I would say it was the educational complex, the universities and colleges that pushed the idea you needed at least an undergraduate's degree to have a "job", not a job. That you'd be raking in much more money having a degree, versus something icky like plumbing or carpentry.
And said colleges have raped (figuratively, not like Indiana Jones and South Park) generations of students.
Making a degree the 'low bar' needed for a good job. Pushing low-quality content (the 'Critical' studies, the very ones that comprise the "Critical Consciousness" that is Woke) that don't provide soft or hard skills (actually retarding them). Increasing the cost of tuition outside of the value it provides (see previous).
And worse - making indentured servants of students. How? Because of the high cost of tuition. Specifically, they keep raising the costs, mask it with "Student Loans" to hide how expensive it really is... and make the loan a permanent stigma - You can't even bankrupt your way out.

My company bought about 10 Lightnings when they came out-- someone had the bright idea to start using them in some field application. One of the executives drove one, realized how hard they accelerated and instantly realized that if they were put in the motor pool for general use 1) they'd get wrecked by leadfooted guys and 2) they'd constantly have to be rescued because the range is awful under load.
One of them's been parked in front of our building, plugged in, for about a year now. It's currently covered with snow.

The colleges eat the cost. Not taxpayers, but the colleges.
They did the whole too-big-to-fail thing. They somehow made the loans something that couldn't be bankrupted. They skyrocketed the 'cost' of the education because Pappa Government was their sugar daddy.
For so-called non-profits, they're sure raking in a lot of money.
And one other thing - they're pretending to be their own government. The various rape and assault trials, pretending to be a court without following the constitution and its rights. That should have been shut down right quick, and the perpetrators leading the kangaroo courts thrown into actual jail themselves.
It's basically RICO, but with a veneer of "teachers are godly", thus untouchable. Much like how the media portrayed Fauci.

He was paralyzed at the waist but lived for quite few years after that. His wife, all 90lbs of her, took care of him until he passed away. She died a week later.

I am not anti-at least the old-school college, where they at least tried to teach you something and not brainwash you. And I also understand for many it’s a cultural thing, and it is just simply part of who they are. I include myself in that.
But I think there are many paths out there and immediately going into massive debt and earning nothing for four years is not necessarily the best move particularly win they spend half their time trying to make you a Democrat.

A Fistful of Dollars.
Fun fact: Before its broadcast premiere, NBC got nervous about showing a movie about a gunslinger who shows up in a town and murders people for fun and profit. They commissioned a short prologue (which included Harry Dean Stanton) that set up Eastwood's character as a Government agent, sent to clean the town.

Knowing the history of military technology, the missile systems everywhere have always made me nervous when I think about them. Luckily no-one has ever used them, but rockets launching satellites fail all the time til recently. And stuff rarely works well the first time it is used. You kind of hope everybody's ICBMs are normally fully disabled. And what percentage of them would land anywhere near where they are supposed to go, never mind even launch? No government\ military is ever going to tell you they have doubts and I hope we never find out but I envision if it ever happened that missiles and bombs and misfires would be strewn all over the planet...

I suppose the pressure on the market may ease up as boomers pass on and their houses hit the market or get inherited by millennials.
But I've been lucky. For most people in my generation, home ownership is pretty difficult/unlikely. It's not so much about expecting to graduate and live in a mansion, but just knowing you'll never own so much as a small home like mine until it's too late to raise a family in it that makes them so resentful about it.
It's a pointless resentment. The US had growing prosperity in most generations since it's inception, but the Boomers were the last one. It's downhill from here, and hopelessness breeds anger. People would rather blame the person right upstairs from the basement they live in, and those people would rather sneer at the people in the basement, than the people they both voted for. Because blaming those politicians would mean they were both wrong about everything they believed.

"Knowing the history of military technology, the missile systems everywhere have always made me nervous when I think about them. Luckily no-one has ever used them, but rockets launching satellites fail all the time til recently. And stuff rarely works well the first time it is used. You kind of hope everybody's ICBMs are normally fully disabled. And what percentage of them would land anywhere near where they are supposed to go, never mind even launch? No government\ military is ever going to tell you they have doubts and I hope we never find out but I envision if it ever happened that missiles and bombs and misfires would be strewn all over the planet...

All true. But Boomers all voted for those same shitheads, and most of those shitheads were/are Boomers.
That's my point. We've had 75 solid years of truly reckless behavior. Nobody escapes blame for this mess. But everyone wants to, and so they point the finger of blame at one another while ignoring the three pointing back at themselves. It's utterly pointless and counterproductive.
But then, that's the point of the incessant propaganda, whether it's about age, or race, or gender, or class, etc. keep everyone at each other's throats, and you'll have them all at your feet.

So to get off generalizations about generations, which always pisses people off, no matter what you say, and no matter where. Generations aside the fact of the matter is what was considered lefty 50 years ago is far right today. That is the predicament we are in.
Someone once mentioned that Bill Clinton could never be elected today in a Democrat primary. That is the generational shift as bad as the left was before, and they were bad. There’s no sugarcoating that, what they respond today is more malignant. You can never throw in all of a generation as many of the youngest people are fighting against this. I look at Vivek, and I see him as Trumps VP. If I got odds, I would bet on it too.

I'm not giving them a pass because in the end the recent generations have problems that NONE of the generations before them had. The recent ones have no work ethic, they are entitled, mostly narcissistic, and don't know how to do shit. They don't build, they don't create, and don't know how anything works. The phrase make america great again triggers them, they lose their shit. What kind of mental fucking defect operates like that? Thats the kind of retard who steals the gun from an armed robber and puts it to their own head and says stop or I'll blow my own brains out.

I worked with "kids" in the factory. They got worse & worse as the years went by.
Wouldn't show up on time. Wouldn't follow the rules (yet, would be the first to bitch if *somebody else* didn't follow those rules!) Wouldn't cooperate when mgmt or senior personnel asked them, even after unusual situations...
I could go on. You get it.

Fact I just learned: Lowest temperature recorded in SC was -19F. That was at Caesar's Head in Jan, 1985.
Every state in the Union, save Hawaii, has had temperatures drop below 0F. Florida recorded -2F in Tallahassee in 1899.
