>Hungary will feel so silly when they realise they're on the WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY.

>>18238102

thats not his point you IDIOT.

He's saying that since 2005 roughly, it's been shitfest after shitfest for young people. First 2008 crisis, then things never really got much better for them after that loss of opportunity there and a rough start, and now this.

Where on the otherhand boomers had it easy as fuck their entire lives. Now they are at the end of it, and they are fucking up the youngsters crucial moment (just starting out) or fucking up the oens who finally gained traction after 2008 just to prolong their retirement a little longer and continue to live the luxury they always had.

Just freeze all rents and mortgages.
>hurr why are all the young people so mad we're giving them checks!!! >:(

>>18238309

Yes they are. We are comparing them to retirees and boomers. Essentially anyone who started in that rough period. they may be in their 30s-40s now.

You probably identify as a 30 year old or some neet and you are latching onto all the liberal onions faggots and missing the point of OP. It's not about muh socialism or muh environment or any of that shit. what the fuck is wrong with your reading comprehension

>>18238360

Not the answer imo.
Its more in that social unrest could follow simply because of the decision to halt the economy and cause a recession to keep a few boomers a couple more years of life.

The answer isnt freezing rents or free shit. Its getting stuff back to normal ASAP before the economy hits a point where it is in recession for some years to come, only in the name of letting an 80 year old life 2 more years

>>18238102
i own a mango farm and pay for dole bludgers with my tax can i be 28 year old boomer

>>18238309
you are not factoring the remainder of the continually-rising shit tide they have to fight against. Fuck all chance of getting on the housing ladder, rising rents, McJobs, Boomers and everyone else safely on the next level pulling the ladders further out of reach. All these things are real and cumulative
> the party can never end
its not (and never) starting for whole fucking generations. Nor do I know why to have to argue plain facts a fucking Bank of England governor appears to recognize, while contrarian cunts like yourself are in denial. It's not good, it's getting worse and this won't end well

>>18238361
What the fuck is wrong with yours? I’m 22, if anything I’m more fucked by corona than any of these fags in their 30s or 40s who’ve had time to establish careers and build up money to potentially invest (assuming they didn’t waste the biggest bull market of their adult lives). But shit happens in the real world and considering the insane stimulus and all the generous wage subsidies happening in western economies right now plus the fact these people largely established their lives and careers during one of the best periods to do so, don’t blame me for not having much sympathy. If anything I bet you’re the mediocre fag in his 30s who failed to do enough with what he was given and now feels like they’re entitled to continue their relatively easy ride at the cost of human life just because “lol they’re only old people”. Also I’m glad corona happened because for once people are consuming less and the environment actually gets to take a little breather and westerners learn an important lesson about life: shit happens. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and your entitled generation

>>18238034
hes not wrong

>>18238481
you are fucked because you think you are fucked when i was your age i owned a house.

>>18238388
Most young people hate the "normal" economy, and I bet a bunch of them prefer working from home. And the virus is killing people of all age groups, admittedly at different rates but you can't trivialize it away by saying it's only killing boomers and the elderly.

Going "back to normal" is not going to fix the economy while the virus is still spreading. Full stop

>>18238481
here ya go bich.

>>18238063
Good call, I keep repeating that advice for all hustlers out there
It’s done wonders for getting my foot in the door and staying in touch with people as they shift companies or agencies.

>>18237808

What if we just get rid of 1/3 of the population and the people left over take those jobs? I bet we could do it with a weird exotic bat flu or something.

>>18238461
>mervyn king said governments should have a good exit strategy for when corona starts winding down
>says young people might question why their futures are put at risk for older people (something they’re already doing on social media and unlikely to take anywhere else)
>facts
That second paragraph is borderline incoherent so learn to write and we can discuss “plain facts”. One of the largest bull runs in history isn’t w party? Record lows in unemployment isn’t a party? Years without real political turmoil, war, high inflation, or any of the things that actually make life tough or shitty isn’t a party? What the fuck more do you want out of life? People in their 30s and 40s in the US and much of Europe have had it pretty easy and considering the scale and generosity of corona response stimulus programmes will continue to have it not particularly hard. Sure some people will get fucked, but that’s life. When overall people have it pretty well you can’t make it seem like oh generations have been getting shafted since the boomers. Fuck off back to twitter if that’s how you think

>>18238501
>you are fucked because you think you are fucked
I don’t really think I’m fucked though, life goes on. Economic hiccups aren’t the end of the world

>>18238503

>keeping retirees at home
>keeping the ones who still work at home with some government stimulus package
>keeping vulnerable groups at home

Letting the 90% carry on as usual, as they don't get bad symptoms, and its being proven more and more each week how they have almost no risk to COVID-19.

Why isn't that just done? Because boomers make the decisions and want to drag everything else down with them. They will not suffer for 4 months in self isolation, we all must, and to that, we must destroy the economy too.

