A particularly unsettling trend Galloway highlights is that today’s 30-year-olds often earn less than their parents did at the same age. He attributes this shift to systemic economic policies that have inadvertently transferred wealth from younger generations to older ones. He posits that young people should be outraged by this inequity, as it fosters a sense of shame and frustration regarding their own careers and financial wellbeing.
As a solution, Galloway advises young adults to engage in discourse around economic policies that affect their futures, urging them to vote for politicians who will prioritize their interests, such as offering affordable housing and improved educational opportunities. Rebuilding trust in societal structures is crucial to facilitate upward mobility.
