    I live in a medium sized southern town (US) and it’s already happening. We have one homeless shelter that I drive past every day. It’s mostly folks 50 and over. Several in wheelchairs. I’ve seen at least two folks in chairs with no legs. The crowd seems to get bigger every month. There’s a row of abandoned businesses across the street and lots of them set up tents there during the day. Some just sleep on the ground out in the open. One of the deepest red states btw.

      well at least you have shelters. some communities not even have that. oh and if you set up your own tent, guess what, that’s illegal too.

        in small rural communities, there’s often only one political organization. i’ve been there, i’ve seen it. i wanted to vote left but guess what, they don’t even run. and those that do are fringe groups with no connections.

    It’s already happening. The fastest growing segment of the homeless is the 55+.

    It’s already happening. Most boomers aren’t ready to retire.

      I thought boomers have all the wealth? At least relatively? Where’s it go?

        They do have “all” the wealth, or at least a disproportionate amount of it.

        However, just because boomers have all the wealth does not mean that all boomers are wealthy.

        “boomers have all the wealth” is something that younger people post on social media to have some group to hate on to feel better about their own situation. it’s not actually true. most boomers are about as wealthy or poor as you’d expect a normal person to be, some built some wealth a few decades ago when wages were still high, some are broke.
