Climate change, although the younger generations aren’t doing much to help with that either.
The Me generation has already pulled the ladder so high, that most of Gen X never made it onto even the bottom rung.
Their parents named them The Me Generation. They tried to stick that label on Gen X, not realizing that they didn’t have enough of us for us to ever be relevant.
The Greediest Generation will be taught about, as the people who were so shortsighted they sold out themselves and their next 5 generations of offspring.
why would there be a “final way”?
They’re GONNA die. They don’t get life extension tech. For one thing, they’re already too old for it to do much for them.
so… you envision one last boomer dying out and suddenly the sun rises? like who do you think is behind the mass fucking of the public? no one born after 1970?
they already did, decades ago. consistently voting with the republicans. like 1-2 generations ago, when they went with reagen, and then again with BUSH as the final act.
Nuclear war
To spite the libs, they’ll inflate the US dollar till its worthless.
Corporate nursing homes milking them of all their remaining inheritable money.
And casinos.
Exactly this. I’ve seen it with two of my family members.
My boomer relatives floated the idea of donating their estates to the mormon church upon their deaths, fucking their apostate kids out of any inheritance
Bro 😔 I am so sorry. Assuming you are not a drug addict or something you didn’t deserve that.
You oughta see their gilded temples. They’re really hurting for money.
Isn’t it the richest church in the world
Wall Street is the richest church in the world.
Good observation 🤔
No one is owed an inheritance.
Sell all their homes to corporation in a reverse mortgage, so they get the cash now and the homes stay off the market for young people.
Jesus fuck your right
A lot of the cash will go on healthcare. But a bunch will go on trips in retirement and other stuff…of course no wealth transfer any more except for the uber wealthy.
It’s a case of the young no longer having a large sun of money at once to buy a house while also taking housing off the market. This reduces supply and demand keeping prices somewhat affordable for corps but out of reach for people. Renting is the new serfdom.
I mean, young people can’t afford their houses, at some point something’s gotta give, or yeah they’ll sell them to corporations.
Tom Selleck, do your mustache magic
Fuck Tom Selleck
It’s been happening for a while. Aged care is very expensive, and is often secured with assets. These places will take all the hoarded wealth before it can transfer to anyone who needs it.
Some would say the answer is to not outsource care of our loved ones, but how do we do that without housing or job security, in an economy where nobody has the time for it?
There is also the faintest possible possibility that some sort of home health care robot will become available in the next 20 years or so, but it’ll probably be very expensive.
20 years?
You know boomers are already 70+ right? In 20 years they’ll all mostly be dead anyway and their wealth sucked up by medical debt and end of life care services.
Well then maybe Gen X will get them.
They’ve already done it. The environment is fucked for future generations.
they didn’t stop
Gravesites. There will be no room to bury Gen X and down.
Good thing more and more people are choosing cremation these days.
Eh, here in Sweden it is normal to reuse grave sites, you normally get a grave site for 25 years, but it can be extended.
The relatives of the person buried can extend the time that the gravesite is yours, but it costs money.
Sooner or later the gravesite is returned to the church to be reused.
That’s the way it is in a lot of European countries. Every single acre of land would be a gravesite if not for this system.
Is everything broken down in 25 years or do they do something with the remains?
Have you heard about Paris catacombs?
Most people here are cremated, I also remember the urn my grandfather was buried in was biodegradable so after 25 years there is nothing really left.
I don’t know if everything is broken into 25 years, or so, that is just what I read on the Chruch of Sweden’s website.
Jokes on them, we will never be able to stop working long enough to have a proper funeral. They’ll just bury us where we drop.
Not like most of us care anyway. Just throw my rotten corpse in a dumpster, ain’t nobody wanna smell it anyway.
Dying and leaving us holding the bag.
Rather, dying and leaving it all to the few sycophantic offspring they’ve managed to brainwash to continue their legacy.
this… this is absolutely my exact life situation right now.
like we don’t agree about ANYTHING even though i am literally watching them suffer from the consequences of how they’ve been voting since they came of age (fuck Reagan)
why do i keep hanging out with them? because they have a boat? i don’t think it’s worth it anymore
ugh
…privatization of social security…
This is the correct answer. And, they’ll do it so that it kicks in only for people younger than them.
In a way, this has already happened with 401(k) plans. In general, making each person’s retirement income more easily measured is likely a good thing, since it will probably encourage people to behave in a more prosocial way. https://www.heritage.org/social-security/report/pension-reform-sweden-lessons-american-policymakers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKjHvpiHk3s
Sure hope you can keep a well paying job for 30 years though, or fuck you die in poverty!
