    Of course it’s the super rich, but who is voting for policies that support the super rich? It’s not young people.

      Well the young don’t vote at all most of the time.

      But when was the last time you saw a party with policies that didn’t support the super rich? Since Reagan, no matter if the president wears a red or blue tie, the rich have gotten richer.

      The only choice is how much poorer the poor get, with a side order of “other” hate. When the Zoomers are 50, don’t worry. There’ll be a whole new bunch of “others” to hate on, to distract them from the fact that they can just barely pay the rent. The boomers thought they’d be different too. Peace and love and hippies and Woodstock. Gen Z will be no different.
