Adjunct professor Olivia has no savings, no stability, no hope...oh, and she's still living at home with her father, the university dean. Meanwhile, sky-high tuition is wrecking her students' lives. The solution? Kidnap the out-of-touch baby boomers running the school and demand cancellation of all college loan debt. What could possibly go wrong, except for a civil war between young and old?
Adjusted for inflation, millennials spend 50% more on rent, 75% more on healthcare and 150% more on college (while earning $10,000 less) than baby boomers did at the same age. Two-thirds can't afford to buy a house or save for retirement. It was only a matter of time until s**t went down...

They killed shopping malls, chain restaurants, taxis, newspapers, bar soap, landline phones, cable TV and gluten...and now theyâre coming for youuuuuuuuuuuu!
