"I feel the need to explain something to the generation that does not remember, or never saw, a world where one person with a high school education could support a family of 5 comfortably.

"This was real. For millions of US families. It was *normal.*

"It was stolen from you."

@IAmDannyBoling And then, by the time Gen X started hitting the workforce in the US, a college degree was the price of admission for a job that had meaningful upward mobility. Worse, a huge chunk of those jobs had no "need" for those academic credentials beyond the tenuous "shows maturity/discipline" argument. But still, its requirement acted as an ever more expensive gatekeeper to prosperity.
