We aren't asking for much just the same as what those before us had.
Same minimum wage to housing cost to living cost ratio
Same oppertunities for promotions and even starter jobs
They had houses because those who no longer needed them sold them instead of hoarding them to raise the value (which they could have), they had money because their CEOs gave the employees raises instead of only giving themselves a raise (which they could have)
They have goverment jobs because politicians stepped down instead of keeping the jobs for themselves (again they could have)
They were given these oppurtunities by those before them, yet they deny them to those who came after them.
My own grandfather still lives in a four bedroom house in a school neighborhood near a park. His grandchildren are all adults. My widdowed mother was homeless with two children under 5 years old, never sold her his house. His other granddaughter can barely afford rent on a two bedroom apartment in an unsafe neighborhood with both her and her husband working hard. Said granddaughter's mother sold a nice three bedroom house to a stranger (kept the vacation cabin) but was kind enough to offer to let the four of them live in a mold infested barely liveable trailer on the property before it was sold (and yes they had to pay rent costs). The child born there was hospitalized and even stopped breathing due to FOUR flu strains at once while living there.
