@DawnNeesom @OwenJones84 “Baby boomers expect nothing” 😂😂😂 ask ANY hospitality or retail worker what a typical complainer looks like and they’d describe her 100%

@DawnNeesom @OwenJones84 Another Middle Class old dear who is happy to shit on her children. I bet she voted 'Leave' too. How anyone in this country can put up with these wasters is beyond me.

@DawnNeesom @OwenJones84 Dawn seems to have forgotten free university, free dental care, free glasses and millions of council houses built.

@DawnNeesom @OwenJones84 This thoroughly pisses me off. Largely, millennials are renting their extortionate accommodation off boomers who bought them for 75p after they'd enjoyed their free education and 0 deposit purchases and what's left over is paying their pensions and healthcare.

@DawnNeesom @OwenJones84 Boomers Council Housing Free university Benefits Low cost of living Free school meals. Nationalised industries. Neither me or my kids have any of those. Luckily dinosaurs become extinction.

@OwenJones84 @DawnNeesom As a baby boomer, there's no question that millennials have it worse. Dawn either has a very selective memory or she has no idea how much harder it is for millennials.

@OwenJones84 @DawnNeesom I was born in 1976 (not sure where that places me) regardless of what group in belong to it’s ridiculous to think that things are easy for young people now. Housing prices are out of control and there are less council houses to go around…all bought up by my generation & before!!

@DawnNeesom @OwenJones84 It's not a good argument to say "we had it worse because things were bad years ago". The same should apply about every generation ever. The generation before boomers would say boomers are entitled because they didn't have to serve the prime of their youth in a war

Matt Walsh says the Boomer Generation had it far easier than generations today, they supported the immigration policies that have destroyed our country and they are very responsible for the cost of housing crisis “Boomers today control over 40% of the national real estate wealth, and about a quarter of them own a second home or a vacation property. One Northwestern Mutual survey found that less than a quarter plan to leave an inheritance to future generations. A Charles Schwab survey of high-net-worth Americans found that for nearly half of baby boomers, their priority, their top priority, is to, quote, enjoy my money for myself while I'm still alive” “Economically, the boomers did have it considerably easier than their children have it. When they started entering the housing market in the late 1960s, the dollar was still pegged to the gold standard. The immigration laws that transformed the country had only just passed, and so had not yet transformed the country. The cities were mostly still livable but in steep, swift decline because of laws supported by boomers. And it was easy to build new housing in suburbs which were hardly regulated. Boomer NIMBYs hadn't made it impossible to build in coastal California yet. Owning a home was the American dream, and it was an attainable one. Now that they've secured their dominant position in the American real estate market, boomers generally have done everything possible to make sure housing stays unaffordable” There is real data to support what he’s saying - 42% of U.S. real estate wealth is controlled by Baby Boomers - Boomers make up 42% of home buyers in recent data, they’re largest share of any generation - Homeownership rate for Boomers ages 62–80 is 80% - Roughly 1 in 4 Boomers own a second home, vacation property, land or rental in addition to their primary residence Inheritance Plans data from Northwestern Mutual in 2025: Only 22–31% of Boomers plan to leave a significant inheritance Gen Z young adults as little as 5–27% have homeownership Only 50% of Millennials can afford a home He’s also right immigration has drastically increased demand for homes

Former BlackRock fund manager Ed Dowd on the "dead real estate market" perpetuated by boomers who won't sell houses to millennials who can't afford them "[there's] a demographic problem... in the U.S.... home prices are 30% too high. So we have an affordability problem" "We have most of the boomers sitting on the real estate, and as they die off or sell off some of their secondary properties, they need to sell them to the millennials, but the millennials can't afford [them]" "So in the U.S., we have this bizarre dead real estate market where we have this phenomenon we haven't seen... well, I think, ever, where homes for sale versus homes sold is at a gap the likes of which we've never seen" "And that's been there since last year—it's only getting worse. So the markets are frozen and eventually, you know, frozen markets do move, but they move slowly" "and what we're seeing in the U.S. is we're seeing home prices decline in the red states along the southern border; the sanctuary cities are still holding up, but, you know, if the AI bubble pops, that's going to cause some of these boomers to put their second and third homes on the market, and then that that'll just, you know, continue the cycle of home prices rolling over" "But someone like you [a millennial who's] waiting, you're going to have an opportunity. You're going to have an opportunity to buy at a discount, and you'll be fine. And... people get bummed out about lower home prices, but... for every loser there's a winner, and... I'd rather see younger millennials that are starting families be able to afford a home than a boomer sitting on his three properties not spending any money because he's retired" New Era Finance Podcast Edward Dowd

NEW: Marjorie Taylor Greene describes her "disgust" with the Baby Boomers, as voters and in government "They're completely responsible for our nearly $40 trillion [of] debt" "They're the ones... glued... to the propaganda news" "Our current president falls in that category" "I'm fully disgusted at Baby Boomers that hold on to power in Congress and in the Senate and many elected positions" "Tragically, it may require the Baby Boomer generation passing away before Gen Z and even Millennials can fully get involved and work hard to take it [the positions of power in politics] back" Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 Tucker Carlson ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "If the younger generations truly rise up and decide to get politically active, they could fully take over and take the power away from the Baby Boomer generation. "The Baby Boomer generation is the generation that supports the current political industrial complex. They support it fully, Democrat and Republican. They're the ones that vote the most, they're the ones that donate the most, and they're the ones that remain glued to the television, to the propaganda news that they're fed every single day from the Left and the Right. "However, I fully believe that it's the younger generations that can make the difference. And educating them, harnessing their power and helping them understand that it's they who can take over and take control, then I think this country can be saved. "And I'll say one more thing about the Baby Boomers, and I really, I really attack the Baby Boomers a lot because I am angry about many of the things their generation has supported and done. I'm fully disgusted at Baby Boomers that hold on to power in Congress and in the Senate and many elected positions. "Even our current president falls in that category. He'll probably never want to leave the White House, and I'm sure me saying that will make headlines. However, I think those Baby Boomers are the most dangerous and they're completely responsible for our nearly $40 trillion in debt, the fact that Social Security will be completely insolvent in just six to seven years, and the very fact that young Americans have it much harder because our dollar is so weak. "Tragically, it may require the Baby Boomer generation passing away before Gen Z and even Millennials can fully get involved and work hard to take it back."
