Writing it like you did implies that a magical solution exists and we are all maliciously withholding it from you. It does not and we are not.

I disagree with the notion that that's what their word choice implies. Also, there doesn't need be magical solution that's not being implemented for there to clearly be a severely heightened level of precarity in the economy that has a hugely negative impact on people who haven't had time to build a financial safety net, build their careers, or buy a house when it was feasible, in large part due specifically to aggressive, malicious, sometimes coordinated extractions of rent and land value

Writing that like that makes you sound like one of those “I didn't get help when I was younger so why should anyone else get help now?” types who highlight their own entitlement and luck by trying to frame others as entitled.

You might not be, but it sounds that way to me.

And if you think this knee-jerk reaction is unfair, let that be a lesson to you! :)
