I’m not sure it holds more true now than in times past, but I believe the argument generally goes that the older, richer generation has exploited the land and taken on huge amounts of debt, all while jacking up the prices of the things that gave them their advantages (education and housing brings the initial arguments in this vein). And, further, that the older generation will die before needing to address all of these various natural and societal debts, leaving the younger, poorer generation on the hook for their excesses. Edit: just want to clarify that I’m only vaguely familiar with the arguments that I am parroting here
