In other ways. But boomers largely benefited from cheap houses and economic growth while watching the price of their houses go up forever making them nominally richer, measured in fiat money. Fiat lost so much value that now it's getting impossible for future generations to achieve something similar as wages never kept up with house prices. And a place to live should be a basic thing to own and not forever debt slavery, if at all possible.

This generational divide rage baiting nonsense must stop. You’re either willfully ignorant to history or you’re a bad actor.

Which is it?

My notifications from you blow up. Yet I haven't heard where im willingful ignorant. There basically was one generation that maybe actually benefited from money printing while it will get harder and harder for future generations until the system implodes. Many are now millionaires because they bought a house for 20k bucks 40 or 50 years ago. And it's not because this house got more valuable during 50 years. Your story about boys being taken from farms makes no sense as boomers are the generation born after 1945. And I'm not even blaming boomers for this, I'm just saying the current system makes it harder and harder for the younger generations to afford a decent life.

Understood. I’ll work more to make it clearer.

Everything is interconnected. Must sleep.

Also: notifications are an issue. Heard.

How many #corporations have bought multiple homes & land in the last decade in the #US?

How much #farmland has other countries bought up in the #USA? Where are they located? Why would they choose this?

Are you aware how many have died for you to speak so indiscriminately about others? Do you have no shame or are you a troll?

Kindly: many of us have fought lifelong for equality & to benefit humanity?

All generations are built on the ashes of others. Your lack of #respect for #humankind is abhorrent.

Sure: enjoy flying off to some remote #island 🏝️ & feeling all the #ego goodness.

Some of us will continue to work our best to change the world. So ignorant fools like you can benefit from it.
