Scroll TikTok, Instagram, etc., you see the same message: "Young people today can't get ahead!" One popular meme says when baby boomers like me were young, "A family could own a home, a car, and send their kids to college, all on one income." On social media, many young people say things like, "Most people don't live in houses because it's too expensive." They tell young people: Not only does capitalism foster greed, inequality, etc., but it doesn't even deliver the goods. On to the meme's claim that when I was young, "a family could afford to send their kids to college."
