Gold Spoons, Dirt Spoons

In South Korea, "Gold Spoons" are what we Americans would call "Silver Spoons," and "Dirt Spoons" mean "no spoon at all."  Anyhow, younger Koreans are fed up with a society where neither right-wing nor left-wing politicians are interested in helping them achieve a better future:

"'If I try hard enough and get a good job, will I ever be able to afford a house?' said the 25-year-old, who lives in his small, cluttered room where clothes were piled on the bed. 'Will I ever be able to narrow the gap that’s already so big?'

The concept of dirt spoons and gold spoons, as those from better-off families are known, have been around for many years but exploded onto the political scene in recent years, undercutting support for liberal President Moon Jae-in.

Moon came to power in 2017 on a platform of social and economic justice. Yet halfway through his five-year term, he has little progress to show the country’s youth who have borne the brunt of deepening inequality."

Is there any wealthy country these days where people are generally optimistic about their economic futures?  I can't think of one.  Something something "lives of quiet desperation" something.

Thanks, Capitalism!
