Millennials were promised a version of the world they never actually received. They accepted the unexpected realities they were faced with: sky-high rent, stagnant wages, and a housing market they had no access to. If there's anything millennials know how to do, it's pivot. Because they always question the status quo, there are very specific things people wouldn't be allowed to do anymore if millennials were in charge. Millennials keep pushing for structural changes that benefit every generation.
