What is this objective reality people struggle to accept?

If you don't pay your bills, people come and take your stuff. Then other people come and make you leave your residence.

Then you get to live in your car. Unless someone has come and taken that.

What gave you the idea that younger generations aren't aware of this? About 17 out of 10,000 people in the US are homeless. The vast majority of people in the US are not experiencing what you are describing.

Hey, sorry, it looks like my comment was taken out of context. I was replying to mstipetic who said "what is this objective reality", which I read as saying there is no objective reality.

And I only wanted to point out that there is an objective reality.

I certainly did not mean to say anything negative about younger generations.

You can always choose not to play that game. The world is a big place.

In what way are we "struggling to accept" this reality? If you mean that we want to change this, that's an entirely different discussion and not necessarily an automatic point against us.
