    To be fair, I read a while ago that the, “Great Wealth Transfer,” was going to fizzle because of medical costs. Medicare doesn’t cover long term care, so a lot of the wealth that Boomers would have left behind is getting eaten by the medical industry.

    Still, they gutted the social safety nets for short-term stock market gains, so fuck boomers.

      Fuck rich boomers (and those who voted for them). There are a lot of good ones. No war but class war, etc.

        You have to remember that for Reagan’s first election, all but one state went for him. The entire generation and their parents/grandparents voted for destroying social safety nets.
