There was a big recession, idk if you remember it. When people are laid off it takes 6 months for them to have been unemployed for 27 weeks.
There are people coming "online" so to speak who weren't consciously making memories until years after the recession hit. I am now the ripe old age of 20, I have no knowledge of it whatsoever. I know some people significantly younger than me who could write well enough you wouldn't know it.
IDK, I just think it's funny is all.
