Imagine having the power of a boomer. That is, prior to them, women wern't really in the workforce and most every previous generation suffered massive casualties due to one factor or another keeping the workforce fairly small and stagnant. Why is it that wages never kept pace with inflation the Libtard asks? Why it's because the supply of labor was never higher than it is now. The reason boomers are so coddled was that the market simply never adjusted to them quickly enough. The moment they entered the scene along with the first large crops of working women, wage growth should have tanked right then and there. But, nobody expected that every boomer would survive, after all world war three always seemed around the corner and there was a massive need to build up capability and technology. As a result, boomer wages were almost identical to what they were a generation before. They were payed and pandered to as if they were a scarce resource. What we see now as X'ers and Millennials as far as wages and corporate interests in our desires is reflective of our value as a resource. It is the market and no magic fix exists for it other than again restricting the labor pool. Injection of propaganda aside and outside manipulation, what we have and what we get from the market is due directly to there being to many damn people. This is why importing excess population from the global south is all the worse for the future. Not for all the reasons we already know, but because its started another massive population boom that will impact global markets even of larger numbers of first world countries suddenly adopted isolationist and nationalist policies. Its human inflation, arguably hyperinflation. A boomer's was a hundred dollar silver certificate to later generations Zimbabwean billion dollar bill. Told we are special, valid, and worth face value but in reality devalued to the point of ridiculousness because the PtB wont stop printing more even tough all the evidence shows we should.
Even as a teenager in the 80s I knew the News Anchor was reporting population growth everytime he said "economic growth."
