They know we're here, but there really is no practical reason to acknowledge or listen to us, from their perspective. That's a narrative that corrupt governments and corporations have been exploiting for a long time. It's far more nuanced than most people understand. So, I'm just going to give you my brief semi-subjective opinion on the matter: 1. It is largely due to our generation's seemingly small impact on economic growth in relative to the Boomers. But, that is a false narrative, imo. We created the "Digital Age" that we all rely on; our children included. The majority of our generation still seem to abide by and spread the tradfi narratives that they themselves were taught by their Boomer parents. A huge mistake on our part. In other words, Gen Zers may be somewhat dismissive of us because we didn't... I guess you could say "market" our cultural, technological, and societal contributions as well as our parents' generation did. It's a matter of sociological and economic disagreement that many remain unaware of. 2. Naturally, the first point i made will lead to a lot of skepticism from those who are struggling financially; regardless of age group. This only strengthens and validates their prudence regarding our "advice" and feedback. 3. We're now beginning to be viewed as something of a practical dilemma in their eyes. Just a personal opinion.
