All these comments blaming poor boomers for having to work part-time minimum wage jobs shows that capitalistism's propaganda continues to work by getting us to believe there is a generational war when we're really in a class war. Most of us here will be in the same boat, unable to stop working in our elderly years and unable to get a job with a real wage.

The comments I'm seeing are people making fun of broke retirees for voting against their own interests not for being old.
