Keeping pace with technology isn't an intergenerational hurdle. Our moms and pops had to deal with 8-track, VHS, DVD, CD, etc. They adapted just fine. Our struggle is completely economical. That same generation devised a way to steal our prosperity. Your mom, my pops are not to blame. The vast majority of baby boomers (even the assholes showing outright opposition to solving income inequality in this thread are not to blame) are not to blame. Those at the tippy top are to blame. The politicians who decided corporate interests are more financially beneficial are the ones to blame. I'm not even sure if I can blame the corporate interests themselves for utilizing a system that was goddamn near built directly for them to abuse.. Our government holds the overwhelming majority of the blame, not those that used a legal system to benefit themselves. Who the fuck wouldn't, right? A person's moral culpability reaches a certain point that even the most conservative person would surpass. That's the problem. Such a system shouldn't exist and none of us should be using it to justify outright theft.
Our political system preys on human nature. Some of us are perfectly willing to adopt that over a more compassionate form of business if it will increase our bottom line. IMO, that's disgusting
