Dude'z! ...I just had an epiphany!
With all this attention being paid to Gen-X now, it go me thinking, "how does a generation of people go unnoticed?"
Is it because gen-x doesn't hype itself?
...partially. I think the reason that my generation is off-the-books, may be because we had shitty economic-lives. The fact that we didn't write a lot of articles about being broke, was exploited (taken as permission), by the money-machine as a cue-to-silence about the real state of the economy.
The fact is, when gen-x went to work, is when the boomers and silent generation decided to do a slow-siphon of all the money.
1) We were the beta-test group for jacking up college-tuition, so bank-loans would be needed, to get an education that our parents were telling us was needed in a "competitive-ecomomy", but in reality-
2) -The boomers (i say boomers cause they call the shots, but grown-up frat-bros of all ages were doing the dirty work) were prepping us with their "competitive-economy"-psyops to also beta-test if American-workers could be driven as hard, and paid as much as the Chinese, who they were considering as replacements for us.
They jacked-up manufacturing production, then:
- put us on 12-hr workdays.
-laid us off.
-and rehired us through temp-companies so they wouldn't have to pay us benefits.
In the end, they got fat off our desperation, then kicked us out into an economy with nobody paying anything-
3)-Except to the Millennials. Who they trained in high-schools to become code-writers, constructing their new "Digital-economy".
Meanwhile, we are jumping from job to job, as the brick-and-mortar companies are falling like dominoes under our feet.
4) They tried to turn us against the Millennials, so everyone would be (further)-distracted from the economy by (more) bullshit. It didn't work, because we had more important shit to think about, like-
5) The housing-bubble bursting, leaving gen-x homebuyers (who often needed to take in boarders to help pay the mortgage-costs we couldn't afford because of the aforementioned student-loans, and chronic unemployment/underemployment.
The boomers got double-paid on that one! And the money kept rolling-in because, now-
6) -we were living in apartments, and rented homes, whose prices got jacked-up by Millennials moving to the "more-affordable, cooler/less full of fascists" cities.
Note: We were beta-tested on Seattle, so you guys could be maneuvered to move to Austin, Portland, Atlanta, etc., which-
7) -are a few of the cities that boomers have used venture-capital-investment-companies to buy up apartment-buildings and homes to be re-purposed for rental. These cheaper(-than-NYC/LA/San Francisco, etc)-cities, now new-homes to the Tech-giants, attract the millennial-techies, who gentrify, and Gen-z, gig-economy-working
social/intellectual-refugees, who share space in rental-properties, whose prices are are now exponentially-rising, because that's how the boomers (and their psychooathic-sicophants) planned it!
And guess what? When the housing-bubbles burst again, this time the Millennials will be under-water, and the fucking boomers will probably still get a double-payout, as the FED will probably deem their investments to be "too-big to fail"!
... just like they did in 2008.
So, now that I've established that gen-x and gen-z are family, I hope you guys can spread this knowledge, like you do.
That would be cool.
