Giving rich assholes more credit than they deserve: this advice is from the 90s. Boomers had to tighten their belts, pick up extra shifts, and scrimp and save to get a down payment for a "starter home". If someone one is a fucking idiot who doesn't understand anything about the economy for the last 30 years, they tell their kids and grandkids to do what they did...there's no such thing as a systemic issue, all you need is grit and give the manager a handshake yadda yadda yadda.
