As the baby boomer bubble pushes into its eighties, we are driving into a demographic wall.

    If we had robust public transport for everyone, this wouldnt be as big an issue.

    Dont forget that it is not generation vs generation, its the 1% vs the working class.

      I love it in when so called leftists ignore the huge petite bourgeoisie class that has voted for more and freer capitalism for decades. Sure, just ignore class traitors. I’m sure it will work out.

      And a friendly reminder that boomers own far more than billionaires and as such are very much invested in the system. Your poverty allows them retirement.

        You’re not wrong but let’s start addressing wealth concentration with the trillionaire, and billionaires first. A lot of boomers may be millionaires but the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is a billion dollars.

          also, let’s not forget that propaganda is most effective if you have a little bit of wealth and are afraid of losing it

          Fact check: 1,000,000,000 - 1 ,000,000 = 999,000,000. But if you apply normal rounding rules… 😉

        I’m sure millenials own more than billionaires, and gen X, and gen Z once they all reach adulthood.
