    The generational wealth gap isn’t about work ethic—it’s about economic warfare disguised as meritocracy. Boomers built equity on minimum wage jobs while zoning laws now prevent duplexes. Their Cadillacs cost less than today’s used Corollas.

    Social media didn’t create narcissism—it monetized it. The real hustle culture scam? Convincing kids to trade sleep for side gigs so landlords can buy third vacation homes.

    The system’s not broken. It’s functioning exactly as designed: extracting youth labor until retirement becomes mythological. But keep arguing about avocado toast—the banks love watching tenants fight over crumbs.
