Gen Z is the generation that saw the shyt is hopeless, the system is broken and the people in charge are the ones benefiting the most from it. Millennials still thought if we played the game the right way we could still move up the ladder.
You say Gen Z acts like the world owes them something. Well guess what, previous generations used to have it as a goal to make things better for the following generation. The Boomers broke that promise, they sucked up all the resources left to them and then pulled up the ladder so nobody else could benefit. Every dollar that was out there to benefit society they have systemically taken out and put back into their own pockets and continue to do so. They are by far the most damaging generation to American society.
Boomers are literally dying in public office because they don’t want to release the stranglehold.
