 I’m not blaming the Millennial cohort. But in a democracy, the majority voting bloc gets to set the agenda. 

This has been true of the Baby Boomers over the past several decades, and it will soon be true of the Millennials, the up and coming largest voting bloc. 

It’s not a judgement call—it’s neither “good” nor “bad”—it’s just an observation. 

As smaller voting blocs, Gen X and Gen Z simply have to go along with this form of Mob Rule. 
 UBI is going to pump my bags so hard. 
 I should mention, in exchange, I will hire and pay people in btc. 
 As generations age, their political views shift conservative. This will happen to millennials, albeit at a later age due to their delayed life events. This delay is countered by the extended life span of boomers. 

I don’t think the outcome is as obvious as anticipated.
