There was a time when the rules seemed clear: show up, put in the work, stick around, and good things would follow. Pensions actually meant something. Job security wasn't a joke. Real estate just kept climbing. If you played by the rules, the system rewarded you.

But that social contract? It's basically gone.

Long Degeneracy.

The system is broken, but we're still playing by the old rules. LOL

Bro, the social contract has long since gone bankrupt. Our generation has really been screwed over badly.

Looking at this paragraph, I think of the projects I went all-in on... I used to believe that faith could feed me. And now? Just a bunch of chives.

Haha, the social contract has already been broken. Now players all know that the rules are fake.

The social contract has long been broken. Who are we still talking about rules with? Laughing to death.

Wow, doesn't this mean that our generation is being cut for the last time... Social security and pensions have long been a joke, and housing prices are even more hopeless.
