They should cut back on avocado toast and get rid of cable.

Nah, they should’ve sold their houses to Aquaman, and move…

Have they tried trickle down economics or maybe pulling themselves up by their bootstraps??

The material conditions and sociopolitical norms for a large demographic group of people were such that the majority of them actively and deliberately destroyed social safety nets and privatized everything they could in the hopes of making a quick buck and sticking it to the (slurs), and you’re only upset that some people fucked over by that group are feeling schadenfreude about that group now experiencing what they had been dishing out.

One sentence was “too long, didn’t read” for you. 👍

And your collective condemnation of the people you look down upon for having unsanctioned feelings is the superior take. 👍

If we made life significantly worse for our next generations, then they sure as hell should dance on our graves.

The article doesn’t say, but I’m assuming the demographics of these newly homeless boomers is not predominantly white male. I still say boomer remover tho so i’m not exactly above generational warfare, it’s just the worst boomers get hurt the least from poverty

I think you make a valid point, unlike the federated smuglord that you replied to. This is mostly going to hurt people that least deserved it, as is often the case. Yeah, I know one or two boomer chuds that will likely get hit by that, but that’s not worth it overall.

Anyone here who comments about how they deserved this fate or how they got what was coming to them needs to grow the fuck up.

There are very, very few people in this world who have done something bad enough to have this kind of condition even be remotely justified. They’re gonna either be on the streets or in basic Medicaid nursing homes for the rest of their lives. Many will get beaten and robbed. Many will probably just commit suicide to avoid the nightmarish conditions. And people here are celebrating this?!

Newsflash, the baby boomer generation are also people who also deserve to have someone give a shit about them. You people are sick.

In any case, it’s going to overwhelmingly not be reaganites who are going homeless. If someone spent decades shilling for austerity and had it bite them in the ass, that’s one thing, but this is the economic bottom dropping out, so it’s mostly not those people.

Don’t worry, as the saying goes “pull yourself up by the dick”, and maybe they will gain enough wealth to become expats and gain more in foreign wealth and sex on Southeast and East Asia…, /s (Edited for clarification)

You just gotta pull yourself back up harder, my friend, remember the bootstraps and remember you d***, that’s the important part…
