The operational environment sucks. Let's be honest. It is almost instantly mocked when we say it is hard for young men these days. Still, when you look at stats that matter, things like inflation, the growing rift between young men and young women, 4th wave feminism, I think it needs to be acknowledged that while material wealth and physical security remain high, our fundamentals are off in a way that can be far worse than other forms of difficulty. Ask yourself, would you rather grow up in a ti...
