        No, they’ll spend all their money on end of life care. Nursing and retirement homes have skyrocketed in price just like everything else. Their money is going back up the chain to the billionaires, not to our inheritance.

      Gen X is still bigoted af, and millenial/zoomer white males are still disputed. Not to mention the self-sustaining rural/urban divide.

      I’m excited too but not too hopeful.

      GenX here. So, I get to be suppressed by the Boomers my whole life and, just when the pay-out is due to arrive, it will switch to persecution by the millennials as payback for the crimes of my abusers.

    The American sphere of influence is palpable here. Trudeau, Poilievre, and Singh are all gen-x. The average age of politicians here is not as geriatric as American congress.
