Just got robbed in Barcelona, at Plaça Catalunya, 8pm.
An underage North African kid put his arm around me, I told him to leave me alone but he chased me, I screamed for police, no help, he grabbed my gold chain, pulled strong and run away.
This is city needs change. Fast.

There’s no one single reason this time around. Now it’s about a paradigm being exhausted. The inability to see where disruption, change and growth are going to come from:

Make your choice and find your luck.

Young people may elect only to work at companies that require people to be at the office. For Generation-Z and younger Millennials, it is socially important to be around other people. They desire a social life with their co-workers, need mentors and to feel a part of something.
