It does seem like a 1-2 punch for a lot of people.

hmm ill ask my uncle who was a kid to a single mom during the great depression and who was drafted in 1944 and deployed to the Pacific then recalled less then a decade later to go fight in Korea. I am sure he felt very lucky to experience the depression as a hungry child then fight in two wars.

My mother raised during the Great Depression ate “sandwiches” that consisted of two pieces of bread and the lard from the chicken dinners of better off families.

My Dad same story even though his family was a little better off but his reward for making it through the Depression was a pair of combat boots and 3 years in the Pacific war.

Probably should’ve said recent history.
But ya, Great Depression probably sucked alot more... Hope it doesn’t actually hit that again....

The Democrats openly admitted they were willing for a Recession or worse to get rid of Trump. They got one with the virus response. Now extended and extended and extended. First to flatten the curve, now the "new normal". Your side is the worst. Own it.

A better title would be:
"Most incompetent parenting generation of all time?"

Yes, the stories he could probably tell!

IDK, I don't see dems downplaying the virus as things get worse and then throwing their top doctor under the bus because his data doesn't abide with their narrative...

Going to war probably sucked. Dying before 5 years old probably sucked. Being a slave probably sucked.

Stop the drama.

Bingo.

The millennials have not been lucky either, but the situation above was much worse.
