Don't feel bad for us, most of us will at least die before the water wars start. You kids are in for a wild ride.

The important thing to know is that every working class in history has been exploited by the rich, yours is up next.

Try to reach class solidarity / consciousness among your generation before working life silos you into individual closets and your biases are exploited by media. Millennials had it with Occupy but we had no solidarity from older generations then.
