Do older gens have too much of the pie?

[OddBeMe]

Perhaps we Purge style baby boomers in arenas.

Yes, there is limit to wealth and it’s not where should be

No! There’s no limit to wealth. And I have no idea how economics work!

Do you even know what the pie is? This is what everyone labors produces, the more people labor to produce the more pie there is. The only question is why are younger generations producing soo much less than their parents. A lot of that comes down to being less free to do so.

Trump kind of proved this when he started to free us up more, wages and productivity went up again.

[OddBeMe]

The pie can grow. But there’s still a limit. And the % rarely changes.

@oddbeme
The only limits is that which we impose upon ourselves as a ratio of how many people we have to work.
One of the big problems with younger generations aside from a general lack of freedom is how few of them there are. This effects the scalability of their industries, values, and impact.

The only other effect is of course that same lack of freedom, in democracy the larger generations will restrict freedom to advantage themselfs.
In this way its specifically hurting younger generations in terms of restricted housing supply to protect existing value of the older generations. There is also a lot of taking advantage of their ignorance to push their own agenda. As well as a lot of inflationary thief which actually does hurt the younger generation the most depended upon the dollar the most.

That said inflation is harmful to everyone who is poorly invested including elderly on fixed income in poorly managed investment schemes.

Every generation, when they're coming out of school, thinks that. The difference now is that too many people have voted democrat for too long, and now they're screwed. Sorry, but you can't blame that on us.

[OddBeMe]

So for the first time new gens have it worse than previous gens. And it’s our fault?

Older gens voted Reaganomics which sunk us in this hole.

[Billlewis]

I respectfully disagree. Reagan wasn't exactly a genius, but he wasn't trying to destroy the country, either. The same cannot be said about the current regime.

[OddBeMe]

Didn’t say he was. I’m not a right winger so I think pols can make mistakes without wanting to destroy the country. But “trickle down” was the worst economic model ever made.

[monorprise]

@OddBeMe Don't try to sell that absurd lie, Reaganomics worked wonderful. Creating one of the largest economic booms in American history. In fact one might say it worked even better than Trumponomics in creating a lasting economic boom.

i read that article too. yes the baby boomers ruined it for everyone. they either saved it or squandered it. my parents have nothing. those selfish bitches thought it would go on forever. i consider my father stupid and selfish regardless.

The thing about pie is; if you want more you should bake more.

[OddBeMe]

So just print more money?

[shortster]

Printing money is baking a pie.
