Boomers see children both as an expression of their love towards their partner and as pets, ie a direction and source of direct emotional affection, to be given free reign within their own economic system. Because of this hyper-focus on direct emotional affection rather than other forms of support, we see children of boomers receiving little to no financial compensation for their existence, work, or activities. This may partly explain the socialist/capitalist divide between millennials and boomers today. | Boomers see children both as an expression of their love towards their partner and as pets, ie a direction and source of direct emotional affection, to be given free reign within their own economic system.

This means everyone below age 53 in America only owns 20% of all the wealth in America and only a quarter of the real estate market. They are also not expected to leave any of it for their children, which is horrifying and will leave millenials in extreme poverty unless Boomers blow up the world with nuclear bombs in a fit of existential dread. Boomers blame millennials for not having enough money, but are in control of the issuance of new dollars, and they also have all of the money. [[gaslighting|So they are quite literally not giving millennials money and then blaming them for it]]. This generation is also responsible for the general government budget tightening in the 80s onward, which is also insane and will guarantee rampant millennial poverty unless millennial's learn from their parents mistakes (unlikely). | ||
