    We have plenty of things to be old grumpy grouches about.

    “Those banks ruined the American dream and we bailed them out!”

    “Fossil fuel companies successfully lobbied the government to allow them to poison our planet in the name of profit!”

    “Those Disney crooks consolidated all media and destroyed independent creative ventures!”

    “Back in my day we could afford a house if we saved 10 years of earnings for a down payment and then took out a loan eventually totaling twice the value of the purchase price. You kids have it easy with your rental sleeping pods and low-monthly rate outdoors park subscriptions. You don’t even contribute to furniture or clothing industries because you don’t own a place to put any!”
