I was born in 1998 and have voted trump twice and will do it again this year. I want my 2 dollar gas back and cheap groceries
In my state it was $1.80 for the cheapest gas. T_T
Came out of high school in 2017, and it was great all the way until like 2021. I just want it to go back to normal @bobbob-vw4cc
Most dont put the two together though. Im telling you, the "daily show" and those clones that came from it FOREVER seared into this country that only the D party is good.
Those are unlikely to ever return, but the gaping wound in our economy can likely be stitched. I believe Trump is the only answer.
1.15 was the cheapest my gas got.
As a Republican I believe in reparations now: if you voted Biden you owe me gas money
I can get behind this 😂
War with Russia has a hand to play in that
I need to be able to like this comment continuously! Legitimate reparations at that because we are currently living thru this madness and being punished for their decision 🤷🏻♂️
@@HackersSungas was about the same price or higher before Russia
Don't forget grocery money, power bill reparations, inflation reparations...
The American dream isn't dead...it's just not for Americans anymore...absolutely shameful
"That's why they call it the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it." -George Carlin
Whenever I hear a young person complain today about inflation or their struggle I simply ask them, "Who'd you vote for in 2016 and 2020?"
Also, the new American dream is going to be 5 people to an apartment to split the rent. You know, illegal alien style.
exactly, been several stories of illegals getting 10k a month, I am a retired vet and I dont even get half of that.....
It died in 1913 it died in 1964 it died when the 19th amendment was signed. It died when birth control was created. It's rotting.
Free money. Free food, free housing. Free medical. Free education, you name it, the gov will give it free to these immigrants
They already are.
Will? Geez, conservatives are so slow that it hurts. And they're criminal aliens, not "immigrants". That's an insult to those who came here legally like my family did.
ILLEGALS, not immigrants.
Quit calling them immigrants. That's an insult to actual immigrants. They're illegal aliens-period!
No man it illegals not immigrants.
Weird, KJP says we are living in the greatest economy of all time
Ey the economy strong as f**k 😂😂
My relatives: "the gdp is doing good! If you think its bad now, it will be WAY worse if Trump gets in!"
@strategery101 I guess we don't have four years of Trump to compare lol
I have retarded relatives too, so I know how it is.
Probably for the super rich who earn more money than they know what to do with and currently riding the highs of the stock market.
Most people aren't a part of the "we" she mentioned.
As a millennial who has more than doubled my income in the last 10 years, I am making less money now than I was 10 years ago
Yep. This is not in USA but UK atm too. Pre-CV19 was making 3 times more than making today. Contracting disappeared which was the only way to get some good money. Salaries are the same right now as they were in 2010. 14 years ago but with everything at 1/2 to 1/5th the price. Let alone property/council taxes which went up 400% requiring 3 salaries per year, but 5 years ago they were 1/3 of a month salary.
I haven't had a significant pay raise in over 4 years. I'm making so much less compared to what I made before.
Same here
I hadn't looked it up in a while... my first job out of college paid me $72k in 2016... according to the BLS, the equivalent buying power, today, is $95k. SMH.
Yup. A dollar today is worth about what $.60 was just a couple years ago. Shit, the price of eggs is STILL like 4x what it was 5 years ago.
Maybe the 40 million illegal immigrants wasn’t such a good idea
Raise your daughters to be conservatives. They will then have the best option of the young men out there.
Very true! My daughter and granddaughters have married good conservative men with good jobs. They treat the girls with respect and dignity.
Most Conservatives don't make their naughty bits tingle...even woman prison guards get caught with inmates. Also look at all the infidelity with military couples.
I'm a millennial and I worry for my kids ability to earn a living in the future.
Personally as a 35 yr guy and a millennial I'm sort of glad I don't have any kids because they way I see it America is in socio economic, political, academic and cultural decline so I figure it's more prudent to no be too personally invested in society and besides kids cost a fortune.
They will have free bugs and a pod
@@indepthmike5578you literally just said you drank the liberal koolaid. Go have kids spread your ideals, the ones who think they’re smart will disappear if you outbreed them
Help them keep their vices to a minimum and learn marketable skills. An electrician or plumber who doesn't drink to excess or do drugs or pay for a stupid amount of baby mammas can't help but make money.
Having a kid is a flex
Many of these ppl advocated and cheered for their own demise.
But look how progressive and virtuous they are.

