All of them. It's why they are called zoomers... They are fast and nimble and live for flexible lives. Zoomers won't have roots. Zoomers chose the life of the road, of being deliveroo riders and sofa surfers. Every. Single. One. Of. Them.

You really think a WHOLE generation ("Every. Single. One. Of. Them.") has the ability to buy a home? A burger flipper can buy a house?

Man most deliveroo riders I know do this because they need to pay bills, not because it's a career choice. And most of all, being a deliveron rider doesn't make you able to buy a house.

>It's why they are called zoomers...

Dude, they're generation Z and called Zoomers in reference to Boomers.

I mean, I read in other comments of yours that you're a teacher. I hope you do a little more research before teaching kids.

I just hope this whole thing was a joke because I fear for UK's education now.

Nope. You are wrong. They are called zoomers because they go from A to Z so quickly... They are already at Z.

Always on the move, zipping and zapping, zigging and zagging. Zoomers.... Faster than a Yoomer.

The burger flipper can buy a house if they go freelance and get paid per flipped burger. They'd zoom through it and increase their earnings significantly. Or they could set up a spatula subscription service where people will receive a spatula whenever they need to flip a burger. A corn starch plastic disposable spatula.
