You keep saying “he thinks this thing will happen.” When it is the thing that is currently happening right now, not a hypothetical future.

old people cannot have a monopoly on depression. kids are experiencing these serious feelings for the first time and need an adult to help them. kudos to you for validating and actually listening to your son.

On the last point, I think young women are less interested in men because they have seen women be placed into the dual role of caregiver and breadwinner. Having a man in their lives will only add pregnancy risk and extra labor to a life that is, as you discuss, already very difficult! Speaking as a young woman myself

I’m 26, and they’re right about all of these concerns. I’m not going to give up, but it doesn’t seem that things are going to get easier.

Young people are going through a Great Depression right now. And it’s hidden.

He said that his son though that in the near future these things are happening. But we’re literally witnessing some of them happen right now.

I dont know how *you* arent feeling like this. If "more transparency is destabilizing" then the fucking thing needs to be destabilized. The people NEED to know what kind of evil shit people in power get up to. This mentality of "maybe we shouldn't air people [in power] dirty laundry because it's destabilizing" feels a lot like white people going "our kids shouldn't be taught about slavery because it makes them feel bad"

I think your son is more up to date with the real market than yourself in many areas. But he is lucky to have an old school father who provide him basic stability.

With the internet, kids today are much more aware than their parents at similar ages. 🤔

I'm from the Netherlands, and 10 years ago, I was able to buy a house right after I finished school.
10 years later I more than doubled my income but live in a house I would not be able to afford if I would have to buy it today.
I fear for the future of my kids because even people from my generation who haven't had a house by now, are not even able to afford one now.