I live in a state where the minimum wage just recently got pushed up to 12 an hour. Suddenly, my hours dropped. And now I work less than 12 hours a week. I'm quiting as soon as I find a better job, but seeing as I've been looking for one for the past month and still haven't found anything better for the qualifications I do have, idk what I'm going to do. My anxiety has been through the roof for weeks now. The depression I can already feel starting to set it. The future looks bleak. World war 3. Civil war 2. America collapsing? I won't kms ever because of my Christian beliefs but i wouldn't care at this point if a bus crashed through my house and took me out. Oliver Anthony's "I wanna go home" truly speaks to me in many ways.
That is the result of the increase. Employers cut hours to recoup their losses for things like Workers Comp, Disability and Unemployment Insurance.
It's what always happens.
I am not sure where in the Bible they say don't kys, but I am sure it didn't say prolong your life as much as you can. So, if I believed Christianity, I would do a lot of dangerous work, like I don't know, a truck driver, a steel mill worker, etc. If I happened to die, woo-hoo, jackpot, Jesus here I come!
@@typingcat Taking yourself off the census is a sin. Can't recall where it was in the Bible. It's immaterial. As a non-Christian, I figure it's taking the easy way out. So instead, I'm going to fight like Hell to claw my way ahead, leveraging everything I can. And in the mean time do everything I legally can to be a thorn in the side of those who are doing it to me. Primarily that means jabbing at the Democrat party at every chance I get.
what kind of skills you got? look into the trades. some states have pay as you learn apprenticeships. AGC and ABC are national.
I used to make $4-5 more than minimum wage, but recently it was mandated up to $20. Price of everything went up. My wage didn't. All that happened was they made me more poor.
Welcome to Commiefornia. I tell this story to everyone I know because it's the only way they will ever have any hope of understanding.
I think people forget a billion dollars is 999 million and then another million. That’s enough to buy my house over four thousand times. We give it away like water.

Your dreams are stupid. Stay home on election day. Tell your female friends.
The people who love what they do and people who are extremely motivated. It's like 5% of the population, though.
Dream is to work 80 hours a week until you can live a better lifestyle without working 80 hours a week. Things like divorce, travel, unplanned kids, etc set that result back by years or decades. Easy solution is to pick a person and date them so you both can work 40 hours and still have the same life as working 80 but this generation considers that essentially prostitution.
Youre lucky you live in a world where you do not have to survive off of the land.
@@antimarx265 Women only experience like 10% of the world.
I think the American Dream is not having government dictate every aspect of our life. Not being forced to face the consequences of someone else's vote. If I am consistently voting against everything happening in the country, I'm obviously not being represented and should not be forced to suffer for the votes of other people.
I'm an elder millennial, my parents had one car till I was nine, no cell phones, no cable until I was 12, no streaming services. We live with to much luxury and don't even realize it.

Inflation is just getting worse. I make 35 an hour and can barely make it. We are allowing it because we stand no chance of changing it. Too many sheep

$500 in 1980 = almost 2000 in 2024. Everybody since 1980 has been voting in people that espouse bigger spending.
I have been doubting the official inflation. It seems far far off from my perception of actual prices. I just checked the Korean Won inflation calculator and it said that 100KRW in 1988 is 333KRW in 2023. But as far as I remember, snacks that cost 100KRW in 1988 now cost over 1000KRW. Bus fair for a child in 1988 was 60 or 80KRW (don't remember exactly), and it's now 550KRW. Aren't the things also like that in the US?
@@typingcat I can't recall 1980s prices very well, as I was born in 1985. What I can tell you, is that in 2000 when I first started working I was making 7.25 an hour. And when I went to a fast food restaurant to buy a burger, I paid about $7.00 to $8.00 for the food. And gas for my vehicle was around $1.00 a gallon. Now in 2024, it was $3.40 per gallon the last time I bought gas. And I just ate a small meal at a restaurant this weekend and spent $16.00 for the food. Things cost twice as much now, and I barely make twice as much. So I'm really spinning my wheels and getting nowhere fast.
@@typingcat Take the 'official' inflation numbers, double it and add a couple of % and you will be close to the actual number.
@@typingcatthe official counts ignore rent, gas, home prices, insurance, and a whole bunch of other stuff along with not taking into account how much your dollar will buy so companies shrinking sizes to avoid raising prices isn't taken into account.
23 minutes of 1% Tim defending the new normal.
If feminists can be upset about $0.77:$1.00, those same people should be mad that it is even worse between them and the Baby Boomers.
We all live in the same economy. I'm a boomer, sure I make about twice the medium household income but we're really only getting by. I'm sixty-one years old and sometimes joke to my wife that I may be able to retire in sixty years. Ironic thing is it's more likely true.
@@tommack9395 Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Baby Boomers on both sides of the aisle have pushed for things that extract wealth and opportunity from the future generations to pay for entitlements and defend their assets. The Boomercrats pushed for bailouts and migrant workers, entitlements and inflationary spending, and Republoomers have failed to stop spending on military and retirement benefits. Both have opposed increasing the supply of houses because it would devalue their own, and it is the collegiate Boomers who decided to simultaneously increase the price of a degree and give out blank check student loans that crippled a generation. The most anyone 35 can hope for is that their grandparents love them enough to leave them an inheritance, but that is also rare because of the utopian pipedream the Boomer generation chased. No other generation in the past century had ever concentrated power and wealth at the expense of the future generations. There has never been a Gen X president. Biden is even older than the Boomer generation. Society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.

