How the US Is Destroying Young People’s Future | Scott Galloway | TED
In a scorching talk, marketing professor and podcaster Scott Galloway dissects the data showing that, by many measures, young people in the US are worse off financially than ever before. He unpacks the root causes and effects of this “great intergenerational theft,” asking why we let it continue and showing how we could make it…

I 100% agree with everything Mr. Galloway said. I’m a 32-year-old elementary ESL teacher, and teaching is extremely difficult with students who are overstimulated by their phones and tablets. It feels like every other word they say is from some TikTok trend, movie, or video game.

Scott Galloway has just described something that many, many people are beginning to realize: this country has been set up by the greedy and morally bankrupt to be a gerontocracy which acts as a money farm for the ultra-rich and massive companies. As I watched, I was amazed to see that I agreed with the things he said… every time. The US currently is draining the people who matter most– the next generation– of all their wealth. Through insane college prices (for an educated workforce), and inflation, and cost of living, etc., it’s causing futures to be destroyed. Hopefully these next elections will bring out our most outspoken, talented, and down-to-earth individuals who will wipe the slate clean of any horrendous problems which plague our country.

The answer is really quite simple.

2. They form the largest voting block in history
3. People find it notoriously difficult to accept change

I don’t buy his argument; it feels like it’s just a play for media attention. Whenever someone is called a victim, it seems to draw more eyeballs. That said, I think today’s youth have it better than we did back in the ’80s and ’90s. They have more tools and resources to succeed, way more than we ever did.

May 3, 2024 at 6:28 pm
Add the costs and impacts of climate change, ecosystem loss, resource depletion, biodiversity decline and toxic contamination, and the generational inequality becomes a single generation motivated by avarice committing a narcissistic act of sabotage. Because Scott’s data is bounded, it misses the inequality of the 19th and early 20th centuries, which was only disrupted by wealth destruction from depression, war and inflation. In essence, we had a reset, that benefitted a single generation, and who took full advantage of their democratic majority for self-enrichment and self-protection. That was the exception, because liberal democracy is inherently regressive, transferring nature into wealth, and wealth from bottom to top. So his talk was an exposition on inequality, but his fixation on opportunity stopped short of the necessary solution: equality of outcome.

I have heard Scott before and like his points. I am not optimistic as I see the reality of our world where the 1% only care about the 1% and will use any means to manipulate the other 99% to ensure they remain the 1%. The USA was an anomaly for 70 years, and now we are returning to the same class/power based structure as everywhere else. Good luck moving somewhere else, as this is the current foundation of our entire human civilization.

Tell all this to the previous generations who had to go to war and watched family members never come back. Now I call that a future destroyed, wouldn’t you say. Oh and the house these young people can’t buy? Go look at midwestern towns where they can find a nice fixer upper for cheap, the kind a lot of us had to start out in. Or how about a prefab house under $30k from Amazon — with prices getting cheaper by the year. These young people can move to these inexpensive towns now because of the invention of something previous generations could only have dreamed about: the Internet and remote work. No Prof Galloway, the kids are alright. (One more thing…exactly where does our social contract — or any social contract — ever make the claim that each generation will do better financially than the previous generation? Not to mention “better” is a relative term since an inexpensive Honda Accord today is far “better” car than many far more expensive cars bought by their parents and grandparents.)

Awesome points, and I would add, which he didn’t touch on, was that people do love their kids, but only theirs and believe they are in a bubble. When we stop thinking about community is when we think we can buy our way out of social situations that those with money create.
Only the very rich can ride every problem. Even if you are upper middle class, your kids cannot buy a home. Have 3 kids from the 1980s? Each one gets their own house? Nope. Unless you have $2million lying around, you won’t be able to help them much.
It involves giving a crap about society, and apparently, that is not on. So, an action would be, looking beyond personal enrichment to the consequence on society, and how that affects your kids and then electing those who say this can change and in which way.

Saying social security is a wealth transfer is ridiculous. Social security keeps old folks out of poverty. We should always opt for universal programs – the reason social security is not garnering enough money is because we are taxing less share of the wealthy because the cap on social security taxes are at something like 160k. If we removed this cap and increased the tax, we’d be solvent.

We can’t have the same quality of life the older generations had, because they destroyed our purchasing power, anyways I’m done ranting, thank God my family got land and we don’t have to be in debt because of our incompetent older politicians.

Re: minimum wage and housing costs, he doesn’t mention probably the single most important contributor: **Mass Immigration**. That’s where the big squeeze happens– a rise in supply labor (lower wages) with a concomitant increase in demand of housing (cost real estate).

I disagree with some of this. I disagree that government works, in the way he means. Our agencies work. We don’t have “one person, one vote” and we have a Electoral College, and so every branch of the federal government is broken. I AM okay with his reapportionment idea of tuition bail outs. It sounds well-considered on the surface. Also, I disagree with his whole purpose of education, even if I like his direction. I disagree with him about Zuckerberg, because kids aren’t on FB. I’m ambivalent about kids on the net, so I’m open.
I’m with him about Pelosi.
I don’t think most of us romanticize obesity.
I DO think it’s time we shifted to income-based affirmative action.
The rest? Spot on, and a lot of what I’ve circled around for years.

