What then become of our young people - whether they are heirs of immigration or not -, according to an unequal society, an adrift education and a world where only the cult of money is glorified and telemarketing success?

The harshness of the words, the lack of empathy. As the protest movement against police violence and racism intensifies, the executive no longer hides its fear of seeing a lasting wind of revolt rise among the youth. In his way, Emmanuel Macron understood that the divorce was complete. He somehow assumed it on Sunday evening. If the United States is not France, the George Floyd case serves as a vector for the ill-being of the youngest part of the population, for which everything stands out as a whole: discrimination, humiliation, xenophobia, precariousness , unemployment, lack of future prospects…

The affair is serious and could lead to a generational rupture of an unprecedented scale and threatening for the cohesion of society. Admittedly, we did not wait for Covid-19 to note this fracture, particularly towards the youth of working-class neighborhoods, struck by all the systemic injustices. But the effects of confinement, useful for protecting the elderly, has thrown the first generations into unprecedented fragility. Education, exams, diplomas, training, entry into employment: living conditions have worsened, making everyday life even more anxiety-provoking than usual ...

Mass unemployment of people under 30 (40% in so-called sensitive areas), impoverishment, destruction of public services: the crisis seems to be above ground, but poverty has roots so deep that they plow and crush entrails of neighborhoods, families, young people, our children, crushed under the rolling mill of a devastated health and economic landscape, victims of an era struck with the seal of derealization. The future of the Republic is largely played out in these working-class districts. If the dropout continues, the Republic itself will sink.

Don't worry, everything is planned ... elimination of the 35h direct.
Since the time they dreamed of it
Managing the crisis was (cynically) perfect
It's the economic catamaran
Anyone will be willing to do anything to work a little
Objective achieved and golden parachute for the chef.

They still managed to reduce CO10 emissions by 2% and let the little zanimos reproduce quietly, and that, frankly, is not nothing.

Consequences of the economic mess (in addition to junk food, stress from asocial networks, new technological pollution?) ... the evolution of the mental and physical health of generations X and Y is catastrophic according to this study: https://trustmyscience.com/etude-americ ... deteriore/

The authors of the study, sociologists at Ohio State University, report an "alarming" trend. Individuals of generations X and Y are aging poorly, their mental and physical health, as well as their behavior, are deteriorating. If nothing is done to slow this decline, morbidity and mortality rates will increase rapidly as these generations age.

Generation X refers to people born between 1966 and 1976, or between 1961 and 1981 depending on the definitions (this new study considers the interval 1965-1980). This is the generation that follows that of the baby boomers (individuals born after World War II) and that precedes Generation Y, also known as “millennials”. The latter includes individuals born between the early 1980s and the late 1990s - the study takes into account people born between 1981 and 1999 exactly.

The results of research conducted by sociologists at Ohio State University have just been published in the American Journal of Epidemiology. This trend of declining health appears to have started among baby boomers; it then continued in Generation X, then in Generation Y, where it was exacerbated. "The deterioration in health profiles that we have seen in Generation X and Generation Y is alarming", said senior researcher and sociology professor Hui Zheng.

Health that has deteriorated since the baby boomers
Generations X and Y, which group together individuals now aged between 25 and 55, seem to age very poorly compared to their parents and grandparents when they were the same age. The study's authors now fear that there will be a massive expansion in morbidity and death rates in the United States in the years to come. This analysis is based on data collected in the United States, but the trend is likely to apply to all other Western societies.

Humans are social beings and from the moment an "asocial society", as it is called Sandrine Aumercier, based on social atomism, another name, many psychic and psychosomatic pathologies are inevitable. This need for sociability is surely a need for comfort more important than what we are used to classifying under this term, but true sociability is incompatible with the production of abstract value (not only it does not produce any, but it is against it): no one should therefore be surprised at the current development. In many ways, we live in extraordinarily miserable societies, if we are willing to consider criteria other than the production of commodities. What makes the perception of this state difficult is that this misery retroacts on our vision of things and places it in the realm of the collective unthought.

If a social being is unable to cross the street to find work and take advantage of the runoff, there is indeed cause for despair. : Mrgreen:

To take full advantage of the runoff, you must not only cross the street, but also and above all choose the right street, in order to find yourself in front of the bank. Rothschild! It is surely due to a carelessness of our venerated president not to have clarified this last point ... : Mrgreen:
