You’ve raised a bunch of whining snowflakes who are incredibly soft, lazy and entitled. What did you expect?

FWIW, my adult kids are better off than we were at that age.

When they were in their 30s, both of my grandfathers fought in the trenches in WWI (one barely survived a mustard gas attack), survived the Spanish Flu Pandemic (along with Polio and countless other epidemics in a pre-antibiotic world), got married, and built businesses and lives. Then, when they were in their 50s, they lost everything in the Great Depression (my paternal grandparents quite literally when their home was washed away in a flood), rebuilt from nothing, and then sent their sons off to fight in WWII.

My great-grandparents said goodbye forever to everything and everyone they had ever known, to travel across the world to a continent where they had never been before and knew that they would never leave, just for the opportunity to work themselves to death so that their children might have a chance for better lives.

I think they might take issue with snowflakes today bemoaning how much harder their lives are than prior generations.

For the first time in our nation's history, a 30-year-old... isn't doing as well their parents were at 30.

What nonsense. There have always been those who lagged behind their parents' accomplishments in life, and those who surpassed them.

When I was 30, I certainly wasn't doing as well as my parents had been at that age. Then I finished college, got a career going, and ended up doing OK after all. Not great, but OK.

All own their own homes

the duel couple are breaking 250K have a beautiful home and kids
the one with lots of kids is home with them now but will eventually go back to her non AI replaceable job 100K
the one with his own business owns home and business and will be breaking 150 first year
and the one who is ill has own place and works as can.

“And the ONLY solution is to vote for Biden to clean up Trump’s mess” (I added that part...)
