Yes, as the boomers die the economic inequality will continue to get even worse. Some of the younger people I know have already been left large sums, others will recieve large sums and many will get nothing. The ones with the inheritances are even more privileged than the boomers, they get to work or not work, to set up well-funded in business or to pursue vocational goals. I wonder at times whether this is a contributory factor to th rise of non-participation in the workforce which has the government so worried?

In any event, I agree with Jacob, this is a class struggle, there are arseholes in each generation and the generational struggle ideas being promoted by all forms of media are a distraction.

I'm thinking how funny this can work. As you may know from BR my family isn't going through a particularly good financial situation. Yet my nephew will inherit 5 homes (provided we don't lose any of them in the coming months/years) on account of him being the only child in the entire family (I'm childless, and so are the other two aunts/uncles, plus he'll get all the grandparents' stuff on both sides). He will easily live off rent and do whatever.

The Big Ten

Sixteen of the Eighteen schools

Admittedly, I don't follow US college sports at all, but The Big Ten are in fact the Big 18? Seems... odd.

Been watching Alien Earth. The first 3 episodes I thought were a right mess, but it picked up in the fourth when I was about to drop the show altogether.

Each of the 8 conveniently are not up for reelection till 2028 or are retiring. Which, to me, means Schumer and Durbin are either complicit or incompetent. Either way, they need to be replaced in their positions and voted out, too.
