“Our expectations are so much higher today,” says Melissa Kearney, an economist at the University of Maryland whose research focuses on children and family. “Generations before us didn’t expect to have large houses where every kid had a bedroom and there were multiple vacations.”

We just shouldn't expect to have mansions for our many many kids? Fuck you. I don't have kids, am experienced in a well paying career and I can't afford a house at all unless I go somewhere that I can't find the kind of work I do in.

Fuck this out of touch shit. I'm so sick of these people who already got theirs telling the people who can't do the same that it's their own fault. This fucking article goes further than that suggesting it's worse than our own fault because we're better situated somehow.

Avocado toast ass argument. This country needs more guillotines.
