Saw this just now. You can change the dates and currency and write this about 🇨🇳. It grates with me when I see Western millennials talk about Chinese peers owning homes like it’s a result of good socialist policy, not just the exact same stroke of luck and timing as their Boomer parents enjoyed.

You can’t compare generations across countries; their economies aren’t at the same point of their development. A Chinese Millennial is a Western Boomer: born at the right time in the economic cycle to benefit from cheap prices at the start and rising prices later.

The same is valid Russia and in Israel too.
