Statistically they don't, however. They come into a job market that is worse than previous generations, with debt that is higher than previous generations, to a society with a cost of living that is higher than previous generations and with jobs whose pay is, on average, lower (in proportion to cost of living and inflation) than previous generations. Not only that, but education costs are skyrocketing compared to previous generations while education requirements for entry level positions are increasing. Simply put, newer generations might have more opportunities in some respects, but they have less in a lot of other respects. Side: for

You probably base that on technology but it's actually not true. Just a few decades ago a person without a college education could still afford to buy a house, cars, and raise multiple kids. A basic middle class family was within the reach of anyone getting a full time job. Now it takes two adults with college educations and full time jobs and a lifetime of giant debt just to afford the most minimal of houses, and they have to put off having kids until they're almost too old biologically to do it and then they have as few children as possible. There will always be exceptions. But the vast majority of sheeple are told they can be anything they want, and they believe it, and when they're yoked to the workforce and family and just can't get ahead and complain then they're told lies about politics to keep it going, or, they get blamed for not working hard enough or having discipline.
