As a kid, my dad used to tell me stuff like that. He believed it too. He worked 2 jobs 6 days a week all his life to die in relative poverty.

People make wealth issues generational. It's not. It's a narrative to divide and conquer.

It's the rich vs the poor. It's always been.

My dad still works in his 70s and fights vehemently against any talk of making life easier for the younger generation. People are weird man.

Wise words.

The rich have power in money, but the poor have power in numbers. We can improve our lives by organizing and standing together. Unions are a great start.
