This isn't the struggle Olympics.
Olympics? You're the top of the top on the planet in wealth. Your smartphone feeds a family for a month in most of earth. Stop complaining!
What do you want me to do then, I petitiony representatives and try to get involved. I work two jobs, have a mountain of debt, and severe depression and anxiety. If I don't complain I might just end up killing myself dealing with stress. Me complaining about having to struggle this hard in a first world country is valid.
You can complain about individual problems where we can discuss solutions, no problem. But this whole "4 crises" trend that has been going on for like a month is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. It's not constructive, and very stupid, because if we're gonna talk macro economics, the majority of westerners live a lavish lifestyle compared to others in the world. However, that doesn't mean there aren't individual people who have problems, like yourself. So, talk about your individual problem (student loans, dating market, crunches in jobs, work/life balance, etc), and don't complain about the macro situation. it doesn't make any sense.
Person, this is a post in memes.
