We live in an age of generational turmoil. Baby-boom parents are accused of clinging on to jobs and houses which they should be freeing up for their children. Twentysomethings who can't afford to leave home and can't get jobs are attacked as aimless and immature.

Wir leben in einem Zeitalter von Generationenunruhe. Baby-Boom-Eltern werden vorgeworfen, sich an Jobs und Häusern festzuhalten, die sie für ihre Kinder freigeben sollten. Zwanzig Jahre, die es sich nicht leisten können, ihr Zuhause zu verlassen und keine Jobs zu bekommen, werden als ziellos und unreif angegriffen.

Bill Cosby

You buy a house and you get it checked out and you feel like you've kind of made your mark here in some way. And then an act of God just comes up the coast and has the potential to just completely wipe it clean. Weather like that is certainly humbling.

My generation's parents told their children, 'Become an accountant, a lawyer, or an engineer; that will give you a solid foothold in the middle class.' But these jobs are now being sent overseas. So in order to make it today, you have to do work that's hard to outsource, hard to automate.
