Experts have dubbed it a “silver tsunami.”

I wish I could feel sympathy, but I don’t. The Reagan generation did this to themselves, and the rest of us have to suffer with them.

    Generational fights are mostly incorrect. It is rarely one generation oppressing another or even themselves, it is class(es) oppressing others. It’s annoying when another generation is out of touch, though. Boomers are often, but not always, guilty of that.

    The homeless are generally the least to blame, they are the poorest of the poor in a capitalist hellscape. Their mistreatment at the hands of our economically-carved society also serves a function for the ruling class: it’s what will happen to you if you (allegedly) don’t accept that shit job for that subsistence pay.

    Rather than directing your frustrations at generations or the poorest and least powerful, get organized to fight the ongoing class war. The ruling class is always fighting it whether you join or not.

      I’m starting to see their being out of touch as partly because they only engage within their generation. If we want to put a stop to generational shit what we need to do is build more cross-generation communication. Arguably social media is doing this already though.
