I think young people are believing a lie. There's this idea out there that younger generations have fewer opportunities than their parents. Not true. Not for the curious. There's been like 100,000,098 new opportunities created by AI in the past 12 months just waiting for someone like you to go do them. Don't look for your politicians to create economic opportunity - they will disappoint you. Look to technology - look to your own boundless curiosity - there's infinite whitespace here. You have more opportunities than your parents but they're not in factory jobs and pensions and college degrees and political speeches. They're on the internet. For the explorers. Go find them.

I think the gripe is not so much that are no opportunities, it's the idea that in order to have a decent quality of life it's necessary to have this grind mindset. Not everyone is built to be an entrepreneur. Not everyone wants to sacrifice everything else in pursuit of financial success. But there is sense now that if you don't then you cannot afford the necessities of life. Grinding to seize opportunities should be for those striving for the top. You want to be the best and get all the rewards that come with it? You work hard for it. For people who would otherwise be content with a secure mid tier job, an average house, food on their plate and quality time with their family; grinding should not be the expectation. But it is increasingly the reality of merely getting by.

Part of the problem too is that people are used to the quality of life that their parents had, which came at the end of a long life. They don't realize that this wasn't always the way it was. Considering how well-off boomers are compared to prior generations, this is a high bar to meet when you're young already.
