Many of today’s young people enjoy a world of largesse given to them by their parents along with a level of ease provided by innovative technology that helps manage their lives.
They possess iPhones and computers (created by billionaires), engage endlessly with Instagram (launched by a billionaire), receive everything imaginable through Amazon (owned by a billionaire), travel via Uber (another billionaire) while using apps (more billionaires) that deliver their food, help them romantically, calculate their steps, monitor sleep, and enhance just about everything else in their lives.
When such a glorious life is facilitated by prosperous parents, billionaire tech geniuses and successful entrepreneurs, it seems a ridiculous irony that the politicians they enthusiastically endorse are preaching socialism and condemning individual achievement and wealth.
The coddled lifestyles afforded to these young people cannot be supported by their parents forever, so rather than working harder to maintain such a splendid existence — which is an anathema to most of them — they blindly support politicians: Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Sens. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., as well N.Y State Rep. Zohran Mamdani, D-Dist. 36, (now running for mayor of New York) to name a few.
