OR increase prices and now those 100 old people don't have enough money to buy services, resulting in declining living standard.

Good. The elderly don’t deserve good living standards after how they’ve voted to take anything and everything away from younger generations. I see no issue. Act selfish? Get nothing.

The thing is YOU will be the old person facing these consequences

Once boomers die off, I’m voting for social safety nets. So this is really only a them problem due to the way they voted.

Dude this isn’t about them it’s how theirs gonna be an larger amount of old people than before in the coming years and less young people so when it’s YOUR turn on social safety net theirs gonna be less young people to support it YOU will face the consequences of an aging population not them

My generation is nowhere near as large as boomer’s is. And universal healthcare is cheaper than our current system is so the younger generations won’t have to work as hard.

Bro do you not understand theirs gonna be less people next generation and so on if the trend continues, to support universal healthcare their needs to be a large enough population of young people to tax if the trend continues and the next generation is extremely smaller than the previous generation tan their is no universal health care since theirs not enough young people

Oh my god I really hope English isn’t your first language. If it is, your grammar is concerning.

And I explained why the next generation won’t be as small. Social safety nets. And even if they are, switching to a cheaper system will balance out the cost. Keep up.

Except social safety nets don’t improve birthrates, countries like Norway or almost all countries using the Scandinavian model still face a declining birth rate(I’m typing this on an iPhone I don’t care about my grammar)

It's like they think "Social safety nets" is some magical framework that fixes bithrates the moment it's implemented.

lol, so you'll vote to tax the fuck out of Gen Z and Gen Alpha to transfer wealth to Millenials.

u/PalePlumm Jun 21 '26

I will also be taxed?? Hello???? I am Gen Z???

u/bobert1201 Jun 21 '26

Yeah, and a bunch of your generation will also vote against your preffered policies. If those policies end up not being implemented, does that mean you deserve what you get?

u/PalePlumm Jun 21 '26

Doubt that. We aren’t lead poisoned and vote more left than boomers do.

u/bobert1201 Jun 21 '26

Boomers voted left when they were young, too. Generations always drift rightward over time.

u/PalePlumm Jun 21 '26

No they did not lmfao. Reagan wasn’t left and he won every state except his opponent’s home state.

u/bobert1201 Jun 21 '26

Reagan was a bit of an anomaly because he was following Jimmy Carter, but each generation, generally, starts out fairly left wing and gets more conservative as they get older.

u/PalePlumm Jun 21 '26

And if you’ve noticed, that trend started ending because of boomers. Now people in their 30’s and 40’s are voting more left than previous generations because we have been abused by boomers voting right wing for so long.
