Blaming corporate greed negates your statement. Corporations have ALWAYS been greedy and trying to maximize profits. It’s nothing new and only in current times is is considered an excuse.
I can guarantee anyone that “can’t even afford to pay some of their bills” has made some very poor choices along the way and need to really look at a budgetary change.
Financially the foundational question is do you want to suffer and sacrifice a little for a long time or a whole lot when you get older. My kids are all in the same boat as everyone else in their early to mid 20s and they are all financially doing very well because they’ve always been disciplined and frugal enough to be in a safe position.

you're wrong about this. people *do* exist in circumstances where the only question is whether to pay the rent or buy groceries. maybe not your kids or their friends, but there are a lot of other people than them.
it's a (maybe unintentionally) insensitive attitude to carry.
