Well that's sickening! Yesterday, the New York Post had an article about covid helping to make the over 60 crowd even richer.

Said the over 60 crowd owns like 80% of the stuff.  The photo shows a well dressed couple (but at least, the couple is a man and a woman - not some weird-arse arrangement) on their yacht, arm and arm, looking out at the sea.  Around them, they are being showered with money.  My first thought, upon seeing the article was, oh goody, another reason to seriously tick off young people. 

Yeah the oldsters have all the money, because for years these greedies have been cutting jobs with retirement benefits and health insurance.  Second thing that came to mind, while reading the article, was another article that said about 40% of retirees have less than 10k in savings.  Uh, probably older people who were shut out from their jobs - before covid - for no better reason than being over 50.  It's cheaper to hire young and overly-submissive - yeppers, more yacht money.

Third thought was, inheritance.  Will their kids benefit?  Oh wait a sec, with my generation marrying, divorcing, remarrying, divorcing, or just shacking up (alot of that skank going on) which kid, from which parent will get what?  That is, if the (wannabe) yacht-setting doesn't hog up the wealth - can and does happen.   Well one thing about all that drama, there's lawyer and para-legal jobs out there.

Gonna miss blogging, oh well...
