9/ sure, but that's mostly midwits repeating advice that worked for them, not an intentional act of sabotage against their own children intended to effect wealth transfer my argument is "crap happened, and 'boomers' as a whole aren't conspiring villains" https://twitter.com/DeanBradleySFF/status/1290323631315222534 …
