thing you seem to be concerned about is whether or not we should allow them to be aware of reality. Sure, some of these kids are oversimplifying, or over exaggerating, but they're not wrong. They're fukked. Gen Z is fukked, and the generation after them is even more fukked. If Biden wants Tiktokers to feel more secure with the economy he should be able to show them he can unfukk them.

I am starting to think you believe the economy isn't bad for young people.
The article says the economy isn’t that bad and young people need to get off tiktok and you thought it wouldnt illicit a response?I guess I didn't think there would be this binary reaction from anyone, like it's a really insulting article
Like I thought this was really interesting, as it relates to human pyshcology and social media, the election, and campaigning.
You shared it in a thread about the 2024 presidential election and the article writers has a different take on the economy versus those it’s criticizing.At no time, am I interested in defending or attacking young people, or defending or attacking the Biden admin. Or debating the foundations of the economy, good or bad. That's just not where my mind ever was on this topic.
