Home ownership for under 65s, so your nonboomers, is still 57%. That's plenty to carry an election when you add in all the strivers.

Elections aren't going to be engines of change anyway unless something else radically changes first. Look at how the tools and organs of the ruling class, the mechanisms of government which should have meant something happened when a line was transgressed and the liberal intelligentia and media who should have resisted the course that British society has set itself on, all revealed their class position over the last 6 years and at best did nothing, at worst cheered it on. Go back and read my post about the role of the state in class society, it's not just a doomer post, it's explaining the active forces in society. Anyway remember last year when that copper on the horse charged into the traffic light? Good times.

It wasn't super bad but it came on very quickly. They say these common side effects are like 1 in 10 so you may or may not get them.

I had covid a year ago and for all my complaining it’s no where near as bad as the real thing, and I got to wonder how dangerous getting it again would have been if I’m reacting to the vaccine.

Plenty for whom that's not gonna happen, but as we can clearly see, not everyone has to be comfortable, just about, oh let's call it 40% of the voting population? I'd like to think that inheriting a home won't suddenly turn every young person and leftie into a FYGM type. Maybe I'm just being optimistic and naïve but I have to cling to the belief that my generation and those after will be better. Not to mention the fact that inheritance is going to get more and more diluted over the next few generations as living costs rise and people living longer need to pay out the nose for more care with dwindling state support.

Wonder what the geographic allocation of the mRNA vaccines was. The evenness. And if AZ can’t keep up with the variants, how long before people have to pay to get working ones. Oh boy this could get so bad.

Is there some reason Jess Phillips was in Central London on a Sunday morning, other than to make sure she could get in front of a camera? I'm pretty sure travel is still restricted for non-essential business.

I broadly agree, but to your first point: Most people aren't lefties - they're politically unengaged, and it's very easy to turn someone like that into a FYGM type, imo.

Right now we're still in the period where most retired people have some income from defined benefit pensions accrued in their working life. Or if they do only have the state pension, they at least tend to have owned their home outright for a long time. All that has been dismantled, in 15 years we're going to start seeing the first large wave of people hitting retirement age with only what they've accumulated in DC pension schemes and that is only going to accelerate. There's going to be an enormous , social conflict-inducing wealth gap between people who worked in the public sector and are able to retire and people who worked in the private sector and never can.

DesperateDan posted:A large dead rat stuck in a wall/loft/floor will smell bad for a surprisingly long time yet yield little clue to exactly where it is for easy removal This a thousand times this. Do NOT put poison down yourself. Had my landlord do this in uni as we lived in terraced housing and the rat was running in the gaps between the floorboards. It'd wake me up scrabbling at night. It was a huge fucker. Had a run that ended in our kitchen where it'd come down from the ceiling and sit under the kitchen table. Students eh. The landlord poisoned it and it loving died under the sofa in the living room, which was off the kitchen (I think it was starting a nest in the sofa) We then had to scrape it off the floor with a shovel. Later we found the rest of them died in the walls and then came the flies. Not Fun. I can't even begin to describe the cloying, awful, unbelievable nose rending, can't breathe, smell. It's a smell you never forget as there's nothing else like it. It permeated the house and we had to have the carpets and sofa completely changed as it still reeked.

Maybe I'm just being optimistic and naïve but I have to cling to the belief that my generation and those after will be better. This, plus timings. My last remaining grandparent just died recently, leaving behind nothing because all her assets had gone to the (excellent) £1000 a week care home where she spent the last few years of her life with alzheimers. If she'd died like her husband - quickly and at home - there'd be some money. It's totally random who gets what (which is another good reason for inheritance not being a thing). Point being, I (early-mid 30s millennial) have only just lots my last grandparent, and if we're lucky, my siblings and I wouldn't inherit anything from my parents for another 30 years or so. Add in the dilution of 3 siblings, and it's not a very reliable or helpful method for an entire generation to get on the "housing ladder". Which leads onto... peanut- posted:The really animating question of the wealth of millennials (and gen x tbf) is going to be pensions. Right now we're still in the period where most retired people have some income from defined benefit pensions accrued in their working life. Or if they do only have the state pension, they at least tend to have owned their home outright for a long time. Not only sucky DC pensions, but also having to pay rent out of them, which isn't ever allowed to go down. It's a massive timebomb that no politician will ever care about until it hits.
