the older generations are so INCAPABLE of understanding the current economic state for young adults. i’m at risk of losing my place due to the rising cost of living, and i’m VERY frugal. my mother compared herself to me & we’re sitting in her $60k vehicle

y’all always resort to tiny details to try to dehumanize people bc you REFUSE to admit something is wrong in this county!! boomers hold over 50% of the wealth in this country, gen x 26%, millennials less than 15%, and gen z 1-2%! obviously it would be meaningless to just be angry at older generations when we could do something to provoke change. the bigger issue lies in the wealth gap between the top 1% and the rest of us. corporations are getting greedier and greedier as time goes on; the
