July 2015 to Sept, 2017. Resumed again October, 2019. 

You don't hear much about the affordability crisis on LinkedIn. Or even much about the tighter labor market. You'd think a professional platform would talk about the ground reality? But the reality that our young workers face doesn't sell Ads or promote the PR of BigTech companies. 

A platform that isn't in touch with GenZ. Meanwhile in reality, the unemployment rate for Americans between 20 and 24 just hit a ten-year high (excluding the pandemic). (see infographic below). 

Capitalism “isn’t working for young people,” the venture capitalist Peter Thiel told The Free Press this last week according to an Op-Ed by Derek Thompson. 

Scott Galloway seems to see himself as the spokesperson for this generation. He says he "believes young Americans are fed up with a country they’re raised to love but that doesn’t love them back." How true but how tragic? As an older generation holds on to power they are damaging the future, and it's not just a brutal labor market, the environment or national debt they are leaving the next generation. 

"Our spending priorities (entitlements), tax policies (capital gains and mortgage interest deductions), and fiscal priorities (bail-outs of incumbents) are the greatest transfer of wealth from young to old in history."

So why are Derek Thompson and Scott Galloway writing about this topic so much? Because demographics matters to how the future turns out. Are young people screwed in a world of AI, automation, workslop, inflation and wages that don't keep up with the cost of living? Where the average home buyer now skews 40 and the average young person plans on not getting married?

The unemployment rate among 16- to 24-year-olds is 10.5% — the highest since the pandemic and, excluding that period, the highest since 2016. Zoomers (GenZ) report feeling more lonely, depressed, and anxious, and less successful, than other generations. Why aren't we talking about this?

We are raising young people to follow the K-shaped recovery down, down in opportunity. Down in the ability to thrive and maybe even to survive. Immigration is down and wealth inequality is rising, what could possibly go wrong? There's a hiring freeze and we are telling young people AI will take their jobs if they aren't "AI literate" (whatever that means). 

The average age of first-time buyers just hit 40, an all-series record, according to the National Association of REALTORS. Toxic politics and ideology has driven a gender divide among U.S. youth in many parts of the country. Young men seem to be adapting worse, many falling between the cracks. 

Americans expect the labor situation to get even worse. A lot of young people feel powerless in a world that is leaving them and their future behind. While Tech Oligarchs and Tycoons talk business as usual and the transformative power of AI. Ask a young person if this is remotely true. I find more wisdom about the future on 5 min of TikTok, than a week on LinkedIn. We need to become more honest with what's going on.
