I know a few millennial homeowners, and almost every one falls into one of two categories: they were gifted the home (or down payment) from a family member; or they married a Gen-X doctor in 2007 and bought right after the market crashed in 2008 and they've watched their home value quadruple since then.
That's it. Have family that's well-off enough, or marry someone that had money at the right time to exploit a financial disaster.
Clinton didn't endorse the incumbent. He endorsed Cuomo, New York's former governor who resigned in disgrace several years ago. Apparently Cuomo feels that enough time has passed since he resigned in disgrace that he can try starting up his career again.
I don't know why you think that. Giuliani and Bloomberg were both Republicans. Republicans have run New York for more than half of the last 30 years.
And even when we get Democrats, we end up with conservative Dems like Eric Adams out here promising to lock people up.

But "Vampire Money" is an absolute banger written specifically to make fun of all the other bands lining up to be on Twilight soundtracks while MCR turned down offers multiple times.
We read very different books. I thought the first half was hilarious, but it lulled me into a comfort of the absurdity and the banality that set up an absolutely devastating second half.

Dr. King’s policy was, if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That’s very good. He only made one fallacious assumption. In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none.

It reminds me of the prevalence of left-handedness in the US. If you look at a chart, left-handedness absolutely exploded in the early 20th century, going from 3% of the population up to 10%. But it's stayed at 10% for about 8 decades now.
No one actually thinks more of the population suddenly became left-handed and then stabilized. It was a combination of underreporting and forcing left-handed children to write right-handed.
Same as with any difference that can be hidden. We don't have more autistic people now; we're just better at recognizing that the guy that spent his entire life photographing snowflakes might've just lived before we had diagnostic tools or a cultural understanding of special interests and the autism spectrum.
My company instituted "Wellbeing Days." They marked three days throughout the year on everyone's calendar and said you should avoid answering calls or attending meetings on those days, instead focusing on personal reflection and development.
... so I stayed home and focused on developing my Elden Ring skills.
I've definitely had English essays that were like, "read the short story presented below and then explain how the author used literary devices to express their purpose."
