What are they talking about? We don’t have money for anything. How are we supposed to think about saving for our retirement?
We’re already too busy paying taxes to fund the boomers’ retirement, while they remain delusional about the world and think that everyone else just has to work harder.
You are not really addressing my point. I’m mentioning the fact that boomers are statistically less likely to support policies that help the situation and more likely to support policies that hurt the situation. You suggest that those before me had made efforts that are ineffective, but my point is that they statistically are working against me and my efforts.
I’m not blaming the weight of other passengers on the titanic because we are not passive participants in the world the way passengers were passive riders of the titanic. We are all able to affect change. I’m watching news reports of the titanic and advocating for life boat safety regulations and am upset that a bunch of other people are saying I’m making a mountain out of a molehill and there’s no real reason to have more lifeboats because “some people lived”.
Sure, plenty of people are at fault, but I can’t just be upset that the ship lobby has a chokehold on regulation if I’m actively looking at people standing next to me who refuse to hold them accountable.
