"I want a better future for everyone" I think they legit want a easier life for kids but get upset that the kids still act like they got it rough at times. Things are all about expierence. If you truly had a hard life a lot of the things todays kids go through seems petty but to them they never expierenced what you did so they ain't "toughened up" so to speak wnd will get upset over things that seem petty cause they've never dealt with worse. --- I put my heart and soul into my work and I fear I have lost my mind in the process ...

Each of the last five or six generations has had things a bit easier than those that went before. Today's kids will almost certainly be finger-wagging at generations younger than themselves in a few years. But that's not guaranteed, because it feels like there could be some very rough times ahead and this might be the calm before the storm.

I wouldn't say 9/11 was the trigger factor for that. I think you're seeing correlation and mistaking it for causation. Way I observed it, it brought about a lot of public distrust and xenophobia towards Islam and people from Arabic countries, and that this resulted in growing support for populistic movements that are openly against non-western (or flat-out non-white) influences. But I suppose it is possible that this specific doesn't apply to all countries where there has been a sharp rise in right-wing conservative populism over the past 20 years. I haven't checked for every one of them. --- One time, CE triggered me so hard with their objectively wrong opinions that I accidentally punched myself in the balls. ... Copied to Clipboard!

do you have the slightest idea of how much college used to cost 40 years ago? Housing? What about the salary vs cost of those ratio @Vampire_Chicken ?Very few people I knew personally went on to college after secondary school, because most working-class kids -- like me -- on the estate where I lived had to go straight from school to earning a wage where they could; higher education was out of reach for a lot of us. And for a generation of school leavers in Thatcher's Britain, caught in the middle of one of the worst recessions in living memory, finding and keeping a job wasn't always easy -- and in my experience they didn't pay particularly well, so it was tough to save. So no, I've no idea how much college used to cost 40 years ago. Housing? Dunno about that either, I was born and brought up in rented council housing because my parents couldn't afford to buy; I couldn't afford my first place until I was 30, when I took out a joint mortgage with my wife. If you think you've got it rough today, trust me: I've been there before. Yes, this is a particularly crappy time for a lot of people, and not just kids either by the way (I was homeless for a spell in 2011), but the 1980s were a lot shittier than any rose-tinted nostalgia might sucker people into believing. There's winners and losers in every generation, every era, sure; but of all the people I knew, a lot of us at that time didn't feel like we were living the lives of winners. --- All the good usernames were already taken. ...

baby boomers and gen xers had the easiest childhoodWhen you're young, everyone older than you must have had an easier time than the one you're having; when you're old, everyone younger than you always seems to have it easier than you did. I'd say the class you were born into, rather than the year you were born in, was a bigger determinant of how easy you had it (or not). Believe me, I sympathize with people who've been hit by a double whammy of being born into modest means and brought up in painful times. --- All the good usernames were already taken. ...
