I thought this was one of those AI-generated clickbaits, but it's a quality media brand clickbait instead.

The generational problem with Gen X is that America turned into an Asian striver culture while they were in their late 20s and 30s, when it was too late for them to Asian-ify their resumes and educational histories.

It seemed like the vibe pre-ITE was that a Normal Bro could just be Normal and not fall into peril. Like the long tail of institutional boomerism. There were people on the internet who argued that your major in college “doesn’t matter,” in earnest. I can’t even imagine that world now. Now it seems like you’re shut out of society if you don’t ace OCI.

huh, i look out my window and see a lawn that could be mowed, an apartment complex that could be tidied up, and a taco truck that could use some competition

work is easy to find unless you don't want to work

With the way they aren't generally price competitive with sit down establishments, they'd better be

Proof that, even though I'm part of the inaugural millennial group, my soul is forever with genX. My non-faggy upbringing is also a million times closer to genX than later millennial cohorts

not as lazy at entitled millenials who want to blog their daily life for a living, and travel the world defiling landmarks and disrespecting cultures for clicks. the concept of a 9-5 job, sitting in an office, having a 'manager' manage you does not register with them, its not real and its not a good work-life balance, like, ok?

"having managers manage them" is exactly the mentality that underscores genX loserdom. Even though my soul was with genX, I backed into the c suite before 40

But now I'm looking at a non c level gig that is largely autonomous and auto pilot level of difficulty for me. So maybe my squishy gen allocation properties is letting loserdom catch up and grab me

In other words despite historically low unemployment, 75% of the people who've lost their jobs were able to find suitable replacement employment.

So not “despite.” You aren’t spiting anything. You’re just saying “economy is good atm.”
