That little crumb, or their generation wealth.

When they are old and conservative enough they are more than welcome to gets washed away in a Florida hurricane after moving there

I've always been more of a moderate but I'm moving farther left

filkerdave.bsky.social•603 days ago

Every time I hear that I think on how much further to the left I've moved as I've gotten older and more established in life.

Same. I started out in college as a Reagan supporter. Now…? Not so much.😂

My gay ass only got more liberal. I used to be more conservative when I was younger.

People don’t get more conservative as they age, they just get more conservative as they accumulate wealth. And that doesn’t happen as you age anymore. :P

filkerdave.bsky.social•603 days ago

Not sure it's entirely true. I've certainly accumulated more wealth than I had when I was younger and it's only pushed me further left.

Same. I have more wealth than I’ve ever had in my entire life, And my politics have trended in exactly the opposite direction as I’ve gotten older.

Same for me, too.

madphysiologist.bsky.social•602 days ago

At 51, I’m so far left that my 23yo self would have to look left to see today-me. And I was never conservative.

That's theory is a misnomer it is more to do with your wealth index then age

There is a correlation with age cos generally speaking, as you get older you obtain more money

At least that's how it used to be

Millennials are not generally fortunate enough to have this, so less become conservative

annoyance.bsky.social•603 days ago

Never mind the generations younger than us

I'd really like to make enough money to be one of the ones with something to lose if people don't get more conservative.

Like, that'd be the "coolest" problem to have, earning that much money.
