Some obnoxious ghoul-to-ghoul communication on one of the porkrags. The article looks at a study showing how young people have been drained of their hope for the future by capitalism and concludes:

After reading all that, you might be feeling a bit sad yourself. But don‘t worry: Bernstein reckons this is, broadly, good for capitalism. Its analysts see positives across most categories, such as: greater restaurant spend (as young people give up on cooking), more luxury goods spending (as young people try to fill the empty voids inside their souls), and more vaping (ditto).

Hooray for the soul-vitiating nihilism at the bus of history's last stop!
