    Wow, how (expectedly) out of touch.

    Gen-Z socialists are uninterested in letting the market rip and redistributing the proceeds.

    Because they’ve seen how well that has worked for their peers and parents.

      What did you expect? It’s called the Economist.

      Better newspapers and magazines are Jacobin, die Tageszeitung, Il Manifesto, and_ Voxeurop. Oh and locally there’s the West Highland Free Press.

        It’s actually really funny that they mention US T-bonds as a time bomb in small print at the top then try to get boomers scared about Gen Z.

        That’s why I literally wrote “(expectedly)” in my comment, but thanks for the recommendations.

      Whats out of touch is that I am not sure Gen Z is explicitly against the concept of “rip and redistribute”.

      Because that is not what is happening. What is happening is “Rip and hoard”.

      THAT is what Gen Z is against.

      There is also the weird line OP quoted that suggests Gen Z is “against creating but prefers taking” and that they are just upset with AI because its doing that at scale.

      Like I guess they are trying to compare the desire for “taking” profits from Billionaires to AI taking everything humans have created? Its so stupid.
