      Is it boomers that made homes and college unaffordable? I thought it was massive corporations like Blackrock buying up every SFH they can get their hands on, and universities inflating their tuition rates.

        no it’s the lack of building supply and market liquidity.

        Shit like airbnb is going to have a more influential effect on the market than something like blackrock.

        Boomers repealed all the laws on those guys in exchange for better returns on the 401ks and home sales.

        They sold humanity to our corporate overlords, they need to be held to account.

        They’re so anti-socialism: Suspend Medicare for 10 years, let the system sort itself out.
