As a millennial (in the middle) I legit assumed this was referring to me
Everything has been a downward slide our entire lives which means it also rolls downhill for all the future generations too until someone can yank back on the economic flightstick and get us out of this dive.

Same thing happened to the millennials... It's almost like it's planned...
Welcome to your fourth or fifth once-in-a-lifetime crisis!

Yet another game of shift the wealth

I mean things were looking up and then Trump happened
We can't lay all of the blame on trump.
The problem is conservatism in general. Every Republican president of the past 50 years has caused economic turmoil. When Republicans get power in the legislature, the only notable thing they work towards is tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy, and gutting things that help people in order to pay for it.
Trump isn't singularly the problem here, but he is so fucking stupid that he's speedrunning the economic crisis. A Republican with a halfway functional brain would know to move slowly enough that the economy falls apart as they're heading out the door, not within the first 20% of their term.
Start selling trump "I did that!" stickers of him pointing up at the eclipse. You'll start seeing them everywhere soon. Gas pumps, grocery store shelves, car dealerships, etc.

Mhmm conservatism is a blight on humanity, nothing good will ever come of it. Every single time a conservative gets in power anywhere it always makes things worse. It is a fucking parasite that most be removed or else it will be the end of you. It denies progress, why do you think we constantly have to fight for basic human rights? Why do you think they want to go back to the 1950’s so badly? They hate that they can’t be openly racist, openly homophobic and openly transphobic. They want to drive everyone into having to play up to their ideals regardless of what you want.

The US is in decline. Hastened by Republican ideology, accelerationists, and general willful stupidity and ignorance to varying degrees across the board. The “economy” revolves more and more around the stock market which only serves to enrich the already well off and wealthy while the rest of the ~90% flounder.

Recessions in the USA are just constant. Nothing personal.

Capitalism has been rotting out the interior of the industrialized world for decades. The dogged belief that Gore or Kerry or Hillary or Harris would have insulated the US (much less the rest of the world) from the same foibles and failures committed by Clinton and Obama and Biden is painfully naive. Nevermind the disastrous administrations of Trudeau and Starmer and Felipe Caldaron.
The idea that you just need a competent liberal technocrat in charge to make a country work never seems to bare out in practice. We get an earful about liberal reforms that will fix everything, but then those reforms either never arrive or get so watered down in the offering that they're meaningless.
Trump's revanchism is actively breaking a rotted out institutional economy. But we've been living in a progressively-more-gutted-out house since the end of the Reagan Admin. "The Free Market" is the root of this decay, not any one of its particularly boorish champions.

Most millennials graduated shortly after the crisis of 2008. Its a major reason so many of us are unusually much much poorer than the average Gen Xer (who are only somewhat poorer compared to Boomers).

Yeah. It sure was "fun" competing with people with decades of experience and advanced degrees right after graduation. I hope that our generation and those after us are able to course correct and undo the bullshit that Boomers have inflicted upon humanity.
Note: Not generation war (no war but class war) but unfortunate reality. Boomers overwhelmingly supported neo-liberal politicians that to pulled up the ladder behind them and robbed future generations in exchange for short-term gains.

No... no.... No.
Let's have some weird destablizing tech that rich people cannot control or bank on to level the playing field a little. (No, not AI - something like pre-2010 internet). That or aliens, who have the sole goal of trading with us only once our Gini coefficient drops to less than 0.05

Immediately before, in my case. I'm thinking of welding some armor to a bulldozer.

Trump is a symptom of the US, not the cause.

First thing anyone with matter replicators needs to do is IMMEDIATELY replicate 100 replicators and send them to enough countries that there's no WAY for any corporation or rich fuck to quash it and maintain dominance.
Replicators would immediately destroy any economic system because no economic system would be needed when everything you can think of is a button press away.
Honestly any version of replicators....
