Medieval Peasants vs Millennials

Medieval Peasants Millennials Owns a hovel Has access to the commons Works 150 days a year Pays 1/10 annual produce to the lord My landlord is cruel, I dislike the new king, and I fear I will freeze to death in my hovel this winter Rents a hovel No access to the commons Has "unlimited PTO" that they'll never take Pays 1/2 annual income to the lord

A Venn diagram compares medieval peasants with millennials. Both groups live in hovels and pay a large share of their income or produce to a landlord or lord, while the central text humorously compares their hardships and complaints. It is sent as a sarcastic reaction about rent, work, limited benefits, and the idea that modern life is not much better than the Middle Ages.
