The only thing young people in Southern Europe can do is drink and smoke

26 April, 2025

The only thing young people in Southern Europe can do is drink and smoke because there's absolutely zero opportunities for them to do anything else

They have little to no economic opportunities available, no jobs, no housing to rent or buy to move out of your parent's place and regulation makes it close to impossible to even run your own business

The only thing you can do is hope you can leave and work abroad and then return at age 65 when you've made enough money and buy some farmland

Their governments have failed their people for decades

Tragic is what it is

But yes it's a "vibe"
