    I think the point the comment above you was trying to make is that it isn’t the old generation that is fucking thr young generation harder, it is the rich that are fucking the young. The old may have had it better, but it was because the rich weren’t fucking them as hard.

      I feel fucked by the rich, but I feel more directly fucked by the people a decade or two older than me in management at the jobs I’m applying to. As much as I’d love for the US to be more socialist and have better workers rights, it didn’t for my parents and it doesn’t for me. The sole difference is that I feel excluded from society, despite toeing the educational line my whole life.

        Extend your reasoning. Why are the older people still there blocking the way? Because they’ve been unable to retire for a miriad of reasons orchestrated by those in power.
