The Monash Centre for Youth Policy and Education Practice has tracked more than 2,700 Australians aged 18 to 24 since 2021, examining their experiences across work, education, housing, wellbeing, relationships and civic participation.
Its latest report describes young Australians as living through a “polycrisis” of overlapping economic, social, environmental and political pressures that compound one another.
I literally got chewed out by a 74 year old boomer the other day, because he was claiming how smart he was to buy a triplex back in the late 1960s rather than a “big single home,” like all his friends. He now has a passive income of around $8,200 per month, and got completely incensed when I congratulated him on his luck. He didn’t want to hear about the multiple people I know that are his age, tried the same exact plan, and are destitute because they didn’t get lucky.
Fuck the boomer assholes that made this shit global, and perpetuate their “horse and sparrow economics,” delusions to today, 150 years after that shit was proven wrong.