If nothing ever gets done about these problems then there is something very sick about this country. In either case, we desperately need this change lest we risk losing future generations or even losing a functioning society.

No, Biden should make the school loan loan-shark-like rates and accelerated debt calculations totally illegal. If student debt repayment was calculated to begin 6 months after graduation, at a set low percentage of interest (none of this “compounding” nonsense), and then divided into 120 payments spread over 10 years, this would go a long way to making it possible to repay those loans.

End Usury. I dont own a home or have apartment. I create electronics and jewelry. I save and invest, and I still am heavily struggling living with Elder who actually understands things like inflation and knows its not our generations fault and knows its more the Baby Boomers generation fault who spent beyond their means and didn’t save or invest beyond 401k and pensions and social security which likely wont exist when I turn 62+ because of radical and illogical money printing. My taxes do not even pay for the government. It pays the interest ( usury ) to Banking Elite that the Fed loans to the government. People need to figure it out that they are being suckered into Usury and transferring wealth from young to old in a thieving way since most of us wont ever see it. End Usury.

Social security is not opt in, if you pay into the system that is supposed to be your money. It is not designed as a wealth tax.
What is more fair is to eliminate SS totally and instead for young people do privatized mandatory tax free savings accounts.

The first house we bought in 1969, San Luis Obispo, CA., cost us $19,900.00 with a $5000.00 down-payment gift from my father-in-law but by 1977 we had only been able to pay down only $1500.00 of the principal. We sold it for $38,900.00 and bought a house in Wilmette, IL. for $42,000.00 as that was the least expensive we could find. Both of our incomes could barely handle the payments. We struggled all our days and worried all of our nights as to how we would make it. Well we did and put all three of our children through college without getting a hand-out from anyone – indeed we both contributed to our charities! Now, at 81, we live month to month on our Social Security checks because there was nothing left to put into any kind of savings.
Materialism and racism are the culprits and they have been eating into the vitals of America since they were imported from Europe and then America perfected them! Racism and materialism, cancers wrecking havoc and feeding on each other, have and will continue to bring America to its knees. Perhaps then, it will see that UNITY, not freedom, has been our greatest asset for it gives meaning to what America has and can still do. All the world has come to our shores – – – WE ARE THE WORLD in microcosm. If we do not get our house in order, the world will weep at our tragic end and the loss it represents and our enemies will applaud! Run, Run, Run when you hear it’s free – cause it ain’t. Whoever, wherever they came from, whatever your neighbor looks like, just remember God so loved them that He created them – just as He created you; so just love them.

I remain skeptical of anyone who, before a vast audience, vehemently advocates for societal reforms and, with tears welling up, using his family’s safety and others as his reason of concern. I recall a time when a mining OCE, who had previously emphasized the urgency of tasks regardless of safety concerns during pre-shut meeting, later confided in me that the immediacy of completing the job was paramount. Safety out the window. Tears the previous day about family. Lies.

I agree with almost everything but getting rid of social security. We could still have it for even future generations if we just lowered $ to the military. FDR started it because moat people just won’t save enough $ to retire. You get rid of it & you’re putting most elderly out on the streets. Even with it, the elderly are the 2nd highest homeless population in San Diego because of the insane rising prices of rent! As for people having kids, it’s not for everyone. Some people are happier without them. Kids take time & money. Having been in education most of my life, I have seen way too many messed up kids from people who were totally clueless on how to raise them. Some selfish or trying to be their kids friend instead of being a good parent, etc. We need to have Child Development & basic parenting skills taught in HS!

What’s so wrong and bad about hardships? They help you grow and define your character. You learn in life to appreciate what you do have through not being able to acquire things easily. Handouts, freebies, etc. tend to be worthless. These aren’t the hardest times America has ever faced. Be strong and don’t live in fear. Don’t cry defeat just because of a struggle. Humankind is helping humanity grow now, more than ever in our history. Now is the best time to be alive.

It brings tears of joy to my heart seeing this video exist. So much of this can be traced back to fall out from war and baseless fears. Joe McCarthy planted the seed, Ronald Reagan allowed it to flourish. We’re now living in a world, where it’s automatically assumed that every penny of corporate profit is earned simply because it came into existence. The toxicity of this mindset is overcome only by its sheer idiocy.

I dislike Galloway for a number of reasons, and this is a desperate deep state populist proposal because his zionist cohorts are scared of losing power to a younger generation that is more open to actual socialist policies. Note that he doesn’t mention healthcare at all in his presentation, and yet it is one of the biggest issues/concerns for the younger generations. Unlike multimillionaires like galloway who can afford the best healthcare, folks who are just getting by have little or no access to quality healthcare. We need a nationalised healthcare system that eliminates the profit motive
