Can you still have a midlife crisis when everything seems like a crisis? Anyhow, welcome to the club.

Gen Z's identity crisis might be hitting early because of higher amounts of financial instability in their early career years, experts said.

Millennials:

So they have a perceived life expectancy of 50?

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.

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.

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
