I was talking about being concerned about financial inequality not being generational divided.
And financial inequality does transcend generations, kids from poorer parents on average stay poorer themselves, while kids from rich parents tend on average to to turn out richer, rather than divide them.
What is even worse is that the rising of economic inequality in the US, will also reflect itself in an even further decline of economic mobility as those two have been shown to be correlated [1].
Don't get caught up in these divisional doctrines. Some stand to benefit from fueling these narratives, and it is not going to be any of the people being pushed into the fires of identity wars.

They're not mutually exclusive. > Some stand to benefit from fueling these narratives ...and some stand to benefit from suppressing them. Attribution of motive - to unspecified people, even - is a non argument.
