So I was listening yesterday and the reported says something like… Young people have a hard time getting a mortgage because the older generation has low mortgage rates…blah blah…but now they’re all loosing jobs, getting sick etc so “that will unlock housing or mortgages” something annoying like that.

Well yeah. It happens every generation. Until I suppose nobody can make enough money to rent either much less have a mortgage. I much rather hear about mortgage rates coming down after another happy CEO event. Yeah fucking unlock that shit please!

    The wealth transfer isn’t going to happen. Its being eaten by elder care and medical industries, and any other predatory businesses that want a slice of the pie.

          Medicare Advantage took the house. Medicaid is the government run healthcare for poor people, and normal Medicare is the government run healthcare for old people. Medicare Advantage is the private plan for old people being paid for with a reverse mortgage. After they die the health insurance and the bank get to fight over the house.

      Yeah I was going to say, our country is setup to drain any savings you have before you die via medical debt. Isn’t transferred to the next generation it’s intercepted by parasites.
