Your generalizing re your parents and the previous gens sympathy.

Especially those of us who were poor as kids.

We know how hard it is. In 1968 a house was about twice a persons average yearly income, now? Forgot it. My son probably will never have the option. The. Again, I really didn’t either.

My son will probably never be able to own a house, may not live in a free country, will face runaway inflation and much more

I faced much in my time. Some way worse than anything my son will see

But those were instances. Moments I. Time. Hard, difficult, but fleeting after a while

What we are living in now is pervasive, all consuming and total greed stifling the younger generations and pulling what little safety nets we have for the old.

I grew up harder. But I also grew up easier. For instance I. The early seventies , you could get a full weight set for 18 bucks ( don’t ask how I know that )

Today that weight set is 300. I mean wages were WAYYYYY. Lower.

But when a house could be got for 20 grand , they didn’t have to be.
