The issue I have is that the idiots shouting are 100% not allowing any counter argument to be heard. That is narcissist/psychotic/spoiled-brat behaviour.
The backs of many legs need a good slap I think.
I don't believe it's as simplistic as Im-a-ridah makes out.
'Boomers' (Racist labeling ) did not remove the next gen's options. The Politicals they voted in made the changes.
Boomers were probably duped by the mumbo-jumbo-soup/'well meaning' rant of university educated Lefties of the time 70s/80s.
I have fuck all to base this on. |
The Boomers generation were the ones who implemented the policies.
Boomer action: Ship a great many of the industrial and production jobs to China/India, also open up borders to mass immigration to massively increase competition for jobs in that sector that remain.
Result: Younger generations have little or no capital to buy houses or start families let alone invest in a business!
Boomer action: Buy house for £40,000, then add a zero to the price. Declare themselves rich as a result.
Result: Younger generations can't afford the houses. Boomers then say well I bought a house when I was 20, neglecting to mention that the depost younger gens need is more than what they paid!
The fact is to be a capitalist, you need to have capital. In the same way that communism leads to an equal share of nothing, capitalism leads to a 4% growth rate on 0, which is nothing.
There's more of course....
+ Boomers giving themselves massively inflated company pensions, not paying nearly enough into the pot to pay for it, then expecting younger gens to use their contributions to pay out these benefits while either getting no or tiny pension themselves
+ Boomers leaving a massive national debt and maxing out the state credit card so there isn't even any money left to invest for themselves. Atr the same time younger gens also have to pay off said debt. UK national debt is 100% of GDP!!!
In short boomers came along, climbed the ladder, lived lavish lives, then pulled up the ladder. Now they sit in an ivory tower and moan "oooh it weren't like this when I were a lad", and "why don't younger people do X, Y, Z, and if anyone blames me for it they aren't taking personal responsibility". That's right Jim, when I were their age I bought a house, car and had a well paying job, and my parents wanted me to have a better economic future than they did! |

The answer is simple really, create these same incentives again for Millennials and Gen Z. High house prices, massive levels of student debt because the fees were tripled, no capital to start business combined with a fear of debt, deindustrialisation, and the damage from either 1 (Gen Z) or 2 (Millennials) economic depressions all combine to mean that there isn't really any point in playing the sensible game as they have lost before they start. So instead they can just go around virtue signalling about BLM or whatever. These factors all make them vulnerable to the propaganda of the communists and the extreme left. |
You seem to have forgotten the far right in there. Thats where the no skill disaffected usually turn to. |

I would like to suggest that part of the answer may be to allow no more billionaires. That's not to say people can't get wealthy, afford nice things, nice homes for their families. But who really needs that much personal wealth?
That kind of figure should be the preserve of governments. And yes, we need to reform our systems of government, but without the patronage of the extremely wealthy, that might be easier to achieve. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

You can have billionaires move abroad and invest in someone else's country. |
Yeah, the global aspect is problematic

Some wild reasoning there. 🤣
It's the loss of national industries paying into the pot that stripped the pot.
Reduced corporate duties, increased foreign imports and investment from foreign entities who do not pay back to the nation. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 3 years, 310 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
