The Economy Killed Millennials, Not Vice Versa - The Atlantic
'When a staid American institution is declared dead, the news media like to haul the same usual suspect before the court of public opinion: the Millennial generation. '
'Millennials tore up napkins, threw out mayonnaise, and mercifully disposed of divorce and Applebee’s before graduating to somewhat postmodern crimes: “Have Millennials Killed Serendipity?” With the national murder rate in long-term decline, it may even be said that Millennials are killing killing. '
'But according to a new report by economists at the Federal Reserve, this genre of news analysis is pure fiction. '
'The list of the deceased includes golf, department stores, the McDonald’s McWrap, and canned tuna. '
'The 80 million–plus people born in the United States between the early 1980s and the late 1990s stand accused of assassinating various hallmarks of modern life. '

Well basically what has happened is that rent-seeking older people have come to dominate the economy so much that most young people don't feel like they have real financial security.
We could randomly execute a percentage of the population every 5 years beginning at age 70 so that old people can pass on their wealth to the younger generations without it all getting sucked up medical treatments and elder-care services.
