Just to back this up with some data: "In 1989, when baby boomers were around the same age as millennials are today, they controlled 21% of the nation’s wealth.

Just to back this up with some data:
"In 1989, when baby boomers were around the same age as millennials are today, they controlled 21% of the nation’s wealth. That’s almost five times as much as what millennials own today."
On top of that housing and university costs have exploded in the same time. And now inflation counters even investing in a good mutual fund. I have had to move to a third world country, working remotely in tech, to even have a chance at a normal family like I grew up in.
Then there's the media manipulation. Both domestic political parties, as well as foreign states, have become extremely adept at making us hate each other. There's no philia left at all.
When I extrapolate all this out, my kids will be poor and my grandkids will be revolutionaries.
