    Dying and leaving us holding the bag.

    Rather, dying and leaving it all to the few sycophantic offspring they've managed to brainwash to continue their legacy.

        Firing the FED chairman and putting a political appointee in his place. It's kicking the ladder out from underneath you while you hang yourself with Epstein's rope.

          Go full zombie (with the help of Fox 'News').

          Then put all of their assets into Trump coins.

            this.. this is absolutely my exact life situation right now.

            like we don't agree about ANYTHING even though i am literally watching them suffer from the consequences of how they've been voting since they came of age (fuck Reagan)

            why do i keep hanging out with them? because they have a boat? i don't think it's worth it anymore

            ugh

              Sell all their homes to corporation in a reverse mortgage, so they get the cash now and the homes stay off the market for young people.

                Figure out a way to live an extra 10 years so any money they have left goes right into the healthcare system never to be seen again.

                  It's been happening for a while. Aged care is very expensive, and is often secured with assets. These places will take all the hoarded wealth before it can transfer to anyone who needs it.

                  Some would say the answer is to not outsource care of our loved ones, but how do we do that without housing or job security, in an economy where nobody has the time for it?

                        A lot of the cash will go on healthcare. But a bunch will go on trips in retirement and other stuff..of course no wealth transfer any more except for the uber wealthy.

                        It's a case of the young no longer having a large sun of money at once to buy a house while also taking housing off the market. This reduces supply and demand keeping prices somewhat affordable for corps but out of reach for people. Renting is the new serfdom.

                          Blocking all progress on climate change in order to squeeze every last ounce of profit out of the fossil fuel industry...and then watching the world burn from their private orbital habitat.

                                Nah, pets are too mortal. They'll be donated to the historical association and be considered landmarks we can neither destroy or live in.

                                  I think crashing the dollar is more likely to screw the boomers than the young. They have the wealth which will devalue. The super wealthy with generational wealth will be fine as inflation will help their assets. the boomers transitioning from assets to cash for stability in retirement will be screwed.

                                    There is also the faintest possible possibility that some sort of home health care robot will become available in the next 20 years or so, but it'll probably be very expensive.

                                        I mean, young people can't afford their houses, at some point something's gotta give, or yeah they'll sell them to corporations.
