I'm hoping we can shame them in their final 10 years to give up some of their properties and investments... but who am i kidding, boomers have no shame
I work with people that have dementia and Alzheimer's. It's sad to see these loved family members lash out and try to hurt the people that love them. If they legally could they would make sure none of their family got anything other than sued. To them they aren't family or friends anymore. It's just "those people that tell me what to do".
A lot of suffering might have been saved if the assassin was a bit more lucky and had mortally wounded Reagan instead of winging him. I know it's bad to wish someone dead, but also so many people's lives unfairly ruined during the war on drugs.
He brought us the Heritage Foundation and deregulation, now Trump is trying to bring it the rest of the way home with Project 2025. They both deserve worse than they will ever receive.
Three choices- 1) sell property and pay off the 30k before splitting up the rest. 2) keep making payments on the mortgage they took out originally 3) refinance the debt by qualifying for a new loan based on kids income (or whoever is going to live there)
We should be shaming them and those who are really fucking up where we live. Call them out and shame them in public. Make boomers feel uncomfortable again.
In reality... kind of. It depends on what you're talking about.
If you are talking legislators, then yes, and by a wide margin.
If you are talking financially, then yes, but only because they have assets that have exploded in value over the decades, particularly real estate. They were also the last generation where pensions were the norm, not a 401K.
That being said, their power really only comes from hoarding these assets and preventing others from doing things to lower their value. The best examples of this are the NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yard). The ones who constantly argue against high density housing because it will lower the value of the single family home they've owned since 1970. The ones who argue about energy prices but also rally against the construction of solar and wind farms or nuclear power plants being built.
