I don't think we really disagree here; in that- the cracks were obvious and there were problems, but we hadn't realized we were at boiling point yet.
That was around when I entered the workforce as well, and entry level jobs were both largely fucked after the recession (never really recovered) and we had too many immigrants.
The differences Id identify would be in the early 2000s and 90s, your aspirations might be actual middle class lifestyles, and post 2008/9- maybe 2019, the standard dropped to a strained lower-middle class lifestyle, to millennials just getting by with McJobs or even the neet phenomenon.
We don't even have that now. The 9 million Indians eliminated even that.
For those who were successful or semi-successful before 2019, they may be doing 'okayish'
for those who wern't, theyre even more fucked,
and now zoomers are even more fucked basically- because the ladder was kicked even further out from under them.
The poverty levels if properly counted today would be absurd. We would have as high as 18% in abject poverty.
I went into a first choice hair cutters for a trim and the woman who did my hair told me she was homeless. I'm not kidding about that.
