Experts have dubbed it a “silver tsunami.”

I wish I could feel sympathy, but I don’t. The Reagan generation did this to themselves, and the rest of us have to suffer with them.

    I agree. I guess I’m feeling schadenfreude because boomers are finally getting the short end of policies they supported their whole working lives. But nobody should be homeless.

      I mean, people are easily manipulated and the flow of information was funneled through even fewer sources back then. I do feel bad for them, and all of us subsequent generations, and the anger could be focused toward current politicians who can improve things instead of dividing us from our elders. Its all easy to see in hindsight of course.
