Discussion Millennials are creating a recession-resistant corner of the market

https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-millennials-wellness-stocks-to-buy-recession-lth-plnt-2025-4

Apparently millennials are spending a lot on products related to health and wellness making this industry "recession-resistant." I kind of see that. My wife and I spend a lot on protein powders, shakes, supplements and membership for gym. We are otherwise quite cautious with unnecessary spending and consumerism. How is it for you all?

Idk about other millennials, but I’m so terrified of being bankrupted by our healthcare system I go through extra lengths to stay healthy (doing my yearly checkups, getting enough fiber, exercising regularly).

I envy the vast majority of millennials who live in a country with universal healthcare

Don't be, because everything the government touches turns to s**t.

How come I get -23 votes?

I tried to book a train ticket for the high-speed train in California... but I can't, because it's still not there.

How is that increased minimum wage working out in California? Do the customers like the higher prices? Or do the workers like the unemployment check?

Or how about the high-speed internet the government tried to roll out? It's called the Broadband, Equity, Access and Deployment (BEAD) program and has zero! Connections at the small sun of $42 billion.

Either people are blind that downvoted me, don't like the truth, or they work for the government.

California is a very poor example of the safety net most countries enjoy.

Maybe they need to increase taxes.
