The opportunity is the part you just keep denying. Those same opportunities ain't there and y'all just can't comprehend it.
They just refuse to accept that the same opportunities aren’t there.
Hell, we could simply point to the fact that manufacturing vanished from the USA, an entire cohort of jobs that brought many boomers to the middle class, but that is simply a fact, not a feeling.

Conclusion
The results of this elucidating simulation, which dovetail with a growing number of studies based on real-world data, strongly suggest that luck and opportunity play an underappreciated role in determining the final level of individual success. As the researchers point out, since rewards and resources are usually given to those who are already highly rewarded, this often causes a lack of opportunities for those who are most talented (i.e., have the greatest potential to actually benefit from the resources), and it doesn't take into account the important role of luck, which can emerge spontaneously throughout the creative process. The researchers argue that the following factors are all important in giving people more chances of success: a stimulating environment rich in opportunities, a good education, intensive training, and an efficient strategy for the distribution of funds and resources. They argue that at the macro-level of analysis, any policy that can influence these factors will result in greater collective progress and innovation for society (not to mention immense self-actualization of any particular individual).

No, they only doled that kind of cash out directly to Wall Street to keep the stock market from crashing, so....you're welcome.

Wow. You’re telling me that some shitards lucky enough to have rich daddies had the edge over me? No fooling.
I knew that when it was happening.
Talent is never sufficient. But as an old musician once told me, the Muses like talking to you when you are at work. Talent plus work plus luck equals success. An excess in one can overcome a deficit in another. And vice versa.
A talented lucky frick can fail if lazy.
A talented hard working frick can succeed even if unlucky.

Is this really how you feel about every person who got one of those checks? That’s damn near every teacher, fireman, soldier, police officer, office drone, plant baw, factory worker, retiree? All of them are losers?

Didn’t social security recipients just get an extra check, too? My mom was saying something about it, but I wasn’t paying attention

What's the famous saying? Luck is when preparation meets opportunity?
There's no preparation about when you are born.
Just because it's "easier" doesn't mean it's easy. I don't know why you old frickers take it so personally that economic conditions were really, really good when you were coming up. That's great, celebrate your luck and take advantage of it.
It's like people who think they are calling someone out when saying "you only got this job because you know X"
Yeah, no shite, I put enough work in the relationship to build enough goodwill and trust for a favor. That's not free.

Because of you entitled boomer fricks. Y’all fricked everything up and are blaming the younger generations for not working hard enough.

Bingo.
Now these young twits want the government to spend trillions to pay for their loans.
As if inflation was not high enough already.
Losers.

Call yourself an outlier then.
Statistically the early millennial generation had their wealth growth and careers wiped out in 2008, which was then followed by another financially destructive event in 2020, when everyone was finally getting their feet under them and later millennials were starting to gain movement with their careers.
I consider myself to be lucky since I am in medicine.
Despite that blessing, I still recognize how daunting the situation is for housing among other things, and I make significantly more than the average.
You keep posting the “18% APR” thing and I would trade anything for the housing market you had in the 80s.
If I, in medicine, am completely put off by the housing market, the majority of my generation is fricked.
I have repeatedly posted graphs and statistics showing how favorable it was for those coming up in the 70s and 80s and how absolutely dismal it is for those in the 2000s generation.
Y’all continue to act like it’s a boot-strap situation. It isn’t.

But most “older people” are not high earners. To me the guy who picks up my garbage, the cop who directs traffic at my kids school, the guy who fixed my AC last week, my retiree mother in law..they aren’t losers, but they all got those checks. Many might not have needed it, for those that did, I’m glad.
