Peter,

Bullseye again my friend.

Candidly, it's even WORSE than you lay out for one reason:

Not only is the economic deck stacked against next generation, they have their own MINDS to contend with.

Think of the incredible programming they have received:

• victimhood-as-a-strength

• third-party payers

• attention economics

Not only do they have a rough territory to navigate, their orientation is broken.

Parenting, parenting, parenting. Young adults have to offer society something society wants and will pay for. Few young people get that because their parents are not telling them that. “It’s ok to fail, to be a drunk, addicted to porn or be lazy. Not your fault”. We have removed the consequences of making mistakes like drug addiction, accidental pregnancy, failing out of school, losing your job, Studying something idiotic like psychology. Big G will help you provided you vote D. We’ll take from the wealthy and give you to you. News flash the wealthy are protecting themselves by running the ponzi scheme (Big G). The middle class is paying for it and will pay for it. Bet on yourself, get your head out of your ass, make your own breaks fight your way to the top. Don’T be such a p**sy. Stop hanging out with your loser friends and study something awesome and important to society.
