      There are a lot of rural Gen Z that believe in hustle culture and ‘working hard is moral in of itself’. They fall for this shit all the time, before injuring themselves.

        hustle culture

        Rural Gen Z be priming us for the Cyberpunk future where corporations teach us about how cool Povertypunk is; who wants to be rich middle-class can afford olive garden this month inherited a home that’s been in your family since great grandma have a guarantee on 50$ in your wallet when you can get your hustle on!

        Get ready to replace those paltry flesh limbs with company approved robotic arms (subject to return policy when you exit the premises)!

      Boomers? Probably, but I doubt anyone under the age of 45 is going to be as blindly trusting of corporate as a boomer.

      Boomers are significantly older than 45, but Xers (including King Le X himself my-hero ) often have pretty much all the boomer traits too. grillman
