The Age of Progress Is Becoming the Age of Regress — And It’s Traumatizing Us. Something’s Very Wrong When Almost Half of Young People Say They Can’t Function Anymore

2x? Try 3x. "When boomers were around the same age as millennials today, they held roughly 22% of the nation's wealth compared to Millennials' 7%, Fed data shows". I blame republicans 100%. When your entire platform is remove all rules it just means the rich will use their money to rig the game in their favor. And unlike the rules the government makes, none of the terms they set are designed to serve the populace, they're designed to do absolutely fucking nothing but make the rich richer. Capital concentrates in absence of rules. Resources are finite, the rich use their resources to acquire a greater % of a country's resources until they own everything. The no tax thing has been tried, Paraguay barely has any tax and all that happened is 50 families ended up controlling 90% of the country's assets. You really need to a braindead, frothing at the gob, barely able to tie your shoelaces moron to not be capable to foreseeing precisely how that policy plays out. Sigh
