Gotta minimize the generational transfer of wealth as much as possible, and consolidate in groups of entrenched power as much as possible. It's fine that millennials graduated college in debt, into a recession, a decade after the dot-com bust, and a decade before the covid crash. Take a decade to recover, and as soon as middle-class momentum builds they get slapped and put back in their place again. All while China is 996'ing us into irrelevance and eating our lunch.
