If capitalism isn’t working for young people maybe the young people should try working.

He’s right. Many young people don’t see any hope for the future and are miserable in the present. They feel like they have done everything that they were told would build success and yet are finding none of it. They are looking for someone who promises change and hope, whether that be Trump and other populists on the Right or people like Mamdani on the Left. The situation will only become more severe as entry level positions are slowly consumed by AI driven increases in efficiency that let work be done with fewer or no people.

There because to be successful in capitalism you have to put forth effort.

It’s not capitalism in American that’s not working. It’s the current economy which, while mostly capitalist, has been screwed over by the US government for the last century.
As we’re seeing during the government shut down a lot of the US economy is dependent on the US government. That needs to change. The US government needs to get out of the economy, except for some legal oversight to prevent sweatshops and unsafe products, and let the economy build and flourish.

Immigration isn’t working for young people. Why pay an educated American a fair living wage when you can pay some Indian pennies on the dollar since he’s sharing his two bedroom apartment with 13 other men?
