Some of the proposed "solutions" in this article are legitimately absurd.

Rather than addressing the needless and fraudulent increases that the older corporate elites have forced on us regarding housing prices, education prices, and medical prices, this article tells us:

"Just work longer to cover these expenses."

Just work longer? Lmfao. Ok, so firstly my boss doesn't pay overtime, and if you don't work extra, he fires you and replaces you with some new person who eventually won't work out either.

Then, this article literally admits that younger Americans are.... dying younger! So, not only do you need to work until 70, according to this article, you might not even make it to 70.

How about this: come up with a political solution that solves NIMBYism and corporate greed/cronyism (which are the causes of all the price increases).

If you don't come up with a political solutiob, then you eventually will see some Americans expat themselves to SE asia or a campground in Yellowstone. Those will be the lucky ones.

The unlucky ones will either die of a heart attack at their desk, or a drug overdose trying to push through the pain at work.
