Make college and homes unobtainable.. You get what you get and you don't get upset.

Is it boomers that made homes and college unaffordable? I thought it was massive corporations like Blackrock buying up every SFH they can get their hands on, and universities inflating their tuition rates.

no it's the lack of building supply and market liquidity.

Shit like airbnb is going to have a more influential effect on the market than something like blackrock.

If America is anything like Canada, there are scads and scads of vacant mcmansion subdivisions literally everywhere that no one can afford to buy.

Boomers repealed all the laws on those guys in exchange for better returns on the 401ks and home sales.

They sold humanity to our corporate overlords, they need to be held to account.

They're so anti-socialism: Suspend Medicare for 10 years, let the system sort itself out.

I mean, in Canada, none of those things happened, and our cost of living crisis makes the average US worker look like they're making it rain in a rap video.

And Boomers allowed those organizations to exist by their votes.
