What's going to be the final way that boomers pull up the ladder behind them?
-
In the U.S., project 2025.
I remember reading an analysis before the inauguration that it was expected to take 40 years to reverse all of the policies that Trump told people at the time he would implement, and now, I shudder to think how long it will take to reverse the current dammage

My dad gets a kick out of hearing how bad the environment is. He literally wants the world to die with him. I think most boomers feel that way. I think they truly would love the word to be nucked. They don't give two shits about any other generation. Thats why they don't care about climate change. They truly so selfish that the world should die with them and we all suffer.

Eh, here in Sweden it is normal to reuse grave sites, you normally get a grave site for 25 years, but it can be extended.
The relatives of the person buried can extend the time that the gravesite is yours, but it costs money.
Sooner or later the gravesite is returned to the church to be reused.
Is everything broken down in 25 years or do they do something with the remains?

Gravesites. There will be no room to bury Gen X and down.
Good thing more and more people are choosing cremation these days.

Most people here are cremated, I also remember the urn my grandfather was buried in was biodegradable so after 25 years there is nothing really left.
I don't know if everything is broken into 25 years, or so, that is just what I read on the Chruch of Sweden's website.

Yes, I agree. The ultra rich won't be affected as their assets price will rise. The boomers who have reverse mortgages their house have cash, or a perpetuity. The asset will rise. Their money will not.
The poor will certainly be worse off, as they always are. The young will be worse off. However, their wages will rise to catch up. Maybe not enough, but a rose nonetheless. The boomers depending on the reverse mortgage income or the cash pile from the agreement will just have devaluation.
Boomers will be more worse off in dollar terms and percent of wealth lost. At least, that's my guess.

That's the way it is in a lot of European countries. Every single acre of land would be a gravesite if not for this system.

The Me generation has already pulled the ladder so high, that most of Gen X never made it onto even the bottom rung.
Their parents named them The Me Generation. They tried to stick that label on Gen X, not realizing that they didn't have enough of us for us to ever be relevant.
The Greediest Generation will be taught about, as the people who were so shortsighted they sold out themselves and their next 5 generations of offspring.

They're GONNA die. They don't get life extension tech. For one thing, they're already too old for it to do much for them.
