One thing these kinds of articles that are designed to stoke generational conflicts never mention is that rich people live longer. Like, obviously older people would be proportionally richer, the poorer people from that generation are dead. Also, friendly reminder, all this stoking of generational conflicts does is distract us from the real divide in society.
You could start taxing them. Especially the rich ones.
You know that’s an option, right?
Or make them pay for their own winter heating.
Or we can give them lots of money for being old.
They didn’t fight in two world wars to not be given free money.
The Boomers fought in world wars?
In utero, maybe.
They didn’t fight I just said.
Sorry, the double-negative threw me for a loop.
It was just a joke. It was intentionally misleading, but I should have worded it better.
Yeah, except it’s the rich assholes in power that would have to pass that kind of reform.
I mean, yeah. That kind of reform.
Good thing there’s other options.
Rich vs working class, not boomers vs millennials or whatever garbage you’re trying to push.
Boomers are the rich, that’s the whole point.
They lived through the largest economic boon in history and kept it all for themselves.
Yeah fuck their kids too but let’s not forget who is perpetuating this system and it ain’t young people.
Hell the “young” candidate this election is 60!!!
Actually there is some truth to this SPECIFICALLY with Boomers. After the War, Western countries rebuilt economic powerhouses up to a certain point, after which the ladder was pulled up. Boomers had more opportunities than any generation before or after them.
