Nikki Haley’s son urges GOP to step in as Gen Z reaches breaking point on jobs, housing

Nikki Haley's son slams Republican leaders as a 'glorified nursing home' over Gen Z's economic struggles, including record unemployment and a housing affordability crisis.

tl;dr There are NO jobs to be had for college grads, none of his friends who went to an Ivy have jobs, Trump needs to fix this!

The real problem is one of expectations and location. Their mommy and daddy paid for them to go to Harvard, and they think they can grab their diploma and immediately land a white collar job paying $150k in Boston. Oh, and buy a 3BR house. In Boston. Or NYC.

The world doesn't need more lawyers and journos and hedge fund managers and IT consultants. It needs plumbers and electricians and construction workers and truckers, but the children of entitlement don't want those jobs. Most people I personally know, their kid bought a home before age 30 including my own kid.

Haley's kid has a few good points, but mostly he's just getting attention and grooming for his political career.

Nobody mentions the fancy cars they drive, the $1-2K computers in their hands, the stylish wardrobes they bounce around in (and you know they weren't bought second hand), the daily $9 cups of brown concoctions that are mostly sugar and cream, or the takeout food they consume at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Also getting a fancy degree and doing the "right things" guarantees NOTHING. You must be willing to actually work - not just show up for a paycheck. When I was listening to this child, I was waiting for him to say "boomers" and I wasn't disappointed.

FACT: the best thrift shops are near high dollar schools. Parents buy their kids expensive clothes and accessories, the kid sells them to thrift for beer and dope money.

is General Z a DEI Chinese military guy Biden appointed? We are going to Hades in a wicker container.... My stars!!!

I was laid off by Meta as a 'low-performer.' I feel it's part of the reason I still can't find a job, 9 months later.​

Probably bought with the original tags on them. Good thrift stores by fancy neighborhoods.

Another factor that the younger crowd face - they expect to start out where their parents are now. Lots of complaints about the average age of the buyer these days, but I haven't heard about how big the houses are. Our first house was 484 sq ft - the size of a two car garage. It had two bedrooms, one bathroom, kitchen, living room, and a porch. It is probably about the size of closets of some of the nepo kids.

My ex used to shop at the big thrift stores in Camp Springs..one was quite large. Bought my dress suits there....all high-end brand names.

To clarify - the nation still needs teachers, nurses, IT security staff - there's a dire need for degreed professionals in certain areas. In some it's SO BAD that even Trump openly admits - we need to import these guys because our schools aren't churning them out. We just don't have them.

We do have a nation that DOESN'T NEED AT ALL some of the most ridiculous majors you've ever heard of - pretty sure I can find them on the Internet but when you hear them, you think "damn - and I thought gender studies was useless". I frankly cannot conceive how a career path was ever mapped for morons who spend hundreds of thousands for these useless degrees. I can only guess that somewhere, some con artist made the case for them.

Yes, we need people in trades. Yes we need truck drivers and plumbers and diesel mechanics. But the demand for them is not endless. Some of the hard science folks, we've had to import them for DECADES because we can't seem to make enough of them and the need has not abated.

I don't know how college works for every family, but you'd think parents wouldn't be willing to pay for that or even kick in. And you'd think if the kid has been saving for college they wouldn't want to spend their own money on a bullshit dead end degree. That sht's expensive, so who's paying for it? Apparently they get loans, because they all whine about debt, but one would think lenders wouldn't want the risk of a kid with a worthless degree that they can't pay for.

I'm sure there's some rigamarole that I don't understand. I'm a straightforward person and don't get involved in schemes, so I'd be completely unaware of what lenders get out of financing a basket weaving degree for a kid who doesn't go to class anyway, then graduates with debt they can't possibly pay back.

This strategy worked for Chelsea Clinton. I think her first gig right out of college paid $600K.

Makes you wonder what they got from Bill and Hillary for that 600 K.

What major one picks is vitally important too. Include in that decision AI which will shortly make plenty of white collar jobs disappear.

One thing I’m thankful for is my nephews have recognized the value of blue collar work.
