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.

Thanks for not making a snide remark.
I totally understand this. And ya, maybe I jumped the gun a bit with the work hard and get ahead idea. I know it's different. I know it's significantly more expensive and wages haven't kept up.
I guess what I'm responding to, from what I've seen from the younger group, is this lack of drive and this idea that it's not fair and I deserve more and it's the governments fault for all of it. The posted literally said the government has destroyed any chance at a decent standard of living after all.
That has been a common theme and I have worked with a lot of younger people.
