The one thing I didn't do was bitch and moan about the price of everything. And how it's everybody else's fault.
Do I think the government could do better? Yeah absolutely. But I'm also responsible for my own choices and I try to make the best of them.
I don't see why that's so hard to understand.

Real wage growth has quadrupled since 1980 while housing prices have increased almost 9x. There's a valid complaint there.

I don't think this is the governments fault entirely however, but I don't think the solution to re-engage people under 30 is "Pull up your bootstraps/work yourself to death". I say this as someone with a full-time career that does consulting off the side of my desk 20h+ a week.

Not everyone is ADHD enough to manage a ton of different clients.
