there are three generations since the boomers, they are not all children and the boomer monopoly has not existed since the 90s. Grow up. Gen X did get fucked over by the boomers, there just was not enough of them to do anything, millennials and Zoomers have no excuse there.

Reality is, gen X gave up because there was no point, millennials and zoomers don't really care, just want people to think they care, We will not have actual leaders until the next generation grows up.

Yes. And if you're not familiar with construction, we get hit 7-8 months after the worst has come for everyone else. I'm currently setting up a plan B, as shit could hit the fan within the next year for me.
I was lucky enough to be with a company that had 2 hospital contracts during the lockdown, so I was able to keep busy because the hospital needed us to hurry to have a place to put patients. However, after those two projects were completed, there has been a trickle of work. Half our workforce has been laid off, and those who are still on are struggling to get 40 hour weeks. Luckily we have some T&M contracts we don't mind taking advantage of. That being said, I haven't had a 40 hour week in months. All major contracts got postponed indefinitely, and while sidework is booming (everybody wants their house worked on or a new deck) the Mexicans undercut labor costs like nobody's business.
I'm in the capital city of a midwest town. So I can't imagine how smaller areas are handling it.
How are the projects in your area?

The people working in universities are overwhelmingly boomers first of all. Second, they are the ones pushing people into garbage programs for obscene amounts of money. The irony is that you’re telling me to grow up while you’re advocating that people stay in school until they’re 29 years old which is fucking retarded. We don’t need to wait until they’re 25. We just need to stop dangling sweets in front of the faces of children and then telling them it’s their fucking problem when they’re nice and fat. Not wait until they’re 25 to feed them ffs.

The number of people who go and get degrees and end up working jobs that require degrees just keeps going up. Huge number of them would just never go to college if they waited a few years and would be free of that debt/the tax payer would be free of that bill.

>People need to grow up before they decide what they are going to do with their lives, not after.
Your flawed thinking is that they need to decide what they are going to do with their lives in college. They need an education and skills. The degree doesn’t matter. There’s no benefit to putting it off until 25 besides hoping that they’ll pick a better major, which as someone who actually works in the higher education system I can promise you they won’t. Even if they did it would significantly devalue that major. The solution is to stop luring kids into basket weaving with a $60k price rag not to wait until they’re 25 to lure them. That’s a waste of time and economic productivity that they could’ve spent in high skill education/employment .

I literally do nothing but occasional semi-tasks for boomers (I mean actual REAL baby boomers) who are too lazy and retarded to scan a few pages from a book, update their computer or manage their personnel. They sit safe and cozy in their bubble and I hate myself for being part of this, but I'm taking the advantage and use the time to finish my retarded PhD thesis + the book script I'm working on.

If I learned anything, it's better to make less money and do something you enjoy. There is NOTHING better in life than making a living with something you actually love. If you are passionate, you can create your own business like garden planning and maintenance or some shit. You'll have your own employees and get to develop something your children can inherit and run into the ground before your dying eyes.
