> Burnout's root cause is a mutually-reinforcing school/work/personal environment known as "total work

Personally, I would think the solution to this type of millennial burnout is having the economic stability and workplace protections to _not_ have to always be worrying about school and work.

Also, it’s baffling to me that this is treated like a choice everyone is making? Like, what if you need multiple incomes to afford rent, or what if you’re single???

Has this been the way households have been organized for centuries, or is this just the way a particular upper-middle class or aristocratic families have organized?

He also claimed hate speech was down, so I’m not sure he’s the most reliable source

I think the problem is that we lump all these things together as "politics." This way, it's easy to bring up the specter of "we're too partisan these days," but if you look at the individual issues, it's a lot more rational.

* If you're a woman who's pro-choice, would you want to date someone who might try and stop you from getting an abortion? * If you have LGBT friends or family, would you want to date someone who might be a jerk to them? * If you, a family member, or a friend is an immigrant, would you want to date someone who might try to deport them?

In the past, I think a lot of people didn't interact with people who weren't like them, so it was easier to put aside these differences. Being exposed to more diversity makes ignoring these things less of a possiblity.

Twitter can be hard to parse, but it's not impossible to understand. If you're having trouble understanding it, you could ask or just not comment? This feels like the equivalent of replying to an argument with "you're"

Those episodes were fantastic. It really shows how commentators latch on to the optics of the situation rather than the actual substance of what's trying to be addressed.

"We agree date rape is bad, but someone threw together a kinda-cringy powerpoint when trying to address it, so I guess we should do nothing"

You can do that and also not date people who are against LGBT rights?

These all seem like things that should be dealbreakers

I’d argue that the injustice in this situation is the lack of housing that’s causing people to squat in the first place.

These people want to sound like their just “hard men taking justice into their own hands” but they’re really just a bunch of low-level goons being hired to enforce the existing power structure (property and capital owners at the top and everyone else at the bottom)

A labor shortage = an increased demand for labor. If that labor can’t be purchased at the current market rate, then they’ll need to spend more on labor (increase wages), which in theory would come out of the salaries and benefits of the higher ups.

We’ll see if that actually happens though. Articles like this are designed to stir up fears of inflation so that they can get people on board with policies to keep wages lower.

EDIT: Saw the author’s reply higher up. It sounds like this isn’t their intent, but when the sound bite is “higher wages means more inflation”, it collectively feeds into the “be afraid of inflation” narrative that’s been building
