Oh wait, those statements are equivalent.

Columbus, OH resident here. Running through the university area this weekend was a nightmare. Students aren't even fully back yet but saw at least 15-20 parties with 20+ people, no masks, no distancing. I feel as though it will get very bad, very soon.
That has been going on all summer.

Are you serious? In China they welded apartments shut with occupants inside. They tore mothers from their kids and took them away. You'd prefer we did this?
I guess I'm a pansy for preferring not to live in Communist China.
Erm, ever heard of the Mexican border?

It is time for the young people of the world to stop letting the boomers crap on their futures.
Whose financial future has been sacrificed? Maybe those people should take more responsibility for their personal finance. If you had invested in an index fund five months ago, you would have made a lot a money by now.

it's amazing that the US is such a bad country and yet a wall is needed to slow the flow of illegal immigrants!

Another Keynesian who doesn't understand economics. You're right the national debt is the youngster's fault, they're irresponsibility led to it. The Ponzi scheme of social security which they will pay into until it collapses in the next 50 years is also their fault.
BTW the most responsible amongst us have had our finances severely endangered by this. The stock market is solely being propped up by the FED's massive money printing spree. With productivity way down it is going to crash in the next year. The other issue is the printing spree has severely devalued our currency. If you're a saver you're getting screwed. There will be massive inflation coming due to our money printing spree of the past decade. We're about to find out those trade deficits aren't so harmless when you finance it by lessening your currencies' value. Everyone is sitting happily now because their 401K looks good today, its not going to last.

We have heard of this warning many times, but there has been no real inflation for four decades. So you are the one who does not seem to understand economics.

ah yes, the debt ridden college students and recent grads of the world are very foolish for not investing the disposable income they don’t have in an index fund

The mass printing of money is an issue that has accelerated in the past 12 years far beyond anything seen in the previous 27 years when Nixon unhinged the dollar. We have been heading for this moment for a decade but the rest of the world is just hasn't reacted drastically yet, plus some of the world is doing similar actions to finance their deficits. The money printing spree during COVID is way beyond anything we've ever seen. The money printing and debt that occurred under Carter to Clinton was nothing compared to the massive acceleration under the last 3 regimes. There are many economies throughout history that have followed a similar trend and they all came crashing down. It would be naive to think the American dollar is the one asset that just be run off the printing press without being devalued.
Jesus fvcking Christ you're annoying and every post loaded with idiocy. Nation state economies do NOT work like your household budget. Please shut up and go away.

Debt ridden? You should have worked harder to earn scholarship so that you could graduate debt free. Too bad you didn't take enough responsibility for your school work.

Ahh, college student loans. Yet another socialistic failure the Dems don't want to take credit for. Before they created student loans you could actually work your way through college. As soon as federal aid started pretty soon the lobbies got smart and took advantage of the system. College costs soon got out of control as policies got worse and worse. Now a college degree is a requirement just to play the game of life before people on got useful degrees or did vocational schools to learn actual schools. Now half the degrees are worthless without masters. Before the government got involved the college system was far more effective and efficient.
We all have personal responsibility. But I was an idiot at 18 and so was everyone else. $150K of debt but hey you'll be making triple figures a year out of school and be in the black for life in no time, I'm IN! No lender would ever give a teenager tens of thousands to pursue a liberal arts degree with no collateral. The only way that happens is if Uncle Sam makes it possible. And since Uncles Sam is spending someone else's money who cares if they're getting a good deal.
Oh, Those goody two shoes Dems, what a wonderful system they've created out of their endless compassion. If you aren't lucky enough to be in that tiny fraction of the population who gets a full scholarship or is born into means all you have to do to get in the game of life is straddle yourself with $150K of loans.

Yeah, you were an idiot. But don't drag "everyone else" with you.
Here is a very novel concept for you. Take responsibility for your own decisions.
Do you think those fat boomers are responsible for their poor health? Or are they victims like yourself?

I was painting with a broad brush and not discussing whether that is or isn't my personal situation.
But to answer your question I don't think fat boomers deserve to die but they are responsible for this situation. And they have a much higher level of responsibility for their situation that a teenager. Both have some personal responsibility but you have much less life experience to fall back on at 18 and to expect the same level of judgment out of some under 20 to someone in their 60s or 70s is absolutely not fair. Student Loans are designed to be predatory and prey on people at a point in their life when they are easy to manipulate. The only people who weren't at some point misled in their teens or duped by a teacher with their own agenda are liars. You can argue the food industry is manipulative which is true. But if you're 60 and can't figure out what does and doesn't constitute healthy living that is on you.

If you are old enough to drive a car and vote in an election, you are old enough to take responsibility for your own action. PERIOD.
Just because you were immature and clueless at 18, that does not mean other 18 years old cannot behave more responsibly. Stop blaming "others" including the government.
Here is the IDIOCY that has taken hold in our country. I remember the good old days when you had to be sick to go to the doctor.

Let me entertain you and assume none of the students will suffer any sort of health consequence related to COVID. What about the faculty? The janitorial staff? What's going to happen in all the supermarkets that will now be packed with kids stocking up their college rentals? Even if the 18-24 age group is completely asymptomatic (not "asymptotic" like you wrote) the entire city is about to take it up the butthole.
