I don't want people to suffer because I did--I'm no doctor who thinks new doctors have to stay up and treat patients for 48 hours straight just because "that's what I had to go through"--and I certainly shouldn't speak in such absolutes, I know lots of millennials have not it easy either.

What I was trying to describe was the increasing "shinification" of everything, trying to entice the people with lots of money--that inevitably raises prices for all of us. Movie theaters are another example to me--my hometown had a dumpy little theater that showed 99-cent movies and sure, the floors were sticky, but I still got to see the same movies everyone else got to see on the cheap. Now the seats in most of the theaters are deluxe--but the cheapest movie you can attend is still ten bucks and most at peak times are more than that. I don't really need the plush chairs but I'm paying for them anyway.
