How do you figure that boomers, as a collective cohort, are uniquely responsible for the increases in college tuition and housing prices?
I'm not stating your assertion is false, but I don't see the connection.
- lazide 2y agoNot the poster, but IMO it’s a bit like saying Gen Z is responsible for TikTok. If they weren’t there, or this was 100 years earlier, or Gen Z was fundamentally different than they had been raised to be, then yeah TikTok likely would not exist, or at least not be a notable problem. Post WW2 was an economic and population boom time. The boomers resulted from that boom, and the programs for them helped them, and that boom continued. Booms continue to grow until the fundamentals fall apart and the leverage can’t keep it going anymore - and then you get a bust. The longer and unhinged the boom, usually the longer and unhinged the bust. And here we are.