I cant understand why all the at risk groups cant just self isolate with support for a few months instead of literally every person in the world. its makes no sense.

It's like banning all automobiles to stop people with down syndrome from getting hit by cars. a very shit solution to a problem

>>18238747
of course you don't, i'm just throwing nuts at monkeys
Please tell us about the mistery of a bitch spending money, how can she spend all that money? this is very interedasting

>>18238613
I already explained this to you. They DO get bad symptoms, sometimes. Everyone is cavalier and carefree until they get it. And many are asymptomatic carriers that will spread it to the more susceptible even of their own age group.

>It's like banning all automobiles to stop people with down syndrome from getting hit by cars

Kek

>>18238794

some.
They also hold all the most esteemed jobs, roles in the economy and in politics. they have all the power too.

in their mind, may as well risk crashing this mfer with no survivors because if they die, its all gone anyway and wont matter to them anymore, its not their issue if they die. So may as well risk crashing everything.

zoomers have nothing and no power. of course they cant influence anything. thats the point.

>>18238783

Please, please PLEASE. do not make an exception the rule. for FUCK sake. you are smarter than that.

>>18238899
>anon says sometimes they get bad symptoms
>says often they can be asymptotic carriers and infect vulnerable people
> Please, please PLEASE. do not make an exception the rule. for FUCK sake
You are retarded now kindly fuck off back to twitter

If you are someone like George Soros, with billions at your disposal. You privately own many of the biggest media companies in the world, which have subsidiaries of many smaller ones too.

Yet you are 90 years old. You are fatally at risk to this virus where most people are not.
Any economic downturn will not effect you much due to your fortune.
If you die, you have no fortune to enjoy anymore.
You have a powerful machine at your disposal, AND the means to fund it single handedly, and perhaps, ensure your survival through it.

what do you do?

You turn on your media machine and cause an absolute frenzy, lobby like crazy, manipulate opinion and enforce the world stays at home so you do not die.

>>18238930

and the vulnerable people are the only ones that stay home for months to isolate with huge government support. while most people who are at almost no risk continue as normal and the economy is fine. Did you not read above anon?

>>18238957
>implying george soros can’t afford the most luxurious quarantine/self-isolation known to man
>implying he couldn’t literally if he wanted to buy an island and fly in his own (corona-tester) private staff to serve his needs

>>18238309
>1yr massive bullrun with all time highs employment

First of all, stocks are not the economy. Second, 80% of those jobs were gig workers which does not provide a decent wage.

>>18238972

and do what in the meantime if this lasted?
that fucker wants to entertain himself somehow or put his machine to use. Maybe use it as a chance to make Trump not get elected again through hysteria. fuck knows what he's up to.

>>18238966
>younger people do not ever live with older people
>asymptotic people will never decide to visit their parents due to having similarly retarded mentalities like yours
>allowing city centres to go back to being crowded, bars, malls, etc. Getting crowded and becoming hotspots for corona infections will have absolutely no effect on the vulnerable people in society
>implying even people in nursing homes wouldn’t come into contact with some retarded millennial nurse that decided they couldn’t take staying at home for a couple weeks and goes out to a bar and gets infected but remains asymptotic for 2 weeks
>etc
Yeah I think I’ll stick with the epidemiologists and doctors on this one anon, thanks for the input though

>>18238503
its killing fewer people than the flu and no one gives 2 fucks about the shitty flu. yes I can tell you right now its a fucking meme disease and anyone even remotely arguing otherwise is working for the kikes

>>18239026

It's working just fine in quite a few countries anon. If you want to make a statement about americans being retarded unable to cope and achieve something like that then fine

>>18239067
>anon. If you want to make a statement about americans being retarded unable to cope and achieve something like that then fine
That’s kind of the point though isn’t it. Americans (westerners in general desu) can’t or will refuse to handle the same sort of shit for eg Singapore or China or something would do. If they could every country could’ve just China’d It with military imposed lockdowns and been done with it pretty quickly

>>18239136

shocking how ignorant this guy is. Enjoy the thread lmao.

Zoomers have been born with constant Internet access and are on average far more based than boomers or even gen x who sat around and let their parents fuck the world. Zoomers will unironically usher in the 4th industrial revolution (read reich).

>>18238652
what suburb is she in?

>>18239371
zoomers males are skeletal soi creatures that can't some using nigger words and streaming fortnite, zoomer females are all aspiring instathots that just want to max out their parents credit card in the hipster district of the local downtown

>Record lows in unemployment isn’t a party?
Unemployment stats mean fuckall if you're not looking at underemployment at the same time.
If you cut existing workers' hours and give those to new workers you drop the unemployment rate but all you get for it is poorer workers.
It's just easier to spin less-complete information to voters.
