Is there any sense in being ageist?

There are some who say that the boomer generation has used all the money up and there won’t be any left for them. It is daft! Money circulating is a constant thing, as is taxation, so there’s still money flowing in the system.

What needs to be done is brown fields sites of old industrial buildings if possible needs to be built on with the necessary infrastructure. New housing projects need to be developed with lots of social housing where you become a tenant of the city authority. It is the start point for people to get on the housing ladder.

Government finds excuses not to do this. They are not providing according to the needs of their constituents and people. They are failing in their duty to do the right thing for them.

The retired not working are making more with a pension than i ever have while working two jobs. I cannot afford a car (or auto insurance). On the plus side the public bus runs more frequently.

@jehova Retirement pensions were devised to forestall senior citizen poverty. Not all pension schemes paid out, there were some that didn’t accrue the funds to pay a decent pension wage

@jehova They probably had good employer-pension schemes and may well have also established private pension plans many years ago - but that does need a good salary in long-term employment for that, and many people have neither.
