Gen Z Can’t Afford the Rent

[Scustin Bieburr]

Tale as old as time. They'll get away with shyt as long as they can and that limit is usually when pitchforks and guillotines come out. The big difference is right now even the poorest of us have a lot of creature comforts that historically we did not have. Time and patience running out though, Gen Z might be the first generation in a long time that legitimately has very little hope for the future.

Ironically those same comforts are what is radicalizing people. They're radicalized by video essays on YouTube, podcasts, tik tok clips, and memes posted on message boards. They're seeing that it's not just them feeling like shyt is purposefully being made worse by people who have an outsized amount of power.

You're getting people who are going from liberals to socialists and from socialists to anarchists. And anarchists are about that ACTION historically. Men especially are who they should be concerned about.

A young man with no access to love and relationships from women, shrinking economic opportunities and depression/anxiety that they can't even afford to treat because of a broken Healthcare system is the prime target for fascists and anarchists. These are the kind of men that are capable of events that change history. As long as these young white men are more angry at women and minorities than the true author of their pain it's all good as far as politicians and media are concerned.

When one of these cats kills a well known billionaire tho? There will be people shocked while people like me will be sitting back reading the news like:

Instead of talking about real issues y’all would rather have arguments about generations

And I don’t understand why this gen conversation always comes up because boomers benefit from gen z making money and gen z benefited from boomers making money

Boomers should be more upset at this shyt than gen z cause gen z not making money hurts everybody, and boomers need support

Cause the undercurrent of this is saying Boomers need to get out the way and let the next gen fix the mess they made.

Hands down the WOAT generation...

shyts not even remotely debatable, I legit never thought I'd live to see boomers get dethroned of they crown...

Half these broke lil nikkas and thots faking it till they make it stunting on social media and complaining they can't pay the rent...

Who hurt you

Gen Z has to be one of the most laziest, sensitive group of people out there.

These cats just do whatever they feel like it with no accountability and then want to blame the order generations for their failures.

Those dikkheads really thought quitting their jobs after Covid was a good idea & that they would be able to maintain their high spending lifestyles

Facts. There’s a whole island in Hawaii these fags can go rebuild if they are serious about getting this bread but that might infringe on their ability to post themselves getting sturdy and putting on extendo lashes.

Look, it’s no secret that times are hard across the board but folks bemoaning this obvious instance of apparent reality ain’t helping a damn thing.

I know it’s rough out here but I hear some of these young folks at my job saying some crazy shyt. They stay traveling, going out to eat for seafood boils and shyt and ordering clothes and useless shyt online. Then wanna complain about not being able to pay rent and how the state don’t pay enough. I know that’s not the case for all the young folks but got damn get your priorities together

Skipping out on a seafood boil isn't going to put the 80k to 100k in their bank account so they can afford the 20% on an 'ok house' in a big city.

Companies have regularly been shipping jobs overseas and now using AI to dial wages backwards, and in the meantime, they are inflating the price of everything.

This day was going to come sooner or later where America is essentially a 3rd world country with the rich and the poor.

The crap they are buying online is mostly crap that ends up coming apart after two or three washes.


Put it like this…I’d rather own the 1980s $500 dollar deep freezer that lasted 20 years as a kid than the Bluetooth touch screen fridge that stops working after 5.

So what should one do to fix the issue?

They don't need an 'ok' house in a big city or $80-100k in their accounts and there are PLENTY of jobs right here in America.

YOU work at one right now as do the majority of people posting in this thread.​

Where'd you get those numbers?

If every single thing is going up EXCEPT wages then who exactly is benefitting other than those at the very top?

All that extra money is clearly going somewhere. Its not taxes because let me correct myself from the first line, because there is one other thing that hasnt gone up. If im not mistaken, has actually gone DOWN. And that is taxes for the wealthy. The same wealthy all that inflation is bypassing the working man's pockets for.

So yeah, these new muhfukkas may be lazy, entitled, sensitive, whatever. Im not here to debate that one way or another. But i aint mad at them for not wanting to play this fukked up game, and if im keeping it a stack if we had taken a leaf out their book wages may be a little higher right now.

Cause mcdonalds aint start paying 20 an hour in a vacuum

If i recall that happened after the pandemic when dem youngins finally said "nah fukk this"

No but when you going out for seafood boils and fukking up the bar every weekend that coulda been put toward the rent. Reread my post. I said they struggling with rent after all the money they spent on useless shyt. This ain’t even about houses

Man, I'm in a position to get more cats employed in my industry, but all I get is excuses even though I, personally, train them and my company pays for certifications that are valid Nation-wide.



We aren't 'in the way'. Hell, we're doing what we can to get them in where they fit in, ESPECIALLY if they're Black, but they don't want to work.​

They really listened to Beyonce's "Break My Soul" and followed through with it

[Buckeye Fever]

Was looking for this post. No excuse. GenZ is lazy
And think they’re too good to work. Nothing more.

Have fast food jobs paying $20 an hour and claim you can’t afford rent Brehs

Then, it's always some old B1TCH ass nikka talking bout "Gen Z ain't fallin' for this shyt"


I'm like "Shut yo bytch ass up and get off they dikk"
