I see this in a similar light to the opioid crisis. While it won’t directly kill you like opioid addiction or overdose, economically strip mining Gen Z and Gen Alpha for gains using meme stocks, crypto, sports betting, prediction markets, and similar systems is going to leave us in a bad spot after these enterprises have left with their gains.

Indicators to track will be suicide, bankruptcies, domestic violence, military washout rate, etc.
