"Zoomers are the first cohort to be fully immersed in the reality of generational downward mobility. While millenials will also earn less than their parents, they were formed under the expectations of America ascending to a kind of Post-History stasis where at worst their status and wealth was permanently locked in.
Zoomers have none of these illusions and rightfully reject the obsolete and facile narratives they’re expected to swallow and obey to make sense of their lives and ambitions. Those are dead narratives. They do not reflect reality at all. They do not reflect the deranged cultural and political circumstances they’re expected to navigate from a position of negative expected value for pretty much any career path outside of genius tech outlier.
Scolding them is a stupid and pointless exercise that will only drive them further into despair and resentment.
Yes. Don’t be resentful. Don’t give in to despair. Be resourceful and lay a claim on your own life. But it’s also going to require offering Zoomers much better and updated narratives and opportunities for how to accrue status and wealth and the basic conditions for living a dignified life for the average guy who is not an outlier tech genius.
There are short, medium, and long term fixes for this. Some straightforwardly political. Some more complex cultural questions. But the implicit promise of boomer America, even Gen X America, is no longer viable, and that broken promise has absolutely nothing to do with Zoomers themselves."

The Oil and Water War – and Will American Soldiers Land on Iran’s Shores?
At the beginning of the war, during Operation Epic Fury, President Donald Trump promised that it would be a sharp, focused, and short operation. According to him, the campaign would end within weeks.
But if there is one certainty about wars, it is that they almost never unfold according to plan. Russia believed the war in Ukraine would end within days, and Israel’s Operation Peace for Galilee also began with similar promises.
Since the start of the war, Iran has worked to export the conflict beyond its borders and involve as many countries in the region as possible. Even countries considered relatively friendly, such as the United Arab Emirates, have suffered significant damage.
The Iranian strategy is clear –
to expand the battlefield and create political and economic disruption that will increase pressure on the United States, which Tehran believes struggles to sustain long wars.
One of the main arenas is, of course, the Strait of ...
