I was just shitposting really. It might be UK-specific since the boomer old folks here are all aligned on big policies like “the triple lock” (state pension rising with avg earnings, inflation or 2.5% each year).
Keeping pensions above CoL is generally good for everyone, always, as you’re eventually going to be on the receiving end of those benefits. I’m in my late-30s and I’d support that.
What I’m less enthusiastic about is the defunding of public education, mass transit, and social services in exchange for more and more and more cops. But the UK doesn’t really have that problem. Y’all defund everything.
But they’re not aligned on policy. They go whichever way local news and the regional cultural touchstones tell them to go.
Boomers up in Portland and Seattle have very different politics than the retirees out in Savannah and Boco Raton.
