"MoNeY cAn'T bUy HaPpInEsS"

It sure as fuck can buy some sense of safety to focus on "wants", like children. The wealthy want the labor force to be born, yet are doing everything they can to suck them dry of every financial well-being they try to get. Then they got the gall to write these wedge pieces blaming a generation for not doing some fucking survival gymnastics to fulfill their gloom and doom future!

Sounds like the author is grumpy that they don't have grandkids...

"Survival gymnastics" is the perfect description.
