My generation is struggling for stability in a system that no longer feels fit for purpose. It’s time to take that seriouslyFor gen Z Americans, it’s hard to remember a version of the economy not defined by crisis. We finished our education online as Covid devastated the world, only to graduate into high costs of living, stagnant wages and now AI’s threat to entry-level jobs. We’ve come of age in a system that no longer feels fit for purpose.The result is a generation that’s lost faith in the traditional markers of stability.

The budget measure will hurt poor people and boost rich people. It should really be called the Billionaires’ Tax Cut ActJust a few months ago, Donald Trump sought to bamboozle the American people into believing that his One Big Beautiful Bill Act – with its trillions in tax cuts for the rich – was a legislative wonder stuffed with one marvel after another. But a Pew opinion poll in August found that millions of Americans have wised up about the measure and now view it as a big, unbeautiful monstrosity.Many Americans have come to realize that Trump’s not-so-beautiful bill – instead of being filled with good things that benefit average Americans – is overflowing with big tax cuts for the wealthy as well as many unfortunate things that will hurt typical working families.
