I am explaining GP's point. He said the cohort is rich. It is true. There is more total wealth in older generations. I do claim it as fact.

It is also true that oldsters vote more. We can speculate on why that is. I say it's because they don't have jobs or anything else to do besides bingo night.

Next question.

It’s not a question, it’s an incredulous reaction to someone playing word games to fake having a point. “More boomers are wealthy than other groups” doesn’t imply that there isn’t a full distribution of net worths in the elderly, including in debt and penniless.

I wanted to follow the rules and try to be charitable, but you’re making it impossible to conclude that you’re worth talking to.
