Most millennials I know have just been waiting for the last decade for the other shoe to drop. That's the thing I feel like we rarely talk about: that we have been conditioned to accept precarity as our norm https://twitter.com/ezraklein/status/1249770622940401665

In that, we're probably most similar to (gasp) The Greatest Generation, conditioned by privations of The Great Depression / WWII, never *really* able to settle into the post-WWII abundance

Also so many communities *as whole* have been conditioned to live with precarity; the difference, as always, is that it's cutting across so many demos (aka white middle-class people are also experiencing it en masse)
