I'd argue the mental issues are going to be a greater burden than anything else.
Not to mention that they will all contribute to any future financial issues, which will in turn fuel more mental problems.
Yada, yada, yada...

Being without money when the bills come due has got to be a huge stress for anyone. But imo most of those bills are because either 1) somebody (like a commercial landlord) is making a profit off of past investment, or 2) somebody (like a small landlord) is paying off a loan. Ultimately people are being used as a pass-through to banks and investors.
But imo it's a far better solution than in 2007 (and forward) when people were left holding their mortgages and trillions went directly to the banks and lender institutions.

I'm not sure how we seem to have segwayed so far off the initial topic of this conversation.
We just totally fucked up 50 million K-12 students in our country alone for an entire year over this.
Gen Z is going to have enough problems as it is since they were born with an iPhone in their hands. You think the Millennials make for bad adults, wait till you get a load of Z.

Could you specify how? What in particular are the problems that you see?

Fat kids getting fatter.
Kids not being able to socialize like kids.
Kids being carted around all over the place to different family members houses all the time since the parents still have to work... essentially living the lives of kids with divorced parents even if their parents aren't divorced.
See the videos above. Kids doing desperate shit just trying to reach out to each other online.
Growing up in a world where a lot of their parents and adults in general are acting like terrified idiots, further putting stress on them.
Drug and alcohol use among all age groups will show an extreme spike in 2020 over 2019.
Kids hardly learn anything while in class these days. They're not learning anything online.
More than a year now without any structure in their lives, particularly impactful if they have shit parents in the first place and/or both parents work so much that they are ineffective at home.
And the young realization that mom and dad don't have all the answers when they can't tell their kids when this is all going to end and go back to normal when they ask.
I don't even recognize my niece anymore. And I hate her parents for the hell they're setting her up for if they don't do something about her weight gain. Her mom is obese. Her dad is morbidly so. I'm sure her diet is just as shitty as it always was, but at least she had school and dance class and a lot of other activities before instead of sitting around all day doing nothing.
I had glasses and braces by 6th grade, and I was the second shortest kid in class. For 3 years, I was bullied until I started working out and kicking everybody's ass and people just left me alone to go after easier prey.
Even knowing what I went through, I know what the "fat girl" goes through in school is even worse than what I did. She's still young enough that kids aren't assholes yet, but it won't be long.

I'm sure you remember enough of your religion to remember THAT.

Social isolation, particularly among kids, has costs that won't be known for a long time.
You are so dim. I laugh at the stupid, but I cry for the stupidity of the stupid.
You're why we're going extinct. You bitch and moan and do nothing to better anyone's life,

None of that applies to me.
However, I do have the empathy gene that doesn't exist in artificial intelligence. Your poor programming can't even begin emulate it.
