   @arcana it's so hard to argue with people about this. like yes it's never been worse in the usa for young people but it is suspiciously easy for people to just "give up" yet somehow not starve to death.

     @SlicerDicer @arcana people are "giving up" because they won't die if they give up. if you are young, if you can't get ahead by conventional methods, and you're not going to die in a gutter, then you are more free than I was when I was young to try doing the unconventional thing.

     @SlicerDicer @arcana anecdotes aren't data but like, one of my high school acquaintances, while I had a decent job in my 20s, he was homeless and giving head for money to stay alive. He's currently a business owner and doing better than me. I wish I had his spirit and ability to get back up after hitting rock bottom

     @SlicerDicer @arcana maybe survivor bias. I am having a hard time explaining my thought process, I am not saying things are good.
