You forgot "lead-addled"
Some of them could use more lead imo.
Lead-deposed
Three generations of spoiled narcissists coasting on what the Greatest and Lost built.
Can we take a break from daily historic events a little bit?
So now we're on to "decades where centuries happen." :/
This isn't the first time in the last century we've had a big economic crash and a wave of anti-immigrant sentiment cresting into a paramilitary response. Hoover's Great Depression and the OG Immigration Quotas system, Eisenhower and Operation Wetback along with the Recessions of '53 and '58, Nixon's Stagflation and border closure with Mexico, Reagan's S&L crash and closing the border with Mexico, Bush Jr's Great Recession and border crisis...
Pretty much every Republican Presidency delivers two things.
Sorry, you are cursed to live in interesting times.
If only these times were actually interesting and not just a pile of stupid bullshit.
Best I can do is a once in a centuries empire collapse.
Remember the 80s recession? GenX remembers.
Millenials born in late 80s or early 90s may not remember but it could still have affected their childhood.

4th "once in a lifetime" crash, SO FAR...

Like two three years ago when they told us there might be a nuclear escalation.
Millennials: eh shrug maybe not
You should expect about one recession every 5-10 years.
They are all "once in a lifetime" in their own way if you want to sell news headlines.
The covid one is really the only one that really stands out as being a unique naturally caused crash, but what makes it most unique isn't the market stuff at all.
This one has been just waiting to happen for a while, but this one being intentionally caused is fairly unique, I guess.
The size of the dotcom + great recession combined is fairly unique, making immediately before the dotcom bust one of the worst times you could have retired in the US since at least the great depression. But that doesn't affect millennials directly and it's the affect of two back to make crashes.
Yeah, the Trump Recession (we hope not a full-blown depression) will have been uniquely caused as well. Definitely one for the history books.
Meanwhile, genx:
Yeah kinda. We've gone through everything that the Millennials have plus some.

When I was a teen, I said life was too boring and maybe someone should start a war or something to spice things up.
Fast-forward to:
-
russian invasion of Ukraine
-
Hamas-led Attack on Israeli Civillians and subsequent Israel-led Genocide in Gaza
-
Coup Attempt in South Korea
-
Transition to fascism in the USA
-
Trade wars against the entire world
I DID NOT MEAN THIS 💀
Throw gen z in there. We start at 1997
Pretty early to use "surviving" as a verb.
I’m gonna get fired for being room temperature one day.
We are in the "hard times create hard men" part of the cycle.
Hard non-binary persons, mind you!
And if they wear furry suits it’s because they’re harder! Wait…
