  Exactly. Class is the biggest thing that divides us, the rest is a distraction.

  Most billionaires are also boomers. The class war and the war against gerontocracy are one and the same.

    There are shitty people in every generation.

    • Andrew Tate, for example.
    • Nick Fuentes is another shitty, shitty dude

      Neither of those are billionaires.

      Gerontocracy is fundamentally an issue of the few holding more than their fair share of wealth and power at the expense of others and pulling the ladder up behind them. It is a class issue same as everything else.

        We’ve got Sam Altman and Taylor Swift in the millennial category off the top of my head. Elon Musk is Gen x, not a boomer. So boomers have Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia at the moment, but soon they’ll go to gen X and the problems will perpetuate.

    Musk is Gen X, Suckerberg is a Millenial, Luckey is a Zoomer, etc. etc.

    Money generally takes some time to acquire, so many ultra rich will skew towards older demographics by volume. As Boomers die, it will be mostly Millennial billionaires as we’re the biggest age demographic alive now.
