      Honestly even your average tech bro isn’t doing as well as they “should” be. Mass layoffs and unreal churn in the tech industry mean that while tech bros are perhaps less affected by inflation than your “average joe” in some other sector, its still the ceos and that lot who are winning.

    Gen X already has a considerable amount of wealth. So, gen x.

    Gen z has the worst chance unless minimum wage doubles suddenly or something.

      In my country the gen x middle class has been absolutely destroyed by 15 years of austerity.

      The only people winning right now are the top 5% or so.

      This whole generation war is just more bullshit to distract from the ultra wealthy taking from everyone below them.

      Race, religion, sexuality, gender, generations. It’s all just to keep us divided while they take everything.

    I much prefer the inflation rather than the 5 years of unemployment I went through during the great recession

    I mean, the stats don’t lie. Gen X has retirement funds on pace to catch boomers. Millennials and Gen z have less than 3% of what gen x has for retirement.
