It won't change until the Boomers are no longer a decisive voting bloc.

Something like means testing might go through, once enough of them have sufficiently exhausted their fortunes.

But by that time the millennials will be expecting their turn. I just don't see a politician being very popular on the "we aren't going to give you money' platform. The guys who say " you get money" will always win.

that's why we'll exit and/or abolish democracy. Fuck the boomers

reply

Man, I really hope Bitcoin works out at this, because my only other way to exit is yo go live in the woods and wipe my ass with leaves and moss and stuff...

reply

if it does, we become the apex boomers and @denlillaapan's furious grandson will be coming for us for sucking up all the generational wealth

reply

indeed, wouldn't that be max irony?!

Do not pay extortionists after the collapse of this government. Support your local voluntarist militia.

Lol China won the trade war and now you are going to live in the woods and fight back for freedom.

Good luck with that...you would not last 5 minutes in the woods before you crawl back begging for a blanket, a coke and a Big Mac.

USA is owned by Zionists and has been since 1913.

Yep, and boomers didn't create the system they are using and voting to keep. The more I study the less I blame the boomers. Yeah, they have their part and it's right now. But the real problems go much further back.

reply

not really... what do you see that was a bigger/worse/more foundational betrayal pre-boomer?

reply

Its never the plebs. Its always the elites. Try the scum that got both world wars going for starters. One could also make a case for the scum that started the war between the states.

reply

That's why my base case is that it keeps going until the wheels completely come off.

Where something might happen, is limited restrictions on eligibility. If you say "We can keep benefits for 95% by excluding these 5%", that might catch on, especially if the 5% are not well liked.

reply

That makes a lot of sense. I definitely see "exclude the richest x%" being popular -- never mind that they paid way more in to the system than most.

reply

or they voluntarily repent? If the Den revolution changes hearts and minds, then perhaps they'll just accept they're at fault and vote/behave differently...?

oh oh oh, like... if we're just MEAN to the spammers, maybe they'll go away?

I once asked stackers their opinion on a relatives stance here in NZ on pensions.
All NZers are eligible for a state funded pension at age 65.

My close relative decided not to claim his as he does not need it.
He has enough savings to live a modest life without state welfare payments and has chosen to not claim.

I asked Stackers what they would do.

All said they would claim it.

There goes your bleating witch hunt - you yourself claim welfare for creatives in Iceland.
@denlillaapan is a parasite and hypocrite.

Solutions of the type "If only everyone would just..." are not solutions.

reply

Nono, not out of the goodness of their heart -- I'm going to bully them into submission. Eventually, I think I'll win
