It's really fucking weird for this article to not be pointed at Millennials. Not better, kind of worse actually, and very weird. Poor bastards have it worse than we did and they're starting to become the punching bag for no reason.

It's just the sign that us millennials have gotten old enough to no longer be the young adults that these wealthy fucks punch down on

Technically you're talking about zennials, or gen Z'ers however you want to refer to them. Millennials (1980-1999) are actually pretty well off in comparison to ~~anyone~~ most people born after Y2K.

I honestly don't want to think about how awful it's going to be for people born after 2010 when they reach adulthood.

Eh, I wouldn't say 'anyone', but rather 'most'. There are gen z in tech who made ridiculous salaries for years, salaries that dwarf the salaries of most in older generations. I mean, as an easy example I'm sure Big Balls and the DOGE boys made a killing fucking the government for Elon.
