Stories such as this are really blood-boiling – partly because of empathy for members of the younger generations who, in far too many cases, right out of the gate, have already been robbed of an opportunity at a decent life  —  and partly because the engineers of their lifelong economic hardship are still not being named, let alone being held to account. We’re all supposed to believe that this sorry state-of-affairs is just part of “the new normal” beyond anyone’s control.

Though the story tells about how the Stupid-19 lockdown will negatively impact recent graduates; the declining standard of living of 30-somethings and 20-somethings is a trend that started about 20 years ago. Year after year, even as the discontent of the failure-to-launch young and their frustrated parents grows, the normie public, unschooled in even the most basic of economic concepts, still cannot see the man who is tormenting them from behind the curtain.

The usurious International Banker (cough cough) — – hiding behind the curtain as he rakes in interest on every dollar of our own money supply — created “the new normal” but never gets exposed because the Slimes protects him.

Feigning empathy, the article describes a few sad cases:

Matthew Henderson graduated from Loyola University and interned as a trade policy analyst. Now, he lives at home with his family in Indiana, unemployed and considering jobs at Costco and Target to help pay off $24,000 in student loans. “I’m in this bubble of anxiety,” said Matthew, 21. “I have to pay these, but I have no money to pay them.”

Jordan Haggard, 33, graduated from Oklahoma State University in 2009. During “The Great Recession,” she applied for a job at McDonald’s. Today, she works as an office manager for a small publishing company in Seattle. Though she has kept her job during Stupid-19, Jordan remains pessimistic about her future:

“I know I will never be able to afford a home in Seattle or even live by myself without a roommate or two. Life is different from the one I was told about or imagined.”

And on and on the tales of anxiety and despair go. Certainly, many of youse readers will know of many other such cases of single, childless, low wage millennials and “Gen Z” young people — both with college degrees and without — shackled by debt, confined by low wages and priced out of the housing market. For so many millions of them, the “American Dream” – to quote the late comedian, George Carlin – is called a “dream” because it requires one to “have to be asleep, to believe it.”

The teary-eyed Slimes scribblers — and the Marxist Left in general — always do a very good job at solemnly describing the despair. However, like always, they refuse to finger the true culprit. That’s because “the paper of record” is the official propaganda mouthpiece of the monetary and political overlords who have buried society in so much unpayable debt (both public & private) — as they have weighed us down with back-breaking taxation — as they have outsourced so much of our manufacturing base — as  they have enabled criminal cartels in medicine and education to flourish — as they have so debased the value of our debt-currency via the “printing press.” Macroeconomics is not “rocket science” — but until more people come to understand these destructive dynamics, expect more and more desperate young people to turn leftward, by design!

Thomas Jefferson — the author of the 1776 Declaration of Independence which we supposedly honor every 4th of July (this year, 6-feet apart and in masks, no doubt) — in an 1816 letter to a fellow Virginian named Samuel Kerceval, referencing the conditions already observable in England at that time, warned of this day.

Jefferson:

“To preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes; have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers. …. This is the tendency of all human governments. a departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a 2d that 2d for a 3d and so on, till the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering.”

Tell it, Mr. President. Tell it!

In a subsequent letter to Kerceval, Jefferson adds:

“George III. in execution of the trust confided to him, has, within his own day, loaded the inhabitants of Great Britain with debts equal to the whole fee-simple value of their island, and under pretext of governing it, has alienated it’s whole soil to creditors (Rothschild) who could lend money to be lavished on priests, pensions, plunder & perpetual war. This would not have been so, had the people retained organized means of acting on their agents. In this example then let us read a lesson for ourselves, and not ‘go, and do so likewise.”

Such clear, concise, simple, normie-friendly economic pearls of wisdom, from one of the key founders of the United States, have been concealed from us when they should have been taught in elementary school. And that line about “hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers” is especially poignant, for it perfectly describes IRS employees, Homeland Security agents, federal regulators, TSA agents and very soon, the armies of $18.00-an-hour “contact tracers” who will be hunting down our fellow Americans who may have been “exposed” to Stupid-19. For many of these young “tracers,” it’s a choice between serving the beast system – or going hungry.

May God forgive us for what we have allowed the PRC (Predatory Ruling Class) to do to our young people.
