    Considering The richest idiots ripping people off and controlling politics are currently millennials and genx. The ones supporting them with influencing podcasts are spanning from genx to genz.

    First billionaire on the planet was a genx. Who is also estimated to be the first trillionaire.

    boomers in GOP are just quickly turning into puddle brain dementia and easily being controlled by these assholes and people keep voting them into the seat to be puppetted.

      You’re missing the forest for the trees.

      Yes, the first billionaire and ostensibly trillionaire is Gen X and the politicians are starting to move into the X/M range… and the M/Z are supporting it because they’re sucking up the marketing like a hoover with a plan…

      But Boomers still hold the majority of the wealth and make up a huge portion of the population. The billionaire class are going to grab as much of that as possible. Their imminent deaths will not create a massive redistribution of wealth. It will create a fucking feeding frenzy for the predator class.

      We can point fingers at this generation or that, but not much separates me from a Millenial in age - it’s not like a switch was flipped and this made-up term changes who I am. That’s the sociological equivalent to astrology.

        No I disagree. we absolutely should not distract from the point of hoarding by going off to make this a generational fight. That is pure bullshit. This is a class war. All generations are in on it just as they are a victim of it. So making it generational war is just pure ignorance at this point and it serves no purpose than to watch shit burn. You’re not being part of the solution here by protecting genx, millennials or genz and pretend like they are going to act any different with hoarding wealth. This is a human greed issue. It is an issue that affects the mind. Address it as such.

      For anyone else wondering, the world’s first USD billionaire was John D. Rockefeller in 1916. He was decidedly not Gen X.

          You may need to restate your point. It just came across as shitting on younger generations with incorrect facts. The generational infighting is ridiculous bullshit, and you’re propagating that
