MODERATORS
Thanks for the citation - 52% is just barely a majority, but technically correct!
So uh, the rest of the article vibes pretty strongly with the OP. Millennials are worse off than their parents
The meme said that their parents in their thirties were buying homes, and they can't even afford dental.
The majority of millennials have bought homes.
More importantly, the overwhelming people in the US can afford dental.
You guys make up scenarios to push BS narratives. Then spam the word "capitalism" ignoring the fact that the majority of the world runs under capitalism.
If OP can't afford a house or dental then the meme is accurate to them and millions like them. Dental insurance isn't guaranteed, after all. Capitalism requires winners and losers, and losers don't get houses or dental insurance.
Like, my dude, there are Americans that can't afford to take $20 off every paycheck (and that shit only covers cleanings, hope you don't get a chipped tooth!)
Seriously, it's just a big strawman argument. The idea that a certain percentage of people own homes says nothing about the affordability of said homes. The percentage of millenials that own homes are consistently using drastically higher percentages of their income than previous generations. And the Healthcare crisis in the US speaks for itself. People arguing against this just want to dance around the topic and not actually argue the real point.
