What's really hilarious is that the boomers had "Social mobility". Single income households with excessive disposable income.

It was just meer luck that they grew up at the Perfect time. There was still "frontiers" to search for, and hire fresh grads for. When research didn't return "diminishing returns", etc.

Now? "Social mobility" practically doesn't exist. Cost of anything is too high if you started on the lower end to "work for your dreams".
