GEN Z doesnt have kids, so they dont have any of the problems.
But they ARE the problem because of it.
If you are living with your family, grandparents and everyone involved, you have an easy time to give the children to them. If you want to do everything on your own, especially as a single mom, you quickly find out, thats not healthy at all, you will burn out, if it works at all.

Remove the wager slavery tax called “income tax”, and give us honest money instead of the fiat fake money we have. Until this happens everyone is getting f’ed. If a person works for a year, the first 4 months they work for free, all their money going to a super corrupt government.

Working a 9-5 until retirement doesn’t have to be the only path. You can boost your financial future by investing in stocks and crypto. I personally generate passive income using Chanel’s expert trading strategy, which has allowed me to retire early and diversify into other income-generating assets. Let your money work for you, instead of relying on a traditional 9-5.

As a late Millenial, I would say I’d rather change jobs every year than stay jn the same one for the rest of my career not because I enjoy job hopping, but because of the sad reality that many companies no longer respect or reward loyalty and hard work. I would absolutely love to work all my life in a place I’m happy and productive at with people that are pleasant to be around, but unfortunately modern corporations always put short-term interests above people and even a dream job can quickly turn sour due to circumstances beyond the employees’ control: changing markets, new C suite, acquisitions, IPO… there’s just so much instability and loyalty means nothing anymore.

I wish I was never born. All jobs entail a different kind of misery and there’s no way to exist in this world without a source of income. You need money to exist because we’ve created a system where everything is behind a paywall. Prices are getting more prohibitive every year. I’m 27 and I can’t even dream of owning a humble home. I didn’t ask to be here in the first place. The things I love to do don’t make money, at least not enough to cover the cost of living, and they are projected to be erased by AI. I don’t want to turn myself into a corporate slave doing a meaningless job to be paid enough to get by and then die. I don’t know, I feel like I have no reasons to live anymore. I can’t visualise any future that I enjoy being in. And the reality is that no one really cares. I feel genuinely hopeless.

You’re looking at it by a strange angle. There was never a time where people did not have to do some kind of work to survive. And the vast majority of time, the work was not pleasant. Do you think our ancestors like hunting and farming not to starve? And being afraid one bad crop would get half the family killed?
You are young and you have options. No one exists in this world without putting a lot of effort. It’s simply the reality of any species.

@@dakamero what is worth achieving in your opinion? I fail to see worthwhile goals in this life.

I don’t see the point in achieving anything. I’m genuinely curious how other people see life for what it is and find themselves wanting to continue the experience.

My fathers advice to me was don’t hesitate to change jobs. He died at 93 in 2015. So what I did was change jobs every three years. I am a retired 70 year old female software developer. Some of us baby boomers realized companies will get rid of us without any thought. Look at what Musk is doing to the federal government. I increased my salary by at least 20 percent every time I changed jobs. Only way to get ahead. Not a new idea at all.

It’s interesting to see the Gen X looking at Gen Z version of this story (Gen Zer). I think your answers are useful, and we should definitely implement them.
As a disabled person, I’m realizing that traditional jobs are physically near-impossible for me, and even my intended career path is likely to cause me health problems. I’m curious what happens if we combine the Gen Z anti-work and digital movements with a culture of accommodations. For me, being able to work online allows me to have the privacy I need to focus. Being able to work flexible hours allows me to be productive and happy without burning out as easily. I would love to see what it’s like to ask people to join and leave companies in more flexible ways, such that we don’t work for companies, but that companies work because we offered our services.
I am also curious about what happens if we let robots handle economies of scale, and let our thinkers become more fully human and internally-varied. If technologies don’t help us find our humanity, they may as well have not existed.
I know this reality would be hard to find, but I’m willing to take steps in this direction.
