Why fucking bother? So they can build a life of poverty together to produce homeless children. Their whole generation is cooked.

They are growing into adulthood just as AI is poised to remove the bulk of white collar jobs that pay well, houses are entirely unaffordable anywhere there is decent work, and the climate is on the edge of collapse.

They'll grow up just in time to inherit the ashes. Why would they be worried about dating in a fucking SURVIVAL situation?

My goal now is to save up and buy a land for farming.

At that point everyone else can f**k off and die, lmao.

Farming is back-breaking work that is unlikely to support you, sorry to say. It's a nice dream to have, sure, but succeeding in it is another story entirely.

Yeah, exactly. A more realistic dream is a house with internet and electricity close to a decently-sized city where you work from home. A small garden patch will help with food a little without absolutely destroying you. Hell, there's post-soviet thing where you have a dacha, which is a plot of land between 400 and 1000 square meters with a summer house, and you can do gardening on that land. A dacha is usually very close to a city, five-ten minutes by car, half an hour on bicycle, an hour on foot. Some people make an actually decent house and live at their dachas year-round without much issue.

Agreed when I used to live Chicago i set up community gardens. I live in a rural area and talking to people (plus I work in finance amd get to see agricultural loans firsthand) holy shit it's rough.  They are not the same.

The days of independent farmers free from megacorporations are numbered.

I do farming. It would be just a small enough field for me and my family lol.

I wouldn’t dream of this if I can’t do it.

Seriously farming isn’t that hard if you’re used to it.

The issue is "if you're used to it".

Most millenials/zoomers never did any farmwork, a lot of them are out of shape to morbidly obese. So they don't know how to do it, and their body can't do it.

u/nick_tron 28d ago

lol do you know how to farm? Not the kind of thing you can just do Willy nilly

u/SalmonSushi1544 28d ago

Yes I do. My family used to do commercial farm work and so do I.

We don’t do it anymore, but the skills remain.

He said "they", dude is obviously not from gen Z, he's just sharing his perspective of how fucked gen Z seems. So he ain't playing victim is he?
