Universally-Quantified Type Variable

When millennials, gen z, and soon to be alpha say that life is ruined. They don't mean they had to walk to school, work a bit extra to pay a bill, or got rejected once. Nor are they saying they had a horrible childhood or rough life, as many older people did. They are saying that every normal process of human life, from housing, to relationships, pleasant public spaces, to employment, basic hobbies, and beyond. Has been made so unattainable they'll never have them. And so corrupt they hardly even want them. There is nothing worth striving for, and they aren't allowed to strive for it anyway. Everywhere they look are signs of decay, with almost no signs of hope. They are stuck in an eternal night, that only promises to get darker, and their lantern is almost out of fuel.
