You should look up late stage capitalism sometime  

Here is a thought experiment; instead of everyone starting out on equal footing in this great free for all called capitalism, imagine the bottom of the 9th.  Imagine every new need that needs to be fulfilled is rapidly done so by massive corporations that not only do so with brutal efficiency, but also with corruption and bribes to stomp out the small opportunist.  

Look I get it, you're either an old GenX or a Boomer, and you're gonna pull that ladder up behind you.  It's literally what you all will be known for!  

In the mean time, I'm an elder millenial who has served through an endless war, 3 "once in a lifetime" financial crisises, a pandemic that you morons are trying to indefinitely extend, and now I'm listening to you tell my why I should be happy making a fraction of what you made in your lifetime!  (Chart below)  Say this sh** to my face and I might just skin your ass.
