And conversely most of those white guys with a net worth in the six figures are long-timers who inherited a house worth that much, with no mortgage.

This right here is a hugely important point about American wealth that Brianna and her clown car of morons miss. The percentage of people in America who grew up poor and become wealthy is staggeringly low, we're talking a fraction of a percent of a percent. The vast majority of wealthy Americans are wealthy through inherited wealth be it property, stocks, businesses ect. What this means realistically is that wealth inequality is virtually impossible to alter without going full authoritarian and seizing the wealth of others by force.

People in the district you're running for asking simple reasonable questions about you and your candidacy = "Right wing sewer"

That can't possibly be a real statistic.

Net worth can be negative, even, so it's not too bizarre to be near-zero. If you have a car and live in government housing, for example, your net worth could either be $0 (you own the car, it has not depreciated, but you haven't made payments yet), $5k (You've paid off the car) or -$5k (You own the car, owe money on it, and it has no resell value), etc.

I suggest we now refer to Wu's line of bullshit as "ass patter". It works on multiple levels.

There are a bunch of reasons kids aren't as interested in cars as in the past and it's not cause of the Internet. It's more likely increased access to public transportation, increased development in what was once rural areas, insurance rates for young people being through the roof, increased traffic, getting in an accident will cost you thousands even for simple fender benders, and having your priorities in other places like paying for an education or simply just trying to pay rent even if it is just to your parents to help out the family. Like honestly having the Internet makes people want cars more. How else are you going to meet that random farm girl you met off of tinder, or pof, or one of the other various online hookup sites

I don't think John is entirely off the mark as a ton of social interaction takes place online anymore, but I don't think that it's the primary reason by any stretch. John lives his life online and doesn't have one offline besides the occasional speaking engagement or having to do something with Frank's friends. Normal people want to spend time with the people they talk to on facebook or whatever. The majority would be economic factors like you listed. This is something he'd never considered because he's never actually faced hardship or had friends to spend time with.
