It’s a class issue, the idle rich of every generation will oppose change until the reins of power are taken away from them and given back to the people.

I honestly wonder just how many of the homeless babyboomers have kids who are perfectly capable of helping them, but want absolutely no contact with their parents.

I've cut out pretty much every boomer-age person from my life, biologically related and otherwise, in the last few years. Something about trump-moist either made them worse or just made the masks fall off and they were always that way.

I helped a few of them out of homelessness-adjacent financial crises in the past (one was a house-flipping parasite that became over-leveraged during the 2008/2009 recession and lost just about everything and needed enough money to stay off the street until they got a job). If such things happened again now, they're on their own, especially after their red-faced bloodthirsty rants about "the storm" and what they wanted to happen if it came for the (slurs). frothingfash

Distant family boomer of mine is close to homelessness since he isn't selling his 10 bedroom house to shrink, since he doesn't want to live with other people. Could live on 30k from sold house + 25k pension after taxes for the next 35 years.
