The question sparked hundreds of replies, with many confirming that younger generations feel locked out of the economy and desperate for change. Some users admitted they want a reset so they can finally afford to invest in housing or stocks. Others, including Gen Xers and Millennials, shared similar frustrations. One commenter put it bluntly: they feel they have nothing to lose. But many pointed out that younger people may not fully understand the reality of a true crash, where job losses and financial instability hit hard. While some hope for lower prices and a reallocation of wealth, others cautioned that crashes usually benefit the rich, not the average person. One Gen X user said the longer we delay a recession, the worse it will be when it comes. Another user reminded readers that those wishing for a crash often aren’t in a position to take advantage of it anyway. The overall tone was less about destruction and more about desperation. People feel unheard, priced out, and powerless. The desire for change is clear, but many doubt whether anyone is truly ready for what that kind of reset could bring.
