I don’t think most of Gen Z and Millennials see any of this. They vote overwhelmingly for the party that caused the financial mess. They voted for Mamdani.
Nonsensical article.

Student loans are a choice
Many seem to choose….badly
True for some young people, yes, but for what percentage? I missed that part.
Teach them about early savings, exp(x), low taxes, low regulations, low personal and low national debt, and the value of getting married, having kids, and staying married.
Teach them the Christian religion if they don't have any.
Show them patriotism, conservatism and capitalism, and warn them about the suicide mission of Communism in all its forms: libealism, socialism, feminism, environmentalism, LGBTQ+, etc.
Absolutely don't bash the younger generations. Support them financially, intellectually, emotionally, all ways. Be their friends.
Teach them about politics, which doesn't make sense to most people until middle age.

Petulant boomers?
Put the blame where it is deserved: Democrats.
Blame LBJ. All this started with the democrats handing out free s$&€ to lazy people for votes. It worked for them once and they’ve never looked back. Never met a “refugee” they didn’t love (unless said refugee was white).
I wish it was true, and surely you can find few are like this.
A lot of Conservatives heap scorn on the younger generations. Lazy people who make bad choices and spend their money foolishly. Freaks. Weirdos. Bums.
And then the Conservatives get surprised when the younger generations vote for Socialists who explain that the young people are inheriting a rigged game with a $38T debt and corrupt institutions. A nation which has been fundamentally transformed in which the old American Dream is no longer available to most people.
Someone knows how to attract the youth vote. And it’s not us.
Back in the late sixties and early seventies I read articles like this citing the no nonsense new wave newness of the massive Boomer wave. The Boomers think this and the Boomers think that and the Boomers like this and the Boomers hate that. It’s deja vu all over again. Hope the new boss ain’t the same as the old boss…
Gen Z males are waking up, but Internet influencers are redirecting their wrath at nebulous targets like "Jews" and "Boomers" rather than at the specific political malefactors who made life harder for them.
I am a Boomer and I am not responsible for the misery they have now. I am as disgusted as they are with things and have been for years. Blame the uniparty which was in operation even before boomers grew up.
The generation before me are the people that sent us to places like Vietnam which was a total disaster. Do I blame everyone in their generation for it?
Perhaps authors of articles like this would be wise to stop the blame because it is unfair to blame a whole group of people for the actions of some of those people.
Reads like a fantasy.
Give New York City a few months to see the result of Millennials and Gen Z voting.
They won’t make the connection, of course, and will blame Trump and Boomers.
Of the ~20 houses on my Florida street, only 4 are lived in by boomers.
One of my younger homeowning neighbors is a software development manager, the others are in trades, lawnmowing or medical.
Benjamin Franklin’s list of virtues:
Temperance: Eat not to dullness. Drink not to elevation.
Silence: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself. Avoid trifling conversation.
Order: Let all your things have their places. Let each part of your business have its time.
Resolution: Resolve to perform what you ought. Perform without fail what you resolve.
Frugality: Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself: i.e. waste nothing.
Industry: Lose no time. Be always employed in something useful. Cut off all unnecessary actions.
Sincerity: Use no hurtful deceit. Think innocently and justly; and, if you speak, speak accordingly.
Justice: Wrong none, by doing injuries or omitting the benefits that are your duty.
Moderation: Avoid extremes. Forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.
Cleanliness: Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes or habitation.
Tranquility: Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.
Chastity: Rarely use venery but for health or offspring; never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another’s peace or reputation.
Humility: Imitate Jesus and Socrates.

Ethnicity, gender, religion, and country of birth, are the strongest and most reliable predictors of USA political preference.
Gen Z is the last USA majority white (just 50%) generation.
Conservatives plus Republicans will be a minority political party for decades into the future - perhaps permanently.
“Diminishing Musharakah (Partnership-to-Ownership)
“This hybrid model blends partnership and leasing. You and the financier purchase the property together in stated shares—say 80% bank, 20% you. You pay rent on the bank’s share while gradually buying out that share, so its percentage “diminishes” over time. Once you acquire 100%, the partnership dissolves.”
