Just so you know, the new generation is investing earlier than the previous generation.
Gen Z is also outpacing millenials on home ownership https://www.npr.org/2026/05/15/nx-s1-5791499/gen-z-homeowner...
The idea that the latest generation is not benefiting from the current situation is in your head, not reality.

A has 97% of the wealth.
B has 1% of the wealth.
C has 2% of the wealth.
Your argument is that because C > B, C is benefitting from the status quo.
In the US, the median age for first time homeownership increased from 29 to 40 since the 1980s when the stat began being tracked. That is reality, not an exceptional anecdote that is so out of the statistical ordinary it warrants being paraded as a puff piece in a newspaper.
