I was gonna say, most of Gen X has had roommates since we graduated college.

The headlines just keep repeating. Insert newest generation and print

It's getting measurably worse at a fairly predictable clip - boomers had it easy, x/y less so, it's dark for milennials, and impossible for zoomers/alpha.

The guardrails were removed and wheels set in motion by the boomers so they could more effectively ransack the economy - everything since then has been a consolidation of wealth and power at the direct expense of workers.

It is actually worse each time, though. In previous times, it was "oh lordy, prices are going up, shucky darn, guess I will only have 2 pieces of avocado toast each day from now on". Now people just can't even get by.
