Whoa, I feel like I jumped back in time 10 years when these corporate meat-riders were blaming us for their beer businesses failing while simultaneously telling us the reason we're struggling is that we're being irresponsible with our money. The "arrested development" is the USA's disillusionment with capitalism.

lol. buying a house? having kids? I can barely afford to EAT, let alone bring another person into the world.

The WSJ is a right wing rag, unfit for toilet paper. No one should be surprised they publish half wit musings.

Have you thought about buying a house instead of an avocado???

The only growing emotionally that needs to happen is for the American people to grow some class consciousness.

It’s because we’re all accepting this unfair system even though the social contract has been broken. The first step is to stop accepting this system.

Imagine renting or getting a mortgage in this shitty society with no job security.

A murdoch tabloid says as much. its for boomer/older gen x consumption.

I wasn’t going to have kids and become poor just to feed some stupid orphan-crushing machine.

Pretty funny that the article and the reply both implicitly assume adulthood is owning things or doing certain activities. Adulthood is being able to navigate life through adversity. Every young person I know treading water with unstable income and no support is way more 'grown up' than boomers complaining about having to cut back on retirement cruises.

And anyone with the potential for a future, destroyed it all as soon as they became an adult by taking on a mountain of student loan debt, only to be told that the career they paid a fortune for is being largely replaced by AI.

I think they feel the AI and Planitr (I don't care if I've got the spelling wrong) with ICE will keep people in line
