+1 to your whole list.
But not only that. The older generation should be intentionally and voluntarily spreading their wealth to help individual young people and families of their acquaintance and in their communities.

Or they can continue to live an upper upper middle class life with vacations every six months and new cars and constant Amazon spending and yadda yadda because they earned it (never mind that it was under different conditions), and then can bitch and moan until they die about how all the younger people are ungrateful, while the government goes more and more socialist leading to them INVOLUNTARILY spreading their wealth, except now they don’t get to help their own kids or acquaintances but instead are funding endless wars and other bullshite that impoverishes everyone except politicians and their owners.

Boomers want to sit on their piles of cash and wipe their hands of responsibility. Apres moi, Le deluge! is basically their generational mantra.

It's their money, they earned it. It's none of our fricking business how they spend it. It's fricking math you retards. You don't make enough to support yourself, you either cut spending or make more money. You "shouldn't have to do that" is a failure's mantra. A guy I work with delivered GD pizzas to get out of credit card debt after his divorce.
