Lucky for me my parents were both “I didn’t save anything for retirement, my kids will take care of me when I’m older”, so I don’t have to suffer through this.

    Middle class families passing down inheritance is not a driver of inequality.

    A dozen individuals controlling 60% of the wealth in America is.

      Which is the big unspoken thing here: the only reason millennials/ Gen Z would even care about ‘inheritance’ is because everything has gone so fucking far to shit that it seems the only way to claw out of the hole they’re being shoved into. It’s turned into a lottery wish.

      They can both be drivers of inequality, but the billionaire bullshit is by far the greater kick in the nuts.

      Yeah but how did they get it, and who will get it when they die? It’s like a feedback loop.

        Considering that rich boomer parents are almost exclusively fucking terrible, I’d say having to grow up with them makes it more palatable. They may get some money, but they never got love.
