This is a small part of what is driving GenZ to go crazy. They believe the perception. The media lies to them and they gobble it up.
*****************
The media may be lying to them, but that isn’t the reason the younger generation doesn’t like the current economic system.
What they don’t like is the current asset inflation vs their income, which is so out of line from a historical perspective that it’s mind boggling. Eventually they’ll be a breaking point economically between the two positions, and a more favorable economic alignment will take place.
However, we aren’t there yet, so “economic disgruntlement” will continue in the near future.
The inflation is also a part, but the biggest chunk of the pie is Social Security.
GenZ has rightfully picked up on the fact that old Americans steal from young Americans and Social Security is the vehicle, the “how”.
Most of the hatred GenZ has for Boomers can singly be placed on the shoulders of the Social Security program. Add in inflation as well as ideas such as this K-Shaped Economy and we’ve got a powder keg on our hands ready to explode. Oh and also GenZ is also indoctrinated in the government schools to generally hate the U.S. So they don’t want it anyways - they think it sucks and they think its racist. That is what they were all taught, hate America.
