@QasimRashid Please don't make this about boomers vs. younger generations. Few if any of us would brag or gloat about the difficulty our children and grandchildren are having in purchasing a home.
Boomers did not close the door. It's complicated. Lay most of the blame on wealthy interests who with help of GOP policy commodified housing.
Instead of blaming boomers look for solutions. It will take all of us to fix this.

@Barbramon1 @QasimRashid and, I’m barely a “boomer”, by a couple months.
Ive never been paid a fair wage & could never purchase a home or anything too nice.
Lost 401k’s twice. And I’m even white.
Not everyone got those breaks.

@RiaResists @QasimRashid As a divorced female boomer it took me many yrs to save enough money to buy my first home in MA. At a point interest rates were close to 20%. I waited until rates were in low double digits to buy. A récession enabled me to buy foreclosed property.
A poster whom I since blocked called boomers apologists. I won't tolerate it. Voted blue in every election, trying to give everyone a chance to live their best life.
Those who would divide us by generation do real damage.

@Barbramon1 @QasimRashid @RiaResists Replace capitalism with Doughnut Economics. If we do not replace capitalism, there will be major social unrest and it could easily lead to bloodshed.

@Runyan50 @QasimRashid @RiaResists Sufficient numbers of people need to recognize that unrestrained capitalism is a huge Ponzi scheme. The numbers are not there yet, or we'd be seeing more movement toward making fundamental changes.