@@s14sr240silvia Oh, Yes, It's terrible for young people. I tend to agree and will be the first tell you inflation on housing, education, health-care, insurance and everything else is ridiculous.
When we bought our home in 1997 we put 30% down. A loan on a thirty year mortgage by the time we finish payments - in three years - we'd had paid a little over three and a half the asking price. It's worth about four times the asking price. If I had the chance to do it over back then I would... My advice buy small and cheap pay it off, fix it up - you're going to anyway, sell it and buy the next. Thing is don't get stuck with really long term loans.
We'd put three kids through college - we supported them, we paid for it, two are married, four grandchildren. They're all working, I don't know about your parents, they still come to us for help, of course I'm okay with that.

My parents legally immigrated here. All they wanted was a fair chance and to be left alone. They never asked or expected a handout. They worked hard, saved and managed to attain the American Dream. I was born here. They never taught me how to read or write the language of their birth country. Nor did they teach me their culture either. The point was; this is our home. This country has been good to us. It is our home. I fly the Stars and Stripes on my home, believe in traditional values, what America was and could be again. I know I’m not alone, but it sure feels like it sometimes.

The American dream is to be free, live your own life, and make a better life for your children. It was opportunity.
The American dream was to start your own business and create competition within the working market without the government breathing down your neck.
it's all relative really, a persons idea of the American dream can vary from person to person for me at least the idea of a 1,100 square ft log cabin on 1 acre is just as appealing as 1 bedroom 600 square ft apartment in a semi suburban town several stories off the ground with it's own balcony.
I'm an older millennial and I'm probably the last in my line that will be able to afford a home without inheriting it. It kills me thinking my children will probably never be able to afford the lifestyle I was able to give them growing up. FJB
@schrodingersmechanic7622 my parents couldn't afford a home without my grandfather building it, and I'm in the same generation, born 85. Home is a long ways off for me.
@DrawinskyMoon what you said is why I say capitalism is dead. The individual no longer benefits. Corporations are now treated like individuals. There is little to no competition since these companies are so large they simply wreck the competition then by them out.
Hey kids,
THIS isn't the first time us "old people" have had to suffer a terrible President, it's yours. Next time you vote, remember it has consequences.
Its not the president boomer. Its a culmination of terrible economics that resulted in gutting of industry and middle class. When you had "bad presidents" you still had a factory near your house.
Unfortunately in my lifetime it's been *nothing* but bad Presidents. Between Clinton setting us up for economic collapse, Bush Jr. sealing that deal, Obama dragging the recession out as long as he could, 4 good years under Trump, and now Biden has brought back the Obama years with a raging vengeance. What the f...even is a good President? Out of the 21 years of my working adult life, only 4 have been under a healthy economy.
Quite true, but I wish we'd reduce the power of the presidency to about 10% of what it is today and people wouldn't care as much.

And all you have to do is go home, care for your kids and make sandwiches, or send your husband to do it.

