When GenX were kids, both parents had to work, yet standards of living hadn't improved. It's not an intergenerational conflict. It's intergenerational mental illness caused by a top-down capitalist system that doesnt work to serve the public, in fact, captures and repurposes public-serving government.

Watching today as SCOTUS scrambles to justify doing what our plutocrats (their leashholders) want instead of what is just or what would serve the public.

Thanks to the internet, the proletariat is aware of all the lies, the mistruthes and fables we used to justify trying to work hard for a seat in Heaven, or upward mobility, or an honest wage. Those were all cons, and we know now we can't trust our bosses to treat us fairly. In fact, they're actively trying to automate us to homelessness, which they're then looking to criminalize.

basically a return to slavery, ultimately. actual slavery (vs wage slavery). as you say, trying to criminalize being homeless. as i type this, my states is hearing arguments about whether it’s ok to fine and arrest people for sleeping outside even if there is nowhere else they can sleep. in hawaii they banned using plankets and umbrellas while sleeping, regardless of weather. and so on.
