🧑‍🎓📉🙄The government, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that the reason employment figures are looking like a ghost town isn’t because of rising costs, vanishing incentives, or that charming little national insurance hike—oh no. It’s because young people are apparently too lazy, picky, or busy live-streaming their breakfast to get a “real job.”

🎯 Generation Zzz or Just Tired of Being Screwed?

Ah yes, classic deflection: when in doubt, blame the kids. The same government that’s overseen soaring rent, tuition fees, and a cost-of-living crisis that makes ramen noodles feel like a luxury item now has the audacity to accuse the youth of dragging their feet on employment.

Let’s review what “opportunity” looks like today:

  • Entry-level jobs demanding 5 years of experience
  • Wages that don’t cover bus fare, let alone rent
  • Taxes and deductions that make your payslip look like a ransom note
  • Zero-hours contracts that vanish faster than your overdraft limit

But no, obviously it’s not the disappearing ladder, it’s the “entitled” generation at fault. 🙄

Never mind that this group came of age during a pandemic, graduated into a recession, and now face the privilege of working for peanuts while ministers collect expense claims like Pokémon cards.

Newsflash: you don’t fix a broken labour market by finger-pointing at the people holding the fragments. Especially not while CEOs earn in a morning what most 20-somethings won’t in a year.

🚨 Challenges 🚨

Why is government still playing the blame game while dodging the real issues—like living wages, housing crises, and tax greed? If you’re part of the generation being blamed, or just tired of this boomer blame-loop, let’s hear your unfiltered truth. 🧨💬