Entitlement is part of the problem, being too good to do certain jobs is also part of the problem but so is inflation. It's a perfect storm really and the availability of good jobs or decent paying jobs are often absent as well.
That’s terrifying since I’m millennial, am still barely making it by, and a decade ago I was barely making over minimum wage and wasn’t making it at all.
Did Tim just say he does labor? Lmao
Someone has to wash that beanie.
A dump, flophouse motel room, $200 a week. Utilities, wifi/air conditioning/amenities all included. Bologna sandwiches, ramen and a bottle of multivitamins, was $10 a week but now probably $50. All survival needs met on a minimum wage salary. I did this for 2 years while attending trade school WITH a wife and two small children. What they complain about are luxuries.
What kind of dump city has such cheap rooms and all amenities included facilities?
There's a good chance that such a dump is already illegal depending on the level of disrepair
If it were fully working with no cockroaches or whatever then nobody that's poor would be renting apartments
@@My_Old_YT_Account I'm sorry, I don't understand. Every time I've made this argument and said "cheap motel room" some entitled individual tries to rebut the argument by saying "Best Western is $300 a week!" They set their standards too high, expect luxury. There are family owned motels, Arab family, that are much cheaper. If you cannot find one in your immediate area then you need to move to a town where you can afford to live. You are not entitled to a life of ease and comfort.
@@michaelalan6459 The only cheap motels I have ever seen have multiple infestations or are in such a state of disrepair that they should have been shut down years ago.
I live in, and have traveled around most of, Québec, Canada.
@@My_Old_YT_Account I've traveled the United States west of the Appalachians for decades and found that in these motels "pest infestations" are the least of your worries. The prostitutes/pimps, drug addicts and dealers are the real problem. That said, I do not see how any of this refutes anything I've said. There are cheap motels with weekly rates that an individual can live, relatively comfortably, on a minimum wage salary.
But gen z women still demand men making $100k a year or more on the low end
Spoiled kids!
Yep its because they work now so if a woman makes 20k a year she will expect her mate make at least 4x that. I don't know anybody making less than 80k pairing up. For kids they will want 10x more
That’s dusty broke loser energy for most modern women.
When will the voters take accountability for the choices they’ve inflicted on their communities?
My daughter is gen z and im a mellinnial. I have voted for Trump twice. She will be voting for the first time this year and she will be voting Trump. Just cuz shits getting bad for ALL of us. In our area rent is 900 for a 1 bedroom and the 2 bedroom is around 1500. The income does not equal the money that we need to live. With 2 incomes its so hard to pay our bills and not be able to afford our crap and its just me and her. Im a partner of a small business (construction contractor)and she works in Healthcare. Idk what else do these mfers want from us!!!!
I'm actually surprised I was able to buy a house in this Biden economy
Congratz! I was lucky enough to get mine with Trump in office.
We did too. But my wife and I did pretty good for ourselves during the trump years.
From what I've heard only the rich can buy a house in this economy a large percentage of people will likely be longer term renters or keep living with their parents and other relatives.
And you work for the Gov't. The only place that gives you a RAISE for FAILURE. Imagine that.🙄
@@indepthmike5578I escaped from the communist country of new York state and now live in north Carolina. Also 1st time home buyers assistance helped..
In 1960, $10 was worth $85.15 in 2018 dollars. In 1960, the minimum wage was $1.25 or about $10.64 in today's wages per hour and a person could buy 50 loaves of bread for $10.
In 1982, when I was in college, I used to collect bottles to get enough money to eat sometimes I was so poor. I knew that if I could get $3.85 together, I could go to Wendy's and get a double meal with large drink and fries, and that was a big meal. Today that same meal, only with medium drink and fries is $13.00 and some change. I don't go to Wendy's anymore.
For 85.15 (1960s $10),
you can buy 42 loaves of bread.
If the American Dream really was one of a multi-racial, multi-ethnic, multi-religious paradise in which standards of living would inevitably rise and continue to rise no matter how many came or where they came from, then it was always an absurd and impossible Dream.
Sounds like a nightmare
Moving to a small town isn't even really an option anymore. Rent prices in small towns are starting to slowly reflect the cities. I've seen many folks from cities move to small towns and have caused many local prices to skyrocket as they fight for what developed land there is, and theres not enough skilled labor to develop new land fast enough.
There is also a lack of well paying jobs in most small towns. Most people would be sacrificing quality of life even if their expenses go down, as most consumer goods and services don't vary in price from place to place. It only affects housing, utility, and food prices, if anything at all.
They are making less than they were 4 years ago.
Let's think about that. What changed around 4 years ago?
👍🏼 Exactly
@greglane3978 Democrats purposefully destroyed the economy to stop Trump from re-eleceted, then stupid people put them in charge of the nation to continue destroying everything.
Im tired of hearing people complain about how things "should be." Just because things should be different, doesnt change anything. We're all on the same treadmill and someone else is in control of the throttle.
