The kids are outnumbered, but they arent loud and angry. Thats bizarre. If I were told to support other peoples parents because they screwed up their finances, and legally there was nothing I could do about it, I would at least get angry. Maybe even take to the streets in protest.
Why would the kids, who are promised sweet, sweet, welfare benefits by the state, take to the streets?
This.
Those of the younger crowd are just that, younger. They tend not to think in terms of decades and still have the false sense of being invincible. It is only after years of toiling away do some get a vague sense of something amiss. By then it is to late as they are nearing the time and age to reverse their role. It really is a self perpetuating problem. Poetic and sort of beautiful in a way.
