    >Gen Z’s lofty salary goal of nearly $600,000 a year underlies a generational shift to the political right.

    Widespread delusion relates to a rightward shift?

    Is this counting for housing? If you don’t own house you might overshoot for the salary you need.

  3. Lmao Gen Z’s salary expectations are delusional and likely skewed by social media—just like their political beliefs.

  4. I think the more interesting question isn’t what it says about their political views now; it’s what happens to Gen Z’s political views when those expectations don’t become reality. Do they blame it on the economic elite/management and move left, or right-wing boogeymen (immigrants, DEI, etc.) and move right?

    “John Steinbeck once said that socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.” – Ronald Wright
