The movie is complete boomer apologia:

"Hey dad the economy is pretty bad right now, can I save for a bit before I move out?"

"THATS VANITY A TALKIN SON THE ECONOMY HAS ALWAYS BEEN BAD, YOU JUST TURNED 18 HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOW GTFO MY HOUSE"

"I dreamed I finally got a marginally livable wage and a shed to live in after 2 decades of slaving for mr shekelbert. But then I woke up"

We need to demand better. ITS ALWAYS BEEN LE BAD isn't a helpful answer
