      2030 is my guess because roughly half of the kids from the 60s will be mid 60s then and retire or be unable to keep on hustling because of age while all support systems will get into absolute overload.

      It’s seven years until 2030.

        You might want to recheck your math on that one

        Well either see a brutal market recession as the boomers die off and/or sell off their retirement portfolio to buy more sand for their hourglass, while everyone else is too broke to buy it at the “market value” their financial planner promised them in 1992

        Or capitalists will sweep in and buy it for cheap, exacerbating the housing crisis and continuing to make life unaffordable

        Either way we’re in trouble

        i think you underestimate how bad it can get before they can’t stop a collapse anymore.

        we already have a big homeless population and old people already in dire situations. i think that was the spark that got them so politicized in the first place.

        and the biggest factors will probably be more related to climate change which will take a bit more time to reeeeally fuck with us.

          Joke is: I’m one of these boomers, born in the 1960s 😄

          Classic example of rage math - I’m always furious about the shit and the terror my generation didn’t prevent. We knew and know everything and chose and choose to carry on.

          Assholes all around. I’m dead serious about this.
