The baby boomer generation and not retiring and instead going into more management and corporate positions is killing us.
You can walk into a corporate office and fire anyone with a title 3 words or longer and the company would run just fine.
Extra management and extra corporate overlords balloon prices it’s not as many people in the economy producing anything of value. Just adding a tariff to someone else’s services or products. Cause they have to get paid too right? Where’s that money gonna come from? From charging more and stealing workers wages.
When baby boomers were entering young adulthood the economy flourished because of how much we could produce, and there was no generation equal to or greater in size right after to support them when they moved up in position, lower tier positions stayed empty.
Baby boomers ever since their creation have just been this burden filled lump of gold getting kicked down the road until now we are on a rickety bridge, and you cannot build a good bridge for generations out of gold.
