Nearly one-third, or 31%, of Gen Z are living with their parents because they can't afford to buy or rent their own space, according to a recent report.

Fuckingcapitalists
Along with Fuckingfascists and Genocidejoe, Fuckingcapitalists seems to be quite the catchphrase for you.
While fascism is (nauseatingly) on the rise seemingly everywhere, and capitalism is fucking most of us over, I'm not quite sure if the genocide thing refers to the US support of Israel, or something else.
Either way, is this single-word rampage really accomplishing anything? Those three words are almost exclusively (or at least to a high degree) what you post in any given comment.
At the very least, could you not save a pre-formatted linked snippet for each word that you could link to an article or blog post giving your position some context, maybe inform some people who don't have all the facts?
Yes, fascism and fascists suck. Yes, rabid capitalism and capitalists suck. Yes, genocide sucks, and Biden, while light-years better than the orange fucktard, and every single republican enabler asshat, also sucks.
I'm just not sure that you're living up to your full potential with these low-effort comments.
It's goddamnedfascists.
I prefer to be terse and pointed when most people seem to like to hear the sound of their own keyboards.
Everyone's potential is squandered in a world run by fuckingcapitalists and goddamnedfascists whether I post more or not.
I know quite a few people in this situation, but mainly the demographic where I live.. but most people still living at home just don’t want to work, and living at home is their gateway to this lifestyle… up all night gaming or watching movies, aspiring streamers..
I think most of them will grow out of it as money is a great motivator to getting out there, but there parents also seem to feel powerless to get them moving, or actually prefer them living there
I call bullshit. Read Hunter Thompson's 'Hell's Angels.' There's a chapter where he runs down the economics of being a biker/hippie/artist circa 1970. An Angel could cut their hair and get a Union job as a stevedore and earn enough in six months to spend the next two years on the road. A part time waitress could earn enough to support herself and her musician boyfriend.
In 1960, minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the cost of the average house was $11,000.00 If wages had kept up with inflation, the minimum wage would be about $35.00/hour.
Also, in 1960, $1 million was considered a vast fortune. Now it's what a rich guy pays for a party.
