This Walmart worker’s epic rant is proof that Gen Z is starting to get it

Someone is finally starting to see the truth of it all 👇

I cannot stand how the news has been dogging Gen Z and calling them lazy for not wanting to work 9-5 for the rest of their lives. Let me put it in perspective for everyone who's a little confused here, all right?

I work five days out of the week, 40 hours a week. I do not make enough to live on my own. I would not make enough to pay rent, water, electric, and eat, all by myself. I would not be capable of doing that.

Twenty years ago, when you were getting started, you could live on your own. Twenty years ago when you first started, you were able to do everything that I am now struggling to do.

Let me add another perspective here. You've been working for 20 years. You have 20 years of working experiencing behind your belt. You have 20 years of experience in a career that has allowed you to gain raises, to get more money, to profit you in an economy that you created. You can sit here and call Gen Z lazy all you want, but I have been working my tail-end off just to barely make it by, and respectfully I don't want to do that for the rest of my life. I don't want to work my tail-end off, wasting all of my life working, just to barely be able to pay my bills.

And that is what you created. Not Gen Z. We're just here getting started. You've been doing it for the last 20 years. You tell me how it got ruined. We can sit here and we can call Gen Z lazy all you want. But you let the economy turn into what it did. You let it all run to hell. And now it's Gen Z's fault because we don't want to work to fix your mistakes.

YOW!

No lies detected. She gets it. A few decades ago someone busting their back at 40 hours a week could expect to see good returns. Now in many markets it's hardly enough to make rent.

The problem is bad ... and has been for years:

It affects everything from food to housing:

For the Gen Zers that are starting to figure this out, let me introduce you to someone who may be sorta kinda part of the problem:

Remember to vote in November, kids!
