i expected less than nothing from this article, but this that pure, uncut cringe
So Millennials have a right to be frustrated. But what makes many of them irate is watching the older generations milk the system at their expense, through what some economists call “Boomer socialism.”
and then the next paragragh starts like this
Consider the generous but unsustainable public pensions going to Boomers in most developed countries, which are paid for largely by Millennials and Xers.
but it gets better
This distress, coupled with the hypocrisy of Boomers who claim to oppose big government while enjoying it in so many ways, explains why Millennials have been trending left and even embracing the loaded word “socialism.” It’s these fed-up young voters who boosted the campaigns of lefty Boomer populists like Bernie Sanders in the U.S. and Jeremy Corbyn in the U.K.
Whether Millennials actually use the word “socialism” properly — as government ownership of the means of production — is moot. More likely, they simply want better public policy that addresses their specific problems. Even then, however, they often fall prey to political snake oil such as rent controls or wealth taxes.
being smug about knowing what socialism is better than 'millennials', while clearly not knowing what socialism is lol. and they called bernie a boomer when he's like 137 years old. i've missed getting mad at articles like this :grinning face with smiling eyes:
Apparently not snake oil: universal "access" to healthcare, "simplified" (flat) taxes, and cutting retirement benefits. So brave to propose rebranded austeriy.

Everyone deserves four walls and a roof, especially landlords.
spoiler
The roof is for if the previous four walls don’t do the trick.
Well I want Maoist style public landlord trials who's going to cater to my special interest?
