    I’m not going to lambast anyone that got a cheap house at a low interest rate, then worked for 50+ years to get to retirement to find out they need more money.

    What if you found out they also voted like dogshit for 50+ years, leading to the situation we, and they, find ourselves in?

    It’s not like all of these boomers are sitting on millions

    No, but most of them voted like dogshit anyway.

    I hope someday I approach retirement with enough money to live out the rest of my life in relative comfort.

    I hope you do too. But only if you voted to help others along the way.

    We all know boomers that aren’t wealthy, but still voted like assholes anyway. My father is one of them. They’re in the same shit we are, but voted to hurt others, and themselves, anyway. Pretty goddamn stupid.
