In a clip from the show, which aired in November of last year, the 68-year-old suggested that the generation didn’t want to work and if they did, they would for as little as four hours.

Goldberg also insisted that moving out and buying a property has always been hard and young people simply needed to 'get it done' like their parents, grandparents and great grandparents.

Noone wants to work - that's why they give you money to do it instead of the opposite.

Where I am, median house prices have risen 600% relative to median income since 1974 (around the time Goldberg would have bought a house). That means the deposit we drop up-front is the equivalent of her entire 30 year mortgage.

Don't get distracted by the intergenerational resentment though - no war but class war, and Goldberg is no ally of yours.
