@ItsAFake@davel Funny how the failure of capitalism is causing people to “choose” not to follow the overconsumptive lifestyle patterns the capitalists insist we must aspire to. A failed system will fall apart one way or another, even if it has convinced most people not to want it to fail.
I guess you can check the median age of people getting their driving license first time. If is getting higher, is probably because younger people don’t care enough to get it, because past generations couldn’t afford cars ar 16 neither.
Ok, I get you. I love in latinamerica and was using my experience as the standard, when here is a more American/European centric site where experience may vary.
“Choosing” is doing some heavy lifting here when gen-z ain’t got no money.
You speak of “heavy lifting” without reading the article explaining in part how the economy may be impacting these choices.

What do you mean? I know plenty of people who worked service jobs and bought cheap used cars in high school.
It just isn’t as feasible now.

Ah, that makes more sense. My bad on my part as well, the fediverse is certainly not just for US/Europe.
