Boomers own 52% of the country, they ARE the class struggle. Over 55s together over 70%. I don't think anyone in gen Z is operating under the assumption they could ever retire anyway? They're not pumping out enough babies to fund their retirement. Neither are us millennials.

    This is a logical error.

    Over 55s own about 73%

    What this number establishes is that a significant portion of the owning class is over 55. What it doesn’t show is that the boomers are the ownership class. If one guy over 55 owns 75% of the country, you still end up with

    Over 55s own about 73%

    being true. You’re focussing on the wrong group of people.

    Here's a fact:

    Households with a white householder hold roughly 80% of the nation's total wealth

    Does this mean we should be mad at white people?
