Us millenials are going to become the next boomers. The other generations around us like genX, zoomers and genA are comparatively smaller than the millenial generation, substantially so in the UK where I live.
Can't wait until my peers and I capture the legislators and start redirecting all of society's resources into our interests.
Edit: Already drafting comments to leave on the comments section of major newspaper articles about how genA need to pull themselves up by their bootraps, stop enjoying avocados, and cultivate some "stick-tuitiveness" (sub in other made-up phrase here).
You're a billionaire?
I was thinking of doing it how the boomers have done. Old people make up a majority of the voters, especially if their generation makes up a plurality of the society's demographics. So basically boomers were able to demand all the assistance in terms of acquiring assets (including low taxes) and now they've got them they are demanding all the social security goes their way despite it being less than they paid in initially.
Millenials need to make up for lost time though. Maybe we can tell the politicians we'll only vote for parties that exempt over 60s from any form of taxation and demand that the state retirement payments triple. Just for a start... then we can live another 20-40 years and gradually claw more each year.
Edit: Another idea, we could start building affordable housing again but earmark them as only being for millenials. This is going to be sweet!
But they're not aligned on policy. They go whichever way local news and the regional cultural touchstones tell them to go.
Boomers up in Portland and Seattle have very different politics than the retirees out in Savannah and Boco Raton.
I was just shitposting really. It might be UK-specific since the boomer old folks here are all aligned on big policies like "the triple lock" (state pension rising with avg earnings, inflation or 2.5% each year).
