Young people are struggling, no doubt.
Gee, it couldn't be logical consequences of say:
- in order to save your friends' VC $ coming out of the dot.com era, you
- insist Fannie May and Freddie Mac open the taps on housing loans to huge numbers of worthless people who predictably default
- let government-selected and -promoted agencies classify these shit devices as AAA
- act shocked, shocked I say! when the entire sham collapses
- punish NOBODY, and certainly don't pull the official imprimatur from any of the rating agencies complicit in the scam
- use the crisis to vastly expand executive power (I mean, since OBVIOUSLY no Republican was going to ever win after Bush, right?); massage economic data to pretend interest rates are 0% for nearly a decade.
- OOOPS, not only a Republican but HITLER AND THE DEVIL COMBINED won instead of Hilary. Spend the next 4 years doing basically nothing but try to impeach him for ... whatever shit you made up that week that stuck.
- Put in a senescent puppet on the throne for 4 years, print money as fast as you can, demand $15/hour for every shitty part time job in the country; act shocked, shocked I say when businesses close, trim jobs, and prices go up. High interest rates (esp when previous buyers are paying 2% or lower) absolutely shutter the home-turnover market, and fuck new home buyers*
*who are also shouldering $six digit college loans why? Because the 'everyone should go to college' federal money fountain of the 1990s+ caused college prices to go up 3x+ the rate of inflation - nice!
BOTH parties are complicit in this bullshit, by the way.
Your ability to turn every fucking thing into a political screed AND a 'sky is falling' narrative IS impressive though, I'll give you that.
Personally, I think the Orange Man is dumb as fuck, but I'd rather have his particular cadre of incompetents in charge than the VERY seasoned and professional grifters that were puppeting Mr Biden for 4 years (and, let's be honest, expected Obama to be followed by Her Majesty as well). Part of the reason he's won twice is that he's despised by the Insiders(tm) of BOTH PARTIES.
Better a government that can't shoot straight and has an oppositional media than a highly tuned corruption engine with a collusive media cheerfully telling us to stop asking questions, eat the bugs, and that there is no difference between men and women.
