Zoomers were raised on fantasies of boundless potential and then invited to step into an adulthood where the rent devours half their income, healthcare is a luxury, careers are precarious, home ownership is near unattainable, and every institution looks more like a husk than a foundation.

They were told hard work would pay off, then watched the fruits of that work siphoned into the pockets of corporations and asset holders.
