Bah, rants of lame old men around here.
I'll talk about one reason specifically why the younger generation is pissed off and should be upset about the way things are going:
Entry level salaries for University grads are not rising proportionately to cost of living, while CEO's salaries are increasing exponentially.
Think about the cost of a house. In the 80's, you old farts probably bought your brand new baby for 2-3x your base salary (my father personally made 35K and paid 67K for his house).
Now, us on the other hand are looking at 4x-5x the amount on a normal entry level salary and that's for a ****ty condo. More people than ever are getting stuck in the renter's rut, unless they are married / have generous parents.
