Youth Unemployment

The more that the young are unemployed, the more than the long-term stability of capitalism is threatened. It’s not just the U.S., but in fact most of Europe as well, that is dealing (or not dealing more like it) with this problem. If even just getting a decent job requires knowing the right person in upper management, that dooms a lot of kids (like myself) who did not grow up rich or have connections coming out of college. If you tell working and middle-class kids that they have no hope of rising in the world, you undermine the economic system you claim to hold dear. Of course the real economic system the rich hold dear is plutocracy so they don’t care, even though this is very much a solvable problem with government intervention into the economy.
