Good afternoon. It's 3PM, Saturday, 11th January. The headlines: Los Angeles has declared a emergency as wildfires prompt fresh evacuation orders, with the death toll reaching at least 11. In Aberdeen, an extensive search is underway for two missing sisters. The Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, visits to bolster economic ties. Alerts have been raised over the dangers of flawed cosmetic surgeries.

Ugg this stupid opening sentence. An impression - or possibly a fear - that 20-somethings are still hanging about in the family home is based on fact, an influential think-tank has concluded.

Its not a tragedy that 2 generations of conservative government have torn down the social supports that supported young adults. Its not a logical and totally foreseeable outcome of skyrocketing banker bonuses, glacial development of affordable housing, and climbing cost of living combined with systemic destruction of national infrastructure like the and and . No, lets open with fear.

And the fear we open with Not that these young people suffering so much early in life will be harmed by it. But the fear that mom and dad wont get their empty nest soon enough.

The story should be that these smart, wealthy assholes who pride themselves on being smart and wealthy, didnt heed the decades of warnings and explanations about what was going to happen if their plans were carried out. Or worse, they understood and did it anyway.

The article rightly spends most of its time on the young and what theyre experiencing. But it talks about the challenges they face like its the weather. Some force that just occurred naturally. It doesnt have a cause. One can draw a straight line from cruel and stupid government policy and law to the situation described in this article. But one doesnt.
