The boomers were given a foot in the door of the capital class via home ownership and cheap credit. This created a shared interest with the capital class and have made them a valued constituency throughout the neoliberal world. The generational conflict IS a class conflict. ^^^ that's part of it but when you look at the demographics I don't think its the only explanation

Boomers were totally convinced that once they started winning generational warfare they'd create Full Global Communism. Millenials would probably have the same character arc if they survive to 60.

Can't have the money spicket be the source if the idea is inflation won't happen, the rich aren't gonna let themselves lose money, and there is only so much everyone else has to offer. The thing about inflation, though, is that it only really occurs if the money is actually passing through the economy. If the hyper-rich have a bunch of their wealth tied up in stocks and the government injects money to keep the market from failing, yeah, they'll have more cash, but will they actually be using it in ways that result in inflation? Basically it seems like it might be entirely possible for the numbers of the balance sheets of the rich to just continue increasing because the vast majority of that is never actually going to be translated into goods and services. Tulip posted:Boomers were totally convinced that once they started winning generational warfare they'd create Full Global Communism. Millenials would probably have the same character arc if they survive to 60. The main reason this isn't true is because the actual material circumstances that millenials face are very different from those boomers faced. Unlike boomers, millennials aren't going to see improved standards of living as they get older (and that's not getting into the impact of climate change). That doesn't necessarily mean they'll become left-wing, but they'll likely to be more radical in their politics in general, because they'll be less capable of tolerating the status quo.

It's total bullshit, just like unemployment

Rent in Seattle has gone up 74% in the last ten years. Wages, with the exception of metro Seattle's shift to a $15 minimum wage, have remained stagnant or even gone down.

I caught a segment on MSNBC today where they went on and on about how great the economy is doing. It was all to set up a sick burn on Trump for having such a low approval rating despite the wonderful and record breaking economy he created.

Boomers as a whole. Really were happy Collectively to slaughter the welfare states of America and Britain once they collectively had enough cash to stop benefiting. Yeah part of it was propaganda. But really. And great prosperity that doesn’t universalize poo poo and or built on a crumbling empire can create the impulses h Th at brought us Trump and Johnson.

How is that possible, didn't Seattle absorb some of those high paying tech jobs? How have they turned into one of those Boston/San Francisco cities without high income people moving in?
