    I think I feel anger about it, but I have also given up on them. The future will only be worse. I think we were much better off in the 70s and 80s.

      I was born in the 80’s so don’t recall a lot, but what I do know is that my dad worked in a warehouse, my mum didn’t work and we had pretty much whatever we wanted, went from the UK to Orlando on holiday every year. And I had two siblings too.

      You couldn’t even support yourself now working as a professional let alone a warehouse worker.

      Nobody seems to acknowledge it though they’d always be like yeah but we got paid less.
