🏠 Nearly half of adults under 30 in the US are living with their parents. The number is real, and it's climbing fast. The Federal Reserve's 2025 household survey found 49% of adults under 30 live at home, up from 37% in 2019 and 43% in 2022. That's a 12-point jump in six years. Census data backs this up: a record 25.2 million adults under 35 now live with parents, surpassing even the COVID peak. This isn't a new phenomenon. The trend follows a U-shaped curve dating back to 1940. Living with parents was common in the 1940s, dropped to record lows in the 1960s-80s (as low as 8% for 25-35 year olds), and has been climbing since 2000. By 2014, living with parents edged out living with a partner as the most common arrangement for 18-34 year olds for the first time in 130 years. What's driving it? Housing costs have outpaced incomes. Apartment List found that in 1960, 60% of young adults living at home could afford their own place. By 2022, only 18% could. Student debt and a weak job market make it harder - 25% of people under 30 told the Fed they can't find adequate work. A creator recently went viral using the 49% stat to reassure anyone living at home. Her framing is valid: the data confirms this is normal, not a personal failure. Most young adults who live with parents (64%) say it's had a positive impact on their finances. But the stat also reflects something bigger than individual choices. It's a systemic housing affordability crisis wearing a lifestyle trend as a costume.

these sorts of articles never cease to amaze me 😮🤷 https://johnmenadue.com/post/2026/07/gen-z-is-not-ageing-into-the-old-australia/ how can it be that i am so utterly unlike any of the generational stereotypes always portrayed here? if possible i am even more reactionary, progressive, green, left, now in my retired 60s than i already was in my 20s, 30s, 40s. wtf is wrong in the heads & hearts of those who, according to these tropes, feel that morality is a conditional moveable feast? 🙄🤦‍♀️ #auspol #demographics #stereotypes

Replying to @SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Zenz#Criticism Zenz is a lapsed Catholic-turned-born-again Christian, and he has stated that he feels “led by God” in his research on Chinese Muslims and other minority groups. He co-authored a book in 2012 with his father-in-law, Marlon L. Sias, titled Worthy to Escape: Why All Believers Will Not Be Raptured Before the Tribulation. en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Adrian_Zenz Adrian Zenz has many ties to imperialist organisations, notably being employed as a “senior fellow” by the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation In his 2012 book Worthy to Escape: Why All Believers Will Not Be Raptured Before the Tribulation,[3] which he co-authored, Zenz wrote some of the following quotes: "Through notions of gender equality...the enemy is undermining God’s unique but different role assignments for men and women" "Another important God-given authority structure that Satan is attacking through the postmodern spirit is that of gender authority structures" "It is very likely that the global persecution of true believers will center on the charge that they promote ‘intolerant views,’ especially related to preaching against homosexuality” “The Antichrist is dependent on the harlot, because he must seize upon humanity's desperate craving for all that the harlot offers in order to achieve world domination. The world will worship him because he will promise them all these things, promoting sexual ‘freedom’ (the unrestrained and godless practice of all sexual behaviors, including homosexuality), control over their affairs (independence from God), and he will vow to maintain people's standard of living” "... anti-discrimination laws put in place throughout the European Union ... forbid employers to discriminate based on gender or sexual orientation. That way, it becomes illegal for churches or Christian organizations to refuse to hire homosexuals into important positions" “Hate crime and anti-discrimination laws will likely play a major role in the suppression of biblical Christianity” “Rising numbers of countries are banning all forms of physical punishment of children, the primary scriptural method for instilling respect for authority in the young generation and protecting them from rebellious tendencies… But true scriptural spanking is loving discipline and not violence, and neglecting the wisdom of God makes the church increasingly vulnerable to the schemes of the enemy” Notably, he claims that “God’s refining process will wipe out all unbelieving Jews” which raises questions as to probable anti-Semitic views. his initial assertion that up to 1.5 million Uyghurs were interned in “concentration camps” came from an Uyghur separatist group who interviewed 8 people, asking them how many people from their village they thought were in such centres, and averaging the results to the whole population of Xinjiang. This is presented as and unquestionable fact by Zenz. en.prolewiki.org/…/Xinjiang_Uygur_Autonomous_Regi… Today in the Xinjiang there are 12.7 million Uyghurs, and 9 million Han, and 3.1 million people in other ethnic groups, or 51%, 36%, and 13% respectively.[8] The population has doubled since 1978, and the Uyghur population increased by more than 5.6 million in the same time period.[2] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang#Demographics In 2010, the population of Xinjiang was 45.84 percent Uyghur and 40.48 percent Han. The 2020 Census showed the share of the Uyghur population decline slightly to 44.96 percent, and the Han population rise to 42.24 percent Uyghurs have also emigrated to other parts of China, where their numbers have increased steadily. Uyghur independence activists express concern over the Han population changing the Uyghur character of the region though the Han and Hui Chinese mostly live in Northern Xinjiang Dzungaria and are separated from areas of historic Uyghur dominance south of the Tian Shan mountains (Southwestern Xinjiang), where Uyghurs account for about 90 percent of the population.
