Well, on the bright side, the housing market will collapse in the next few decades as boomers die off/move to retirement homes, leaving a massive glut of housing (unless it all gets bought up by corporations). That'll cause its own set of issues, but ample housing would certainly go a long way.

This will happen though. Unless we get to "adventure time" somehow before the boomers die which seems unlikely. We're gonna have to get waay hungrier

Yeah so aside from housing being bought up by corporations, privatized health care will bleed that generation of the rest. There will be nothing left.
