        @BernardKeane Increasingly courageous to pitch policies that unfairly favor a dwindling and dying voter vase.

        @NewtonMark @BernardKeane But BBs still large part of electorate. And many are already retired and so unable to alter arrangements.

        @ozkatz @BernardKeane Why would they need to alter their arrangements if they've spent whole lives enriching themselves for retirement?

        @NewtonMark @BernardKeane They did the tilting. From 60s onwards they seized the political agenda. But again not all prospered.

        @ozkatz @BernardKeane "Not all prospered" is completely normal. Nobody else gets policy protection by making that argument.

        @NewtonMark @BernardKeane True. But BBs know how to punish unfriendly politicians. It's a valuable talent. Other generations should try it.
