My new video takes the meme's claims one by one, starting with "a family could own a home." On social media, many young people say things like, "Most people don't live in houses because it's too expensive." And today's homes are much bigger and twice as likely to have central air, dishwashers, garbage disposals, etc. "We have a lot more things and we don't have to work as hard to get them," says Michel. On to the meme's claim that when I was young, "a family could afford to send their kids to college."
