    A majority definitely don’t. The stats I’m seeing put it at around 45% for millennials, and under 35 it’s just under 40%

        Thanks for the citation - 52% is just barely a majority, but technically correct!

        So uh, the rest of the article vibes pretty strongly with the OP. Millennials are worse off than their parents

          The meme said that their parents in their thirties were buying homes, and they can’t even afford dental.

          The majority of millennials have bought homes.

          More importantly, the overwhelming people in the US can afford dental.

          You guys make up scenarios to push BS narratives. Then spam the word “capitalism” ignoring the fact that the majority of the world runs under capitalism.

            If OP can’t afford a house or dental then the meme is accurate to them and millions like them. Dental insurance isn’t guaranteed, after all. Capitalism requires winners and losers, and losers don’t get houses or dental insurance.

            Like, my dude, there are Americans that can’t afford to take $20 off every paycheck (and that shit only covers cleanings, hope you don’t get a chipped tooth!)

      Okay, the fact that Lemmy (which owes it’s popularity to the fact that reddit killed third party apps) thinks this is ridiculous.

      I can’t wait for Lemmy apps to come out that let me ban keywords. I swear you people invent scenarios to rage over.
