This is because the 1% and/or republicans have been:

• chipping away at the middle class and below through wage stagnation
• taking away healthcare
• making universities extremely expensive while also raking in the bucks through their sports contracts. If they're separated, then they're even more of a piece of shit. They did that on purpose.
• price fixed rentals which makes it very hard for younger people to get homes as investments for themselves. It also keeps them enslaved to the corporate landlords
• corporations bought up all of the housing and either rent it out as airbnbs/homes or tore them down to make "luxury" apartments that they price fix.

Gen A is fucked.
