A third of young adults between the ages of 25 and 35 – 25.2 million people – were living with their parents in 2025. Of those, 70% had jobs, and many held college degrees, highlighting that the increase in at-home living stems from high housing costs rather than labor market conditions.

It's almost like the intentional wage stagnation to maximize shareholder value is a primary root cause of basically everything being fucked up over the last 50+ years.

It's a symptom of the fact that US manufacturing has declined so hard over the past 70 years. One of our biggest exports is petrol products. As governments across the world race to implement renewable infrastructure, that industry will decline as well. Instead of extracting value out of tangible goods, the investor class has had to move to extracting wealth from predatory bullshit and the necessities required for life. This is on top of the wage stagnation and oppression of labor. The US is cooked.
