Millenials get the short end of the stick? Is it because FBA are the dominant population in the generation??

As a millenial I do feel our generation has gotten the short end of the stick. However I can't help but feel this is because this generation of FBA are more conscious than some generations before us thus we are seen as a threat to the system at large. Thus we are not allowed access to substantive economic security. Would love the family's thoughts whether you are a millenial or not.

    I would say no because the economic environment we are in today started when the Government started pushing all the New Deal folks out of the Federal Government. That's when the US turned to neoliberalism and started transferring wealth from the middle and working class to the rich at an accelerated pace. You mix that in with running the money printers at the Fed Reserve night and day causing a shadow tax on the populace...its no secret that this would be the result.

    The USA does not GAF about Black Americans like that. They only think about us to suppress our movements but the macro game they are playing is different than the internal politics. The US was playing an International game and their greed is now biting them in the ass. The country needs to print money to save the economy but can't because inflation is through the roof and increases in inflation will tank the economy. We are in a position where if the Gov't does nothing the economy is doomed but if they do something it's doomed too.

    Long story short, IMO millennials are getting the short end of the stick because the country is going back to the Gilded Age. The middle class that was built out of the New Deal was an aberration in US history not the standard. But instead of plunging existing citizens back into the grueling back breaking no union labor they are bringing in immigrants to be that indenture servant class.

    Another spot on assessment. You right about the aberration. This country only looks out for its citizens in capacities that will only serve the country at large. Even the homestead act I always speak of was to help settle the West quickly. Spot on again brother!!
