I can only have an opinion when Fox News informs me of the new outrageous fad for this week.
Oh the thing professionals all said would happen? That's what they are stunned about? The very thing they were warned would happen if trump did the thing he said he would do.
Old people aren't exactly "finger on the pulse" types
And they have been trained to hate government, science and experts.
The only one of those you should hate is the government.
I just took a couple Ubers. They were driven by retirees as a way to make a little extra cash and get out of the house. Both of them said they would have to quit driving and get another “real” job again if the market continued to tank. This shit rolls downhill…gonna create a job crunch again. People not leaving jobs, no jobs for people entering the marketplace, and companies are going to start crushing labor’s wages and benefits again.
Maybe that IS the end goal. Get old people working so wages get fucked for everyone and the corporate overlords can increase their profit margins from a measly 99% to 99.9% or whatever
And what's the end goal? What's their plan for when those old people die in a fiery crash while driving Doordash? Nobody's having kids anymore and immigration ain't happening so who's gonna take those jobs?
Oh no, are the Boomers finally collectively suffering the consequences of their own collective actions?
What a shame.
Anyway, welcome to the 'you can never retire or afford a house' club along with all your children who've been begging you for the past 20 years to stop voting for policies and politicians who made this current situation inevitable.
I know several people that were suppose to retire next year. Looks like they are gonna have to postpone 😂😂
“The leopards ate my face”
Only if they voted for Trump. Many didn't. This election saw a lot more young people, especially men, move to the Republicans. In fact if you want to blame a specific demographic then blame men.
I dont want to blame a specific demographic because that would be a stupid thing to do
I blame the non voters.
When more people vote Democrats tend to win.
I think the blame rest solely on the 78 million people or so that showed up to vote for Donald Trump. And maybe the 40 million or so people that didn’t show up to vote at all.
You can double that second figure.

Yet even more GenZ men just didn't vote because they hated both options
Bit of a tactical blunder, that.
I'm sure they'll be quick to blame "boomers" for it, though.
