I think this is not quite true or fair. As millennials, it seemed like we were just about the only generation seeing through the bullshit and weren’t benefiting largely from the system that the other gens were. We were alone, so of course we didn’t make much progress. Now we have help from gen z (and hopefully gen alpha in a decade or so), and with our powers combined we are able to start to affect real change!
It’s an exciting time. Millennials, don’t discount yourselves. We walked (felt like limping much of the time) so our Gen Z brethren could help us all run.
