If we had robust public transport for everyone, this wouldnt be as big an issue.

Dont forget that it is not generation vs generation, its the 1% vs the working class.

    And a friendly reminder that boomers own far more than billionaires and as such are very much invested in the system. Your poverty allows them retirement.

    You're not wrong but let's start addressing wealth concentration with the trillionaire, and billionaires first. A lot of boomers may be millionaires but the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is a billion dollars.
