But it IS mainly the boomers that are still in charge, denying the younger generations access to power and to the places where change can really happen. There are some GenX and Millenial Traitors mixed in, but the impulse for these events comes from the boomers.

    Vote them out. People complain about the elderly in Congress and then promptly vote them right back in. That enough people are considering them the best qualified is telling. Run some quality younger candidates who talk practical solutions, not idealistic boilerplate…

    Just because a group is vocal doesnt mean theyre the majority.

    The people complaining about age arent the ones voting for predominantly older politicians.

    If we weren't living in a rapidly aging society which gives them the majority for the next decades.

    Yeah seems like there’s a constant influx of more old people every year... Sooner than you think, you’ll be one of them. But by then you’ll blame the world on the younger generations.

    I am already old, not making that mistake yet. And the demographic curve in our country means that these days the amount of pensioners is rising at a recotd rate.

    At the same time, the rich fucks in that generation are using their influence to both make sure the younger generations are paying more and more for something that becomes utterly unreachable for them, and to keep fucking up our planet.
