Very good observation which at age 74 I agree with most heartily. But I will say that the screwing they are getting is in many cases self-inflicted by not playing by same rules older generations did (or had to).
We truly lived in the golden age of the USA. Now we are entering the dark ages.
You’re right; younger people now will work more hours for more years and have less to show for it. It is not a coincidence that the middle class birthrate has dropped so steeply; home ownership and families (even holding the title to a car) are viewed as out of reach for many young people.
