"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."

So what can we say this morning about the state of the negotiations?
Contrary to various reports throughout the day, the deal is not yet finalized. However, there is genuine optimism in Israel that an agreement could be reached in the near future. A political source commented last night: "We are in advanced stages but not yet at the final stages - the Hamas leadership in Gaza has not yet responded to the outline, and the list of hostages has not yet been received."
The outline, which is relatively detailed, was negotiated with the Hamas leadership in Qatar and discusses the release of 33 humanitarian hostages in the first phase of the deal. This definition includes all women, both civilian and military, children, men over the age of 50, men with serious injuries or medical conditions, as well as Abra Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, who were kidnapped before the war.
Hamas has shown significant flexibility regarding the number of hostages - initially demanding about 12, gradually increasing to 15 and then 18, and now ...
