    It’s not the boomers. It’s the wealth distribution.

    If you check up on how the standard pension has been developing in western countries, it’s going to shit too.

      While the meme is casting (well deserved) aspersions on Boomers who have lived on the fat of younger generations’ labor, this really isn’t a generational issue, it’s a class problem with worse than glided age wealth disparity as it’s driving function.

      If we taxed Billionaires like we did in the 50’s, nobody would be dunking on Boomers like they do today… at least a lot less and probably more about their voting / aged politicians vs. financially…
