They're planning something re the baby boomers and their property and pensions. There's a lot of talk in the financial press about a "historic transfer of wealth". If it were direct to their kids and grandkids I doubt we'd hear anything about it. I think that's why you're seeing increasing spite and vitriol directed at "boomers" online. It's fuelled by books like "The Pinch" by the top Tory David Willets and "A generation of sociopaths" by Bruce Gibney, a venture capitalist. Initially Remainers were behind a lot of the online carping in the UK but increasingly we're seeing journalists from the New Right like Mary Harrington and Louise Perry tweet about it a lot. I suspect also nefarious actors from America get in amongst the social media comments. Extremely sad and worrying if your parents are still around.
There is something very strange with the continued vandalism of the economy.
Solari report seem to think its a softening up of the target for a huge looting spree after the US election, we'll see soon enough.
My own view is that whatever was planned has been put on hold and there is a power struggle between the platonist and aristotelian sub factions of the oligarchy. Sadly both factions of that elitist polarity pantomime are both wrong.
Anyway I remain optomistic as other more pragmatic factions are winning the argument, including my own.
I find it troubling that Blair is sniffing around the pension funds. I think they could also use some spectacular bust in those plus inflation to get the "boomers" to sell up.
But anyway, we'll see. What faction do you belong to?
My faction is the regular citizenry Gerry. Every much as part of the Establisment as so called elites, of course in the UK we are Subjects not Citizens, I interpret that as mere semantics around our constitutional settlement.
I do to be clear consider myself to be part of the establishment and I am not anti-establishment. I am opposed to Elitism, technocracy and authoritarianism.

Hi Gerry,
