My parents both grew up in poverty in disparate communities and both experienced potential food shortages.
Later in his early twenties my father was drafted. They also spent time doing bomb drills in elementary school because of the cold war, nuclear fallout was an actual worry.
>did I already mention that my and the later generations will face significantly less earnings than the generation of Boomers, and that income and wealth inequality also has risen constantly over the last decades?
I do worry about rising wealth inequality, but that is largely a factor of deficit spending and needing the fed to print money causing wealth transfer to the upper class. Unfortunately, most young people are all for the government spending even more money for various things which will only exacerbate the issue.

I dunno, the largest cohort of covid positive cases has always been the 20-30 age group by far.
“Unfortunately, most young people are all for the government spending even more money for various things which will only exacerbate the issue.”
The issue is not the amount of money that is spent; the issue is for what the money is spent. So many articles discussing the current bills in Congress simply stating the amounts of money that are allocated in aggregate with little if any discussion of the specific amounts within the bill. My skeptical mind thinks this is purposely done to mislead the public.
