Remember folks, the boomers aren’t hoarding wealth. Billionaires and oligarchs are. Class solidarity. Don’t care if you’re 18 working your first job or worked for 50 years and trying to navigate retirement, the problem is the billionaire class.
Terrified of outliving their money?
Bitch, I’m a millennial and there’s already more month left at the end of the money…
a very good article.
america has never had something like an overarching nation-state or something that would make people feel that they’re part of one homogenous society; nevertheless individualism has accelerated and sharpened even more in the last few decades.
there is no functioning Social Security in the US because people are afraid that their money could go to some other, possibly corrupt and irresponsible person, who would waste the money.
the truth is, however, that it is basically impossible to live alone, except maybe if you’re a 25 year old man venturing through the woods. not only does almost anybody need something (whether children need childcare or elder people need elderly care), but also it is much more efficient if people work together.
this is the great tragedy of today’s rugged individualism: that it fundamentally contradicts human nature.
Just imagine every Boomer as a would be Pharaoh trying to build the bestest house with the mostest stuff in it, to carry with them over to the other side, and it makes more sense.
An entire generation of cowards, unable to accept that they will die one day, and that what you do while you are here, that’s what counts… not how long you can try to run the clock into overtime.
