"some history" lol all you're doing is describing things as Not As Bad As The Great Depression

    It's a different situation but I don't think 'not as bad' really works here. The average house during the 30's was only twice the average wage, you could absolutely support a family on a single income. Other things were bad, like the unemployment rate, but it was temporary.

    The issue in this post is that what we're dealing with is 'life' being unattainable for the majority of people. For people in their 20's now it's always been that way. They can't move out, they can't get an education, they can't get a career going, it's grim.
