See, that's why they just mention under 30s, because it's far worse for the rest of us.
I remember a post where people were asking millennials what their retirement plans were.
Vast majority of it was either suicide or hoping work would let them clock out before they dropped dead.
I am in my mid 20s and Gen Z. Most under 30s are Gen Z now.
Yes, I know, thats why in my made up quote I talked about millennials.
We've been suffering for a hell of a long time. A lot of us were young children when we watched the planes slam into the world trade center on the morning news before going to school and acting like we didn't see the most horrific thing in the world.
Right after Columbine of course. And can't forget about the Oklahoma bombing. It's... Been rough
At least the 90s were somewhat stable I guess? I was only two when 9/11 happened but I remember Hurricane Katrina and the Recession vividly. America has always been one disaster away from ruining your life. Lately tornados have been happening all around me and there ain’t a damn thing I can do about it.
Not sure where you are, but I grew up in tornado alley. After a while, you just get used to it.
Like, I distinctly remember being in a car dealership (think massive plate glass walls) when a tornado siren went off, and most of the sales drones were basically nose on the glass looking out at the green sky. I was very amused when the manager walked out and gave the professional equivalent of 'dudes, what the actual fuck are you doing?'
It's one of those things you learned the danger of. If it was raining hard, you didn't fuck around.
The siren always goes off once the rotation is detected by radar. You got a little bit of time to dick around because unless it's EF3 or above it's unlikely to start damage that quickly.
Plus if it's an EF3, you'll find out pretty quick. EF4s you're gonna need luck on your side and EF5s? Well. Just hope it isn't an EF5.
