I don't think teens are displaying nihilism that wasn't exercised on them. Using property as an investment vehicle without contrition to societal contexts is an extreme development in moral decay. It's a gladiatorial'esque outcome, and speaks to hedonism among wealth mongers.

Bring back 90% taxes and anti-monopolisation laws with teeth.
