when you really look at the data it's amazing that boomers haven't been straight genocided

this 1 generation holds approximately 60% of the country's wealth (*and growing* despite morality and retirement) while both gen x and millennials have flatlined in terms of % of wealth accumulation…and we're not even dying off or retiring like boomers are

how does this not make you want to murder your parents?

@kino lots of fun times ahead

@eee @kino it's shit like this that makes me angry every time boomers complain about millenials or gen z not "doing enough".

Nigga we're just trying to survive and not go insane.

@cyberanathema @kino old people getting desperate tho

@cyberanathema @kino russia was a weird place with jews taking over and looting the corpse

@eee @kino what the actual fuck happened around '95?

@cyberanathema the ramifications of privatization and commercialization where a tiny oligarchic glass inherited the once-nationalized state infrastructures rendering a huge portion of the citizenry into abject poverty @eee

@kino @eee I thought that was sooner than '95, my mistake.

@cyberanathema like I said: ramifications. there is always a delayed reaction/effect after the impart of action. like how we've yet to really see inflation yet despite printing 1/3 of all money in circulation within the timespan of a year. @eee

@kino @eee oh we're going to absolutely be fucked big time because of COVID-19. Even now when there's basically 0 cases in my region, people are still chickenshit to reopen things or go back to normal.

Look, I just want a job that pays enough for me to live comfortably and won't physically harm me over time or drive me into alcoholism.

@cyberanathema @eee if you want people to flourish they need jobs (an open economy/country) —> ample pay (to survive, to consume [reinject into the system]) —> low prices (enable excess income that can be invested towards building families or starting businesses, etc.)

if you lockdown the country —> you destroy the economy —> people don't get paid/lose their jobs —> prices don't budge or increase = actively thwart and wall off the ability for people to progress or thrive.
