This is one of my favourite go-to pieces to push back on generationalism: a strong reminder that economic insecurity today was also felt by many in other eras, too.

There *is* a difference today - we have cascading climate change events, and environmental pressures exacerbate nationalism and refugeeism in lockstep. We've also been going longer with lousy taxation of the rich and deeper debt loads. BUT!

We can still learn a lot from solidarity with struggles come before.
