The Government asks Gen Z and Millennials To Have More Kids
Build free houses Give free healthcare Do literally…anything, something about climate change
But also, if the US had a “population problem” (it doesn’t) the easiest solution is let in all the immigrants that dems and republicans are currently working together to shoot at the border. That’s not a long term solution, but, it’s the obviously moral thing to do in the short term and in the long term end the reason for asylum seekers eg end US imperialism and malignant influence in South America (and elsewhere)
One more thing to add is to mandate baby boomers to retire already, so gen X and millennials can be promoted and then entry-level jobs can exist again.
No boomers, I’m NOT going to sacrifice my dreams and be your plumber. I fully intend to use my degree whether you like it or not.
My dad, a boomer, is now on his third career…
To be clear, he absolutely doesn’t need to work. But he keeps going… he’s very healthy too. Early 60s, good health, works out still, so he could easily work another 15-20 years assuming his health doesn’t decline rapidly. It’s kinda crazy. I ask him all the time like “Dad, why don’t you just retire for real…” “oh, I don’t know what I’d do then.” And he smiles. The mind of a boomer is an enigma.
My mom is basically the same. She gets social security and she’s constantly (constantly dude) complaining to me about restrictions on how much she can work and get benefits from retirement and I’m like “Mom! Just retire!” She doesn’t have multiple pensions like my dad (what an incredibly different world my parents lived in), but he’s always supported her while she raised their kids and she works part time jobs for something to do. She loves those shitty little jobs and absolutely can’t stop.
Boomers just can’t stop working. It’s crazy. And to he 100% crystal clear here, my parents absolutely do not need to work another day and they’ll be fine. It really boggles my mind and annoys me, which seems to confuse them. I just don’t get it. Wtf is wrong with boomers
God, I wish that would happen. But the time boomers are actually (forcibly) retired, gen X and millennials will be old as fuck and their lives mostly wasted already. And automation increases anyways.
