    Our parents really screwed this country up:

    • Worse off financially
    • Lonelier
    • Worse mental health
    • Worse social safety net
    • Less affordable homes
    • Less affordable health care
    • Less affordable college
    • Climate is royally screwed

    It feels like an older sibling who took your toy and broke it rather than parents as stewards who gave a shit about the society they leave the next group. We were taught respect, share, work with others, and then it turns out all the adults are just doing whatever selfish thing lets them get ahead. All the BS propaganda about communism taken to its extreme was true of neoliberal policy taken to its extreme. Now we slip into textbook capital Fascism and defunct cronyism.

      Unless your parents are members of the ruling class, they had very little to do with your immiseration!

      My parents essentially voted against me having a job and don’t ever ask about my situation now which is precarious. Went from retiring safely to career in peril. Just one of many reasons why I agree with you.
