    this is culture war garbage, i imagine your working class boomer grand / parents are not to blame for the failing of the state.

    this has been and always will be an issue stemming from class, economic structure and social stratification.

      I’ll throw in an argument that a lot of that generation are either unable or unwilling to understand the plight of their offspring and why they don’t just do better. There is a lot of intra-generational sabotage amongst them as well. I would like to see numbers of men with successful retirement to women, especially given the power disparities in that generation, early on in particular. There’s a lot of not undeserved angst for them, but a lot of them were also screwed over the by rich and those who pretend they are.
