Because things that previously were general "adulting" functions have been hypercommodified and we're left having to navigate the world with less money, less time, and less idea of what's real and what's a scam.

This isn't a generational issue, it's fucking capitalism.

Thank you! I get so tired of the generational generalizations. And you're right, it's getting more difficult for working people of all ages to navigate this late stage capitalism shit show.

Pushes glasses up nose: Uh, late stage capitalism, to be clear.

Please. As if this isn't the goal for capitalists. It's their wet dream.
