    Unless you’re among the top 2%, it’s likely you’re just fucked. We’re all in this boat together, and it’s taking on water.

    Now, who are you gonna vote for? The guy with a leaky bucket who says “let’s get to work,” or the guy brandishing the hand drill and a nasty grin?

    I will take no further questions.

    All of us are…

    Even boomers, who hold a shit ton of wealth as a generation, are fucked on average.

    That year, 30% of people over 65 were economically insecure, meaning they made less than $27,180 for a single person.

    Most of the ones who do have net wealth, its because they bought a house decades ago. If they sell it, it goes straight to rent.

    It’s why it’s so infuriating when Biden tries to brag about the economy.

    It’s only helping a very small chunk of Americans, and he’s ignoring all of us.
