Gen Z’s identity crisis might be hitting early because of higher amounts of financial instability in their early career years, experts said.
Thursday already? Time for another once-in-a-lifetime crises!
So they have a perceived life expectancy of 50?
Idk about you, but at this rate, I don’t dare try to tell them otherwise.
The jokes will be on the billionaires whose wet dream for the last 4p years was to gut social security…not only will people pass from Deaths of Despair long before that. 67 YO in this world? Lol. Give capitalism another decade unfettered and male life expectancy will be in the 60s, guaranteed.
-life expectancy is already plummeting in the US vs. other countries, but the morons are going to kill much immigration–the only thing that has been sustaining the US’s population. Every other country would be desperate for cheap, unskilled labor to exploit and birthrates but not these short-sighted greedy fucks.
Yeah, but that’s why they do things like getting rid of abortion rights, and why they push conspiracy theories about white people being replaced, and sadly it all seems to be working
Oh gawd, is America’s future gonna look like Romania’s past when Ceausescu banned all family planning options and penalized childless couples? Orphanages overflowed with children who were unwanted due to poverty, children who were mistreated by the limited staff working within those institutions. They were called “Ceausescu’s Children.”
Probably 🤷♀️ I don’t know exactly how it was in Romania though, where a lot of the people back then true believers? Because this in America a sizeable part of the population seem to be

Despite our ridiculously unhealthy typical lifestyle, I’m pretty sure most of that decrease is still coming off the front-end (worsening infant mortality rates), not the back-end (adults not living as far into old age).
It is now, for people who have some form of income into old age. When all the pensions are milked dry and social security and Medicare are on the chopping block, longevity will go along with it.
It’s beginning to hit them: no matter how well they do, the planet is fucked, and nobody with the power to change things seems to care. Their choices are either “midlife crisis” or “live in denial”.
And their men are backsliding into racism and misogyny. So apparently we need to relitigate like 70 years of basic human rights and democratic first principles AGAIN before we can make any effort at tackling these very obvious upcoming problems.
Can you still have a midlife crisis when everything seems like a crisis? Anyhow, welcome to the club.
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Haha I don’t need a specific age to have a crisis what a bunch of fucking amateurs
ever since I was 17 I’ve struggled to see a point in being alive. I try to stay positive but some days it’s just so impossibly hard.
what helps me is focusing on all the people who’s lives would become that much harder if I left. its a meme but “mom would be sad” is genuinly useful for me.

I mean, better have the identity crisis before the planet burns.
