I'm ambivalent. The tuition bubble was fueled by loans, and this is a temporary fix for breaking the model by saddling the next generation middle class with debt when they need to buy houses and stuff and pay taxes. It's ugly, but nothing new.

Ultimately, it's buying votes, and boomers are freaked that their votes aren't the ones that politicians are buying first anymore. Millennials can point to countless boomer entitlements that fuck them, and can feel justified saying "Yeah, it's not exactly fair, but fuck you we need it."

Boomers ran the table, and now Millennials will, and it will continue to be rationalized by those running the table, because the difference between buying votes and giving the people what they want is very hard to pin down.

In this light, I see wokeism as a no-less-justifiable generational flex or cultural unionization as the boomers counter-culture revolution in the 60s.

It's Millennial time.

As a GenX, I feel like I have two friends that don't like each other because they are too similar.
