You cannot blame CBs. I despise the current monetary policy as much as the next person but this is a function of society. We have stopped believing in “no pain no gain”. We think that everyone should be gifted a painless utopian existence in which nothing bad ever happens.

Darwinian forces always win.

I'm not sure you fully understand the experience of the typical young adult in this country right now. I'd say the phrase 'all pain no gain' is closer to reality. Compared with even the last generation (who had it pretty bad compared to the generation before them) the opportunity to have a reasonable standard of living is greatly reduced.
