Nah.

Some people had influence on it.

But there's not enough "good" spots left and the nepo babies will always get theirs.

The more wealth inequality worsens, the less social mobility there is. A rich idiot like trump can do literally everything wrong but still wind up on top due to generational inertia.

Meanwhile someone that busts ass their whole life, can barely beat "lifestyle inflation" where they can't provide the same level of lifestyle for their kids despite being in a higher earners bracket than their parents.

That stall can kill an entire civilizations drive.

If there's no reward for work, everyone does just enough to not get in trouble. It doesn't sound like a big deal, because we're living thru it so it's "normal". But it's also undeniable that it's not working out well.
