Were due for an economic collapse and the old hold most of the money, add in the the way borders are locking down and distribution networks are jamming up and you have a recipe for a mess.

Thats before you even touch on the young with debilitating but non lethal symptoms. If things get hit the wrong way, we could get critical labor shortages that result in a breakdown of critical distribution(food/medicine). The likely imminent economic collapse only worsens this situation.

US Healthcare would become stupid cheap. Most of the money is wasted keeping boomers alive for a couple more years with a shit quality of life.

Young Americans will finally be able to afford a home. And finally get much needed jobs from boomers who don't want to retire, despite being at retirement age.

Politics will become more progressive yes, but science will progress exponentially. Since we won't have boomers seething every time we "try to play God."

See, here is the problem with disgusting comunists like you (you need to kill yourself at your earliest convinience btw).
That "horaded money" is in the hands of people who put it aside to one day spend it when and if they have some problem (let it be health related or otherwise).
What you call "hoarding" i call responsibility, and morality.
That's also why what you disgusting pieces of shit want to do with the fiat is horrific, but luckly Islam and Bitcoin will crush your skull.

Now, i emphatize with you (i don't think that wanting to live with people who are like you is a bad thing), but ultimately you just want to use the force of the state to control and subdue, like any other comunist, while not understanding that genocides and wars are being waged just cause of governments.
That's why, till people like you understand what freedom is, and respect it, and use work towards a limited government, you are nothing more than a tool to kill comunists with.

1. how the fuck do you put an asset to "immediate use" is there even a glimpse of understanding of how the economy works in your pea sized brain

2. what did you even meant by "assets". i'm gonna assume you meant something like boomer stocks. well if the "younger class" put stocks to immediate use like "real estate" that just means stocks tank and house prices go up. about net 0 effect on the economy.

3. house prices are actually destined to fall. old people bought houses they live in dirt cheap. if they die in masses their houses hit the market.

Welcome to thermodynamics kid. Even the most efficient heat engine (blast furnace - water heater - Carnot heat engine) is only 40% efficient in perfect conditions and thats just heating water.

A car has infinite more complexity than that, with indepedent electrical system, AC, HVAC, drivetrain. I'm amazed its even 10% efficient.

As an engineer I am routinely amazed at just how fucking cheap cars are. A boiler in an apartment complex is like $50k+ and is just a big water tank with a heating element underneath.

Yes, I also had thermodynamics in college, so I'm aware of how much energy is lost, and how is it lost. I mention the low efficiency, not to make a point about combustion-based cars being shit (because yes, major props to auto engineers for getting the effficiency and for making such complex machinery cheap and easy to mass-produce), but because combustion-based engines used today are by nature of the process extremely inefficient.

This is why I really hope the auto industry focus more on electric cars going forwards, and the research needeed to circunvert the battery problem, because you can hit something like 60% efficiency on electric motors and that's a huge leap from our actual engines
