Gen Z will actually cannibalise you if you step foot on that factory floor, Mark.
Shh! Don't tell him that 🍴😈
"officer I was just trying to make an omelette"
Imagine being stupid enough to think you can generalize that broadly and extremely about whole generations.
Yeah, they'll be singing a different tune when they've worked 60 hour weeks and the only one who has any money is their boss.
Also, most factories are fucking clean rooms these days Mark, you're not gonna be able to pop a zyn. It's called fucking quality control Mark.
Popping a zyn in the clean room is a good way to get fired
They yearn for the mines bro, trust me. I've never seen anything like it.
Bullshit. I have to chase employers down asking if they’re hiring and they all scream “no!”
If you think we’re such great workers, why do all of you act so fucking picky and only want the best of the best! If all us workers are qualified, just hire us all!
But you’re right about one thing. You’re much lazier than me. I held up my end of the bargain in getting skills and what meager experience I could, it’s you lazy porks who sat on your ass and refused to give me an adult job because of your own pickiness. For people who love social conservatism, they sure love shirking their end of the bargain.
Okay I have to give him credit for "morose theater kid vibes" but the rest of this seems like the ravings of a lunatic. There is no way there's a relevant number of gen z'ers who know who Alex Karp is, much less idolize his pasty bloodsucking ass.
“But they care about the country” lol okay bro those military recruitment numbers look great
So out of Covid, an apocalypse out of many we will experience, came the meme stocks craze which then became part of culture and is now being touted as a new paradigm of load-bearing cultural acceptance of a new capitalist order. "Bullish" means nothing outside of the context of meme stocks. Yes it's a term used in finance that predates 2020, but that's not how it's being used or how Gen Z relates to the term. It's that they've grown up in this meme stock internet culture where everyone is into crypto, NFTs, gambling, and other scams. To be bullish is to put your money into these things, knowing you will likely lose it, but gain internet fame and clout for proceeding anyways. It's being cynically optimistic in the face of almost certain loss. A guy in the 80s saying he was bullish on a stock meant that the thought it would increase in value over time. A 20 year old being bullish on RoganCoin in 2026 is a very different thing and has little to do with actual financials.
If I were a little smarter there are definitely some dialectical things happening here between structural failures, punctuated equilibrium and cultural changes that end up forming a new structural base.
