Well.. I mean Calhoun's "Universe 25" mouse experiment says it all doesn't it.

ie. -- "Eventually other deviant behavior emerged. Mice who had been raised improperly or kicked out of the nest early often failed to develop healthy social bonds, and therefore struggled in adulthood with social interactions. Maladjusted males began isolating themselves like hermits in empty apartments—unusual behavior among mice, vying their time playing vidya or writing useless but whimsical unix programs. Maladjusted females, meanwhile, took to grooming all day—preening and licking themselves hour after hour, incessantly posting pictures of themselves on social media for attention. Calhoun called them “the beautiful ones.”"

Wasn't that always the case, with every generation? Your mortgage was taken out decades ago, those payments seemed high back then, now they were eaten by inflation. I bet after 20 years, nearly every mortgage becomes smaller than equivalent rent, that's how it was always supposed to be. Mortgage is a heavy burned only in the first few years before inflation eats it.

Can you elaborate a bit about the socioeconomic conditions?

President Doge and Wormbrain Kennedy want to do that, don't they? Doge also has this breeding-fetish.

Hah, the above paragraph needs several pages of footnotes of explanation, but incredibly I feel like it's an accurate summary of the coming state of US politics..
