Submission statement: This is a pretty great article for quantifying just how much of a wealth explosion older Americans have seen over the last decade or so. Despite being the most well-off group in the nation by far, politics are still bending to make their lives ever more comfortable.
I’d also note that this article doesn’t even touch on things like NIMBYism, where it’s overwhelmingly older homeowners blocking new construction and renters/younger residents from moving in and building wealth.
