If there are 55 just in Chicago, I'd guess in NYC....it's close to 200. Across the US....it's probably in the 3,000 range.
As you bunk up a hundred guys/gals in some gym or open warehouse.....it'll just spread around.
In five years? You probably will know at least one neighbor who got TB somewhere. Funny how we thought we got rid of it.
Basically, Gen-Z people have a particular problem....when you (the non-Gen-Z'er) converse and say something (maybe 4 lines)....they pause over what you said and try to interpret the words and meaning.
They also try to establish if you said something harsh, critical or negative.
It would be like some chimpanzee trying to review your actions as friendly or hostile, but having no clear ability to grasp much beyond you showing your teeth or offering them a banana.
So imagine yourself in a position where there's a 6-minute talk between you and the Gen-Z 'kid', and you see at least eight different facial expressions indicating they are reacting in some way in a frightened or negative way. The 6-minute talk? Well....it might have been about restocking the paper trays for the copy machines throughout the company floor, or ensuring the horses get fed by 4 PM.
Yeah, this is crazy stuff to realize, but it begs the question....how will they survive in the adult world?
