Does anyone else feel that more than race or gender just being born a Boomer gives you more privilege than anything else?

>Boomer woman coworker of mine is making $180,000/yr with just a BA in a random subject, yet says she is constantly subjected to gender bias for being a woman. Guaranteed Social Security and Medicare payout in addition to her 401k. Also benefited from no student debt and bought a house worth $800,000 today that when she bought it, adjusting for inflation, was only $70,000.
>When she graduated college she got a $90,000 (in today's dollars) job as an executive assistant with no further education, hired within 2 months out of school.

The only way to punish them is this:

> Keep saving money, don't spend it
> DO NOT BUY A HOME
> Wait another 3 years for this house of cards to collapse
> Then buy a home and scalp them like the scum that they are

It's really the only way.

And yes it's very very unfair.

Since 1970 Home values have gone up like 10x to 20x. Meanwhile lower class and middle class wages have gone up like 5x.

It's total orchestrated bullshit.

They'll suffer in the end.

That's because back in those days, only 10% of the cohort got a university degree. Today 60% of the cohort will get a degree. Thus the value of a degree is devalue.

>Dad: All our manufacturing jobs are getting outsourced and I'm mad about it.
>Me: Right. Blue collar workers are forced to work for at or near minimum wage. You can't live on that.
>Dad: You're not supposed to. Those jobs are for kids.
>Me: You used to be able to support yourself on minimum wage, it used to be a lot more before inflation. In fact you guys made like half the minimum wage in the military back in Vietnam and got along fine.
>Dad: They should move on to better jobs if they want to make a living wage.

The conversation goes round and round. Basically he thinks that people who can't do better than low wage work deserve to be paid badly for being low status, he just can't accept that people like him (though he's retired now) without a trade or higher education are reduced to being low status in this day and time. He can accept the pieces of the puzzle but not the whole picture.

And yet you're only partially there as well. The "minimum wage" (as arbitrarily dictated by the government) doesn't matter. You can't make people more valuable with a pen stroke.

American workers have been devalued through outsourcing and an unchecked flood of immigrants. The only way to mitigate that is to have trade/market protections and enforce your immigration law.

What you do when you try elementary interventionism like raising the minimum wage is force out all of the workers on the margins, bump up wages across the board and nullify those gains with inflation and cost of living increases, hurt small businesses, and further encourage big corporations to automate and outsource more work.

Take them to task and don't let them hire 3rd worlders to do jobs while they sell to Americans.

we have a lot of vacant homes in America, as soon as the boomers realize that marriage rates and families are on the decline and the millennials and gen z are shackled with student loan debts, the boomer will be dead and his unfinished 40 year mortgage will force the banks to confiscate and foreclose it for a fraction of the price, then buy it in cash

This is what I did to my Boomer parents:
They gave me nothing and pissed their enormous wealth away on nigger art, nigger charities, and Christian church shit. I was left with literally nothing.

I had them declared mentally unfit and then got control over the tiny amount of wealth and possessions they had left. I liquidated all their shit, got $25k for it, and used it to buy a new Subaru BRZ.

Then I stuck them in the worst state-run nursing home I could find in the nigger part of town. They begged me to move them literally three days after they got there. My response was as follows:

>Stop being racist! This is their culture. You spent your whole life supporting these people and bringing them into the country. You are staying there and you will learn to live among them!

I paid their coon caretaker $500 cash to ignore any of their requests that were """unreasonable""" and told that shitskin they were both racist and to do what you have to in order to keep them in line. They are both suffering a lot of abuse including not being properly cleaned.

It's the future they both chose. For you pussies who will cry about this, you can take your egalitarian faggot shit and shove it up your ass. Boomers deserve to be punished. The only way White people will ever learn anything is through their suffering. We need to ensure that the entire Boomer generation's final years are sadistic torture as a warning to future generations who might piss away their children's opportunities.

...Final note: my mom spent her entire life working with a Lutheran church to import Somalian nogs into America and she was very successful at it. I hope one of her caretakers gives her a fucking good smack or three