So true! I'm from a small Arizona mining town. I graduated in 1981 & immediately went to work in our local underground copper mine making $12.10 per hour (equivalent to $38.80 per hour in 2024 USD) as a "Mucker-Miner," straight out of High School. Back then there were fewer people, cities were much smaller, we didn't have the outrageous additional monthly expenses that Americans are now paying, jobs weren't competitive for hard working smart employees & employers would pay top-dollar to steal an employee from another company. We enjoyed sharing & listening to people's stories & we actually took time to send cards & write letters that we would treasure for a lifetime. Life was so much more efficient & so much simpler back then. The www & technology have ruined the world, but A.I. will eventually lead to its destruction.
Gen z getting a wake up call
Love to see people get what they voted for.
If your neighbors are suffering, that doesn’t exactly boost your long-term living standards. People with that sort of attitude are more harmful than helpful.
You can't really say this given the shenanigans of western politics and elections. I dont think any of them are legitimate.
@@juniperjennifer
People who fail to realize that stupid people will only stop doing stupid things if they suffer consequences are the most dangerous people.
Having a family is simply not affordable.
The American dream was that you could work hard and hand down a better life to your children. Plain and simple that is the dream. And yes, that dream is gone. That young man is 100% correct
Western women are over. Passport Bros.
The American Dream is long dead, Tim. "You can rent an entire house in WV for $800" THAT'S BECAUSE THERE ARE NO JOBS IN WV!!! And NO! Commuting a $(*#ing hour and a half is not acceptable, TIM!
Facts. I would go there but there’s no opportunity and rampant drug addiction… so if you’re not a millionaire that’s just a slap in the face Tim.
Don't you love how Tim (grifter and con man) Pool, a millionaire, keeps telling you how to live your life? It's SOOOOOOO easy according to him. Just give up everything (including your kids) to do the right thing as well!! (as he keeps bending the knee for yt checks)
Start an online business/job, I guess. Or, earn money elsewhere and move to WV after retirement.
That depends on where you're moving from. In California, it's really common to commute 1-2 hours.
Why is a 90 minute commute out of the question though? If it gives you a nice place for you and your family it probably is worthwhile
Yeah, they fuck you with rent. Rent counts against your credit ,but doesn't count towards it
Yeah I'm sick of the expectation that you either work 90 hours a week till you die or at least until you're 65. Then only after you've wasted most of your life working, can you spend time doing what you want. That's some bs.
As if work stops at 65 at this poiny
fed min wage 7.25. California min wage 20.00. When are we arresting Newsom for reckless legislation?
Dont be so sure. Most STILL only hear any info from people like jon stewart, john oliver, harry sisson, taylor on and on
Where did you get this info
@@Crabicus Talking to normies and younger people. They literally dont know a single thing happening other than what those "comedy news shows" say or what lizzo or taylor say
I think that is sadly the case. I can't imagine living that way though. It sounds like a boring life. Imagine having access to a world of information through the internet and watching John Oliver for news and political commentary. D:
@@cheerfulturtlegirl It literally IS that way. And I cannot understand why. Why do they not care AT ALL to look into ANYTHING?
This is the most truthful and correct comment of the day. Sadly but Gen z will vote 98% Biden.
It's shocking the amount of people who say "work more" when people are already working 40+ hours a week.
Ok, we get it, you either like your work, or you have no passions outside of it and it distracts you, most of us hate our job and want to enjoy life away from it.
The 40 hour work week is a luxury. 60 hrs puts you ahead of the 8-ball.
The idea that people just aren't working enough is idiotic. People around here used to be able to afford an apartment with a part time job, cost of living has increased massively and people are in denial about it.
The issue is you thinking being a Starbucks barista should let you buy a 3 bedroom house.
It's a job you work when you live with roommates. When I had to 'work more' I worked nights and weekends for 2 years to set me up for the next 10 years.
Or I could have put in the minimum effort and kept going out and partying and then complaining I was still renting.
Times are tough right now. THey're extra tough for lazy people that want an upper middle class lifestyle on a high school dropout work ethic.
@@johnserosanguineous188660 hours is chump change, 100 really puts you ahead of the 12 ball
Buy less stuff/eat out less
All of this is preventable
they voted for minimum wage increase, they got what they asked for
Rising labor costs are a downstream symptom of inflation not the cause of it. You’re just allowing the asset holders to fleece the workers when you can force people to work for less than living wages and also bear the brunt of money printing.
@@gwills9337 it's been well documented that raising wages is one cause of inflation
In 2022, only 1% of people were making $500,000
You have women today asking for 6 figure wages, or above that.
Its just not possible.
Hence why 80% of women only go for the top 20% of men
Yeah, but "6 figures" starts from $100,000 doesn't it? Wasn't it a lot more than 1%?
And every woman that makes that much wants to marry a man that makes more than they do, and only a man that makes more than they do.
Ain't mathz a bitch. 🤣
@@typingcat Around 6% make 100k. I'm not sure how many of them are available bachelors, but a lot of them are older men so likely very few.
The American dream was being an entrepreneur in a free market. That's how I always saw it.
jews
@@godrilla5549 yup. the free market has no defenses against "them".
Exactly the same here in the UK. Everything is being given away to unwanted non citizens.
The issue is that basic economics aren’t taught to kids. My fellow Gen Zer’s keep voting for terrible policies because they never learned economics.
Also, every American should be on some kind of financial plan. Whether something like Rich dad/Poor dad, Dave Ramsey, etc. They don't teach you this stuff in school.
I agree
Ramsey beats rich dad poor dad every time
@@user-ww2sf3bq2p Rich Dad/Poor Dad still has value. You should be learning from every source available. I also picked up a lot from Stephan Graham.

