It’s very difficult to read anything these days when everything is hyperbole. The subheadline talks about “generational wealth.” But then the article talks about something different:<p>> America is not just suffering from a wealth gap; America has the equivalent of a class apartheid. Our systems—of education, credentialing, hiring, housing, and electing officials—are dominated and managed by members of a “comfort class.” These are people who were born into lives of financial stability. They graduate from college with little to no debt, which enables them to advance in influential but relatively low-wage fields—academia, media, government, or policy work. Many of them rarely interact or engage in a meaningful way with people living in different socioeconomic strata than their own.<p>These people don’t have “generational wealth,” they’re just normal, middle class people. The median income of a married couple with kids is $120,000. If you live in say Georgia and go to UGA and maintain a 3.0 GPA, your tuition is $122 per semester: <a href="https://osfa.uga.edu/types-of-aid/undergraduate/scholarships/hope-and-zell-miller-scholarships" rel="nofollow">https://osfa.uga.edu/types-of-aid/undergraduate/scholarships...</a>. Between your parents and summer jobs, you can cover your housing costs and graduate with little debt. This is a life that’s accessible not to everyone, but to a large swath of the population that follows the success sequence (graduate high school, get a full time job, get married before having children).
