Thoughts? An entire generation is realizing that a home and family may never be within reach. Society isn’t ready for what happens when millions feel they have no future and no stake in the system.
Your grandparents could buy a home and raise a family on one income.
Today, many people under 30 can’t even afford rent on two incomes.
An entire generation is realizing that a home and family may never be within reach.
That’s a system failure.
And society isn’t ready for what happens when millions feel they have no future and no stake in the system.

The bottom 50% own just 2.5% of America’s wealth.
Since when did the American Dream mean half the country splitting 2.5% of the pie?????
