Younger people don't want things to just be given to them ray, they want the chance that generations before them had. Younger generations are ****ed. There are no manufacturing jobs for them and the blue-collar work force is shrinking as jobs continue to be shipped overseas. Unskilled jobs and jobs that don't require a degree pay enough for high school students to have spending money and that's about it. Most end up feeling like their only option is to go to university since almost every job requires a college degree now. That degree costs them, on average $30k and, when they get it, they're lucky to get a job that pays $25-30k a year before taxes. Company loyalty doesn't exist anymore and management positions are overloaded with a work force that was supposed to retire years ago. Their only chance to make more money is to change jobs every 2-3 years. All the while, they scrap together barely enough to make it by and wonder if they'll ever be able to retire since they can't afford to start retirement planning. They look at the housing market and many find that they'll probably be renting their whole life because houses are way overpriced, bought by out of country investors and left vacant or to rent, or bought out of speculation to flip.
If you take a sincere look at younger generations, you'd realize how ****ing bleak things look. It's no wonder the calling for things to be different.
I'm not saying that there aren't entitled *******s in that group, but that there's a high degree of fatalism and wanting to at least have a chance when all they see is a hopeless future.
