They do not.
This has been shown since the Great Recession when Millennials had their careers neutered and that discussion was dismissed.
That's why they have to focus on things like "the newest Iphone" and have created a meme around it, ignoring the big picture.
Nobody wants to admit their path was easier than others, especially in America with our collective psyche and bootstrap culture.
And their other auto-response is to claim anyone pointing out the issues is unsuccessful, ignoring the actual success of that person

Almost like...creating an artificial economy built on a foundation of printed money has serious negative consequences

Sure.
I get told I have TDS for saying my biggest criticism of Trump is his leftist economics as seen by his preference for massing spending-printing. The underlying point is what you said.

Including the people whining about Boomers. This "nobody gets our generation" conversation is as old as dirt.

That depends on the generation
Very few have had the negative impacts that the millennial generation has. This board is dominated by millennials and Gen X, so you get their analysis-experience more amplified than others.

My son just bought a very nice house in a very nice neighborhood. Most of his friends are also buying nice houses in nice neighborhoods.

What we need to do is grow our own labor force. The school where I work is partnering with a trade school. Our seniors can take classes at the trade school while finishing high school. They can go into on the job training right out of high school making 20 to 40 dollars per hour in skilled programs like construction.

As a supporter of Trump, this is the most understandable criticism. Nobody wants to be the one that rips the bandaid off and make current people's life harder in order to give the next generation's life a better life.
It doesnt get you elected and it history never remembers you fondly.
The ICE thing is the closest action to ripping the bandaid off. It would decimate me...I build houses...but if I have to do my own framing and hang my own drywall id do it.

You’re a Neanderthal…. the PoTUS doesn’t control Budget legislation, Congress does. Neither does he control the M2 supply.

I flip houses in the side and my dad has been doing it for 40 years. If you go back to the 70’s and 80’s, most construction crews weren’t made up of illegal immigrants. That has been a relatively recent trend and I can assure you there are plenty of Americans coming out of high school who don’t want to go to college but can make more money learning a trade skill. As a matter if fact, the state where my wife teaches is offering trades to high school students for free and can graduate high school with no debt and 50-75% ready for the workforce

This is such boomerthink(Xers are just boomer light). "My son did it so everyone's son should"
To have a functional society, you need the bosses and you need the workers. You need the ones giving directions and the ones taking direction.
If your worker class becomes the serf class, youll get revolution

I was responding to the literal arguments made in OP, bubba.
Their argument was QE-based.
I responded in kind.
Again, the irony.

It’s disturbing how some of you miss the whole point running to your tribe.
“Obama!”
“But Trump”
Republicans….Democrats…
When are you going to hear what he’s saying which is it was both parties protecting the rich and influential at the expense of the rest of us?

Because construction foreman and major home builders like cheap labor and they are used to getting it

Correct.
No generation is as deluded as the millennials.
quote:
On average, survey respondents said they would need $1.2 million in the bank and a salary of $284,167 per year to be happy. But averages can conceal major differences among respondent groups. Here are the actual results broken out by each generation:
Generation Z: Annual income of $128,000, net worth of $487,711
Millennials: Annual income of $525,000, net worth of $1,699,571
Generation X: Annual income of $130,000, net worth of $1,213,759
Boomers: Annual income of $124,000, net worth of $999,945
Theyll forever be miserable and blaming everyone else.
