Sorry, but this mentality is counter-productive and plays right into the hands of oligarchs. Instead of recognizing that wealth and power is increasingly accruing to a smaller and smaller set of uber-wealthy (who pass that wealth on and otherwise rig the game for their offspring), we allow ourselves to be distracted by culture wars and generation wars rather than recognizing it as a smokescreen from the concentration of wealth and power that is driving the bad outcomes.

Maybe even making Management one day--with training paid for by the parent company--if he worked hard enough! Jeff Bezos would have you working under the same conditions, pissing in bottles and living in his parking lot. Grandpa's earned wealth isn't why you can't afford a house.