My stepson joined the army and whenever he PCSed he would buy a new house with no down payment and would rent out the old place. When he turned 29, he owned 3 houses. He got tired of the landlord game and sold two of his houses for a massive profit. He currently has a beautiful house in a rural area and runs an army clinic. He has no college and is not an officer, he's a sargent.
Tim is close to being right. When women entered the workforce in the 70's, all the businesses realized that families now had two incomes, and raised their prices. Then, instead of women working being optional, it became a requirement.
My 70 year old uncle told me, 40 an old millennial, that he bought three homes in his 20s making 4.50 an hour. We’ve been screwed. I own my home but i am an old millennial and it was easily double the cost for me than it was for my parents. Its terrible what the government has done to the youth. Boomers hold most the wealth now.
Yup, I spend my work weekend sleeping on the floor of a dog kennel because while I pay $1,200 in rent for a small studio 13 min away, I can't get credit to pay for a 300 month car payment. Instead I have to pay 160$ in uber cost a WEEK. I'm only sleeping in my bed 11-13 days a month, which is mental to try and justify that expense. Thankfully I love my job, I cant imagine working three jobs, living out a suitcase and feeling displaced and hate my job. No wonder people are on meds. Complacency needs sedation I guess.
Yup paycheck to paycheck as a city employee and my girl is a paralegal smh
Pull yourself up by the bootstraps then 😂
Between myself and my wife we got about a 8% increase this year. Guess what else went up? Rent, daycare right on cue
yea but you got those sweet sweet city benefits at least tho right???

It's not dead but it IS currently unattainable for most young people.
22-24 year olds are AVERAGING $45,000? That's... pretty good for a 22 year old.
Thank god I bought my house 7 years ago. My mortgage is 1,300. If I were buying the same house right now, I’d be paying $3,000
The people 80million votes living on only .00001% of the country is why, my dude.
It all started in 1971.
It's not about dual oncome.
And i was complaining 10 years ago. Our kids are screwed.
There has never been a generation where stupid people didn’t get screwed…
Tim your fixation on Gen Z pisses me off. I'm a millennial, and this country has been beating us down since I was born. So I guess just screw us huh?
Once again, note what Tim does NOT cover.
Beats the same algorithmically sweet dead horses into the ground whilst ignoring collapsed bridges and PM assassination attempts.
I know man, it's bs. Us millennials have been dealing with this our whole lives.
