Let’s get sober for a moment here; the generations that inhabit the “growing up” portions of the human race right now have a pretty rough shake of things ahead. Rent continues to go to the moon while wages stay at terrestrial levels, you have to pay a premium for nutritious groceries these days, and at this rate, it seems like a matter of time before the winners of the working class are decided by the daily King Of The Hill matches that take place on the charter bus bound for one of the millions of Amazon factories, each of which can only afford to pay so many workers each day.
