I can't really blame them, I think after a while folks realized they all had the same experiences. Long hours, promised promotions, and eventually they have all cracked a bit.
The generation after millenials has seen how the millenial hard work essentially ruined their health (some of us got out lucky, like myself), with 0 reward besides deference to some boomers. So I think we're going to see quite a revolution in our lifetime, the new generation doesn't feel like fealty and recognizes that capitalism is really just crony capitalism. The explosion of information on the internet makes it easy to see how corruption and nepotism is 90% of everything, with 10% getting lucky + hardworking.
Who knows what will happen, I just hope we end up with healthier lives for all.

- imtringued 5y agoCapitalism and crony capitalism has always been the same thing. I would argue that capitalism is just modernized/liberal feudalism. Money and land and other legal monopoloes are still driving forces of power and they are being abused in the same way. Honestly, let them all be damned. In capitalism everyone wants to become the rentier, including me. What's my motivation? I want to protect myself from all the other rentiers.
