well said. it isn't being talked about much, perhaps because the truth of your statement is terrifying for most who are lucky enough to sit at desks and collect a tech paycheck, but what you speak to is real, and not just among the younger folk. GenX has been ignored here, but they were the first wave of those affected by the changes - many of these educated people are without options after performing the theater he describes in the article while actually working hard at whatever arbitrary "meritocratic" hoop they had to bootstrap to just to get into the game at all, and were caught in the next wave. many didn't have a way to get out to that small town he spoke of either. Being in this category during the occupy wall street time gave one a front row seat to hear about, experience, and see all of this. To describe Bernie sympathizers in the way he does isn't fully honest. There are more than just younger folks in this group and it started a lot earlier than people realize because GenX was comparatively smaller and without a voice at scale (minus the social media and internet tools at first). Then there are older folks bankrupted by healthcare costs having to work until death, leaving no new space for younger folks. The anger on the ground in NYC is thick and multi-aged.
