Myself and my own.
In what world is working on a farm or factory easier than working at home in your pajamas. Am I missing something:skip:

Every generation in America has it easier than the ones before. Young ppl now are just lazy as hell
Nah boomers did. The barrier of entry into a lot of the better or professional jobs was much lower or easier before than it is now. That alone speaks heavily.

Its back, since nobody wants to work. Those same public transportation jobs with full benefits are available now, but nobody wants them. Those same mail carrier jobs are available, with benefits. I got a list of available jobs that I pass along to the teens/young adults i know. I talk to them a couple weeks later, they still haven't applied.

Man they aint really hiring at them state and city jobs. They have openings but unless you know someone you ain’t getting in.

All that’s left really is as you say driving a bus or a mail truck.

If I had nothing else to do I'd work them jobs until better comes along. I hate asking people for money and I don't understand how grown people do that shyt

Bro it's real crazy to me that people are commenting on the difficulty level of jobs they couldn't get if they tried their hardest and trying to say their factory jobs anyone could do (and most people have done) are somehow more challenging. Fohhhh.

See now you're trying to play occupational supremacy to prove your point. You're getting defensive because you know you're wrong.

Your posts reek of some type of insecurity, just like the NBA fans I mentioned before. Almost like you're trying to convince us of your masculinity by saying you go home more tired than yroman jobs that are stereotypically attributed to men. NBA fans do the same to NFL fans to try to sell their sport as equivalents along a tangent of masculinity.

Do you really, REALLY believe that the end of your work day finds you just as drained of energy as a farmer, cattle rancher, or oil rig workers? Go on and delude yourself into believing that my G if that's what it takes to accept your insecurity on this topic :mjlol:

And who is making and/or reacting to that meme? Robots? :dahell:

Are we in "The Matrix"? :dahell:
Cats talking about the internet like it's Narnia or Middle Earth or some shyt. :mjlol:

99% of Americans aged 19-29 use the internet. 30-49 is 98%. 50-64 is 96%.


So yes, everyone is on the internet. What year do you think it is? :what:

Dawg if u think the “ok boomer” meme is a sign that Gen Z disrespects Boomers or are critical of them u may need to log out breh

That’s like a nikka coming on here and saying black men are homophobic because we use fakkit here

U tryna base an argument around memes, give me sum that’s tangible that shows Gen Z is critical of boomers

Bro I think you're projecting at this point. I stated knowledge based work is much more difficult than physical based work and you seem to be the only person in this equation that's offended by that comment. Hide behind all the smileys you want, but your reach towards "occupational supremacy" says it all, and until you actually get a job doing high end knowledge based work (and I don't believe your coli cap either), you have no idea what you're talking about and are speaking on complete ignorance.

They had an easier time getting their lives started as young(er) adults even if they were a bit "unsophisticated". Unionized Factory jobs that required only a highschool degree were easier to get, before outsourcing. Plus cost of living was way lower.

A lot of millennials are barely getting by even after we get our degrees and certs and etc. Then you throw in student loans and a kid or two in the mix? You're financially fukked.

Anyway, Blame the party of "trickle down economics" and automation.

It’s literally the easiest and most lucrative time in human history to be alive and successful. Mufukkas are just lazy and crybabies and more worried about making sure men can turn into women comfortably as opposed to going out there and getting to it.

I agree. But those bus driver jobs today ain’t paying for a house like they did in 1965 when the boomers were working.
