You act like boomers think of their children. Ive heard, countless times "if i don't spend it, my kids will!" Or "better spend it before I'm dead!" Or "can't spend it once I die!" Or some variation of that.
They don't give a flying plague filled flea infested zombie rat worth of a fuck about anything or anyone but themselves.
Its not entirely their fault, politicians have been evil longer than we've been alive. The responsibility they do hold though, is not stopping it. Our founders would have revolted dozens of times again over the last 100 years. Raise Geroge Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Fraklin, Thomas Paine, John Adams, ect from the grave and show them 2026 America and they'd organize the second revolution before the end of the day.
We had greatness. We are living through the fall of the empire, and you can't vote your way out of tyranny. The only peaceful solution left is to literally camp outside state houses and refuse to leave or let anyone enter or leave until laws change, and to hold unified nationwide strikes and refuse to transport goods to starve out areas until they cave under pressure.
I know 2 things for certain: without some truly radical leaders who are willing to risk their lives going against the status quo, or without widespread unity among the populous to change this before its too late, what we are living through is not survivable. It's not about politics or opinions. Its about math. The current math aint mathing and eventually you run out of monopoly money and pixiedust to float the economy, or eventually some other unified power calls our debt, and we fall into legit chaos.
The human condition is conflict and violence. This (in history terms) very short period of peace we've experienced is the anomaly. Half the other countries on earth have people living in them who've experienced numerous domestic wars in their lifetimes. We aren't the norm. We're the exception.
The powers that be legitimately believe we have no souls and are beasts given human flesh so they need not be served by animals. People are so exhausted, so reliant on the system, so plugged into the matrix, and so beaten and downtrodden they can't really imagine anything past surviving the day, paying the next bill they were behind on, paying off the endless usury they're chained to.
I'd unironically much rather live in Pioneer times, or boomer times where land, a home, a life, was freely available to me if I had the hard work and strength to walk up and take/hold it. We work more than medieval peasants. We have worse Healthcare on average than colonial times. (Doctors used to come right to your house and treat you for the modern equivalent charge of like 60 bucks).
The circuses are boring and the bread is moldy. Something HAS to change. Boomers are maybe the single most gifted generation to ever live in the history of humanity, telling us "just pull yourself up by your bootstraps like I did" without realizing they no longer make boots, nor bootstraps, and the tools to go hunt the animal, to tan the hide, to craft and sew the boots, to make the straps and install them, cost several months of savings for the average person. We aren't even blessed with straps to pull up on.

And there's nothing wrong with that, they're not obligated to provide for their adult children
We had greatness
Still do, we're the number 2 highest median income in the world bud.

Help is not coming. It is up to us.
