This is what happens when parents don't discipline their kids.

so...they hate "boomers" because they are people who have things they want to defend?

The entire platform for these far-left wanna-be communists sounds more and more like the conversations I had with my children when they were under 12.

"Why can't I have ALL the toys that I want NOW?" "Because toys cost money. You will need to pick one you want and do some chores to pay for it."

"Why can't I have a PS4 and 19 games RIGHT NOW?" "Because money doesn't grow on trees." "This is SO UNFAIR!!!" <<<STOMPS FEET, RUNS AWAY>>>>

He thinks boomers will defend? Shit, wait until he gets a load of us Gen Xers.

Thou shalt not covet.

i can speak a little to this:

what james is trying to convey is that the system really supports two types of folks

those born smart. and those born with means.

the old adage goes; its not what you know, but who you know.

in my circle. its a bit of both.

smart people like talking with other smart people.

sergey brin and larry page met at stanford working on their PhDs for online search.

if that is not one of the most distinct circles of influence, i have ever seen, i dont know what.

bill gates, a young prodigy, met paul allen at harvard.

its what you know AND who you know.

the thing is. anyone that begins to understand data and money is going to make sure they always have money and success.

point in case.

i have excess funds, cus i was supposedly born smart.

i take that money and put it in real estate, cus im told. backed by census data,

that a large portion of a certain 'class' of worker, will be renting apartments.

so i go and find apartment buildings that i can afford, cus i was born smart.

and i use my 'smart-birth' money, to obtain things that make me money.

in my city. upwards of 80% of a certain workforce, rent for more than 15 years.

according to james, that would be, effectively, me enslaving his 'class'.

i dont have answers for this. this same sentiment is in japan, but less political.

but subtly, its why the 'tiny home' movement and living off grid is now popular.

i agree his 'generation' owns nothing,

but that doesnt mean, there is nothing for his generation to own.
