deal. I graduated law school in 1987 and it cost a fraction of what it cost today. Watch “Generation Wealth” on Netflix a photo journalist from LA as a college student realizes in high school in the 80s that our society has become obsessed with wealth and documents what she sees. After 30 plus years she revisits many of her classmates who were kids of famous people to see where they are today. It’s a sorry look at the results of late stage capitalism. She talks about Kate Hudson a classmate bragging about famous parents and young 12-13yo kids with wads of hundred dollar bills. The journalist was quite perceptive as she herself was an awkward teenager living amongst the 90201 crowd and the excesses she witnessed.

**correction-the documentary is free on Amazon Prime, not Netflix.
