1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: So Business Insider says that the baby boomers are essentially

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: clogging up America.

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 2: Shocker, let's get into this. This is fascinating.

4
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: It's kin on the Casey Show. I'm Rob Casey's out today.

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: Ethan's in FORO Casey. It is his birthday by the way.

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: Uh so, happy birthday to Ethan Hatcher.

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 2: Thirty three years young.

8
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: So the official title of this article is baby Boomers

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: have turned into generation can't let Go.

10
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 2: And what they're talking about is.

11
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: How many people, unlike previous generations, are struggling to move

12
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: forward in various aspects of society. Because people from the

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: baby Boomer years, which is described as forty six to

14
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: sixty four. So if you were born between forty six

15
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: and sixty four, so the low end of that would

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: be early sixties, the upper end of that would be

17
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: almost eighty years old now. But they said, so many

18
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: of these these baby boomers have not exited the.

19
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: Workforce or various roles.

20
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: In society that the people are struggling to move up

21
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: until these baby boomers move out, they have been the

22
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: bane of the millennial generation for going on thirty years now.

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: They just refuse to leave.

24
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: And that because that's because they have all their grubby

25
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: little hands over the levers of power, whether it's government,

26
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: whether it's equity, whether it's a private business.

27
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,319
Speaker 2: You're right, they just they won't go away.

28
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: So then the question becomes what do you do about it?

29
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: And part of you.

30
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: Would say, well, they must be doing sort of an

31
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: okay job if people keep whether it's elect because what

32
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: have you had? Now?

33
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: You had.

34
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: Clinton was the first baby boomer president. You had Bush

35
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: after that, who is a baby boomer president.

36
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: Then you had Obama, who was not.

37
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: Then you had Trump, who was Biden who is not

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: in the trumpet, Like, I mean, they're all over that.

39
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: Biden so old he was I think outside of the

40
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: baby boomer.

41
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: I was about to say, it's not because he's too young.

42
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, generation, But yeah, I mean, you've had people that

43
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: keep electing these people to run society. You have corporations

44
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: that keep these people atop the food chain. It has

45
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: to be performance driven in you know, at least, well,

46
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying in the case of running a company, you know,

47
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: those people are there to make money and some.

48
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: Kind of they own the company.

49
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: Well, but I'm saying these you know, these Wall Street

50
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: type you know fortune five hundred places to have baby

51
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: boomers running the show. The biggest issue though in this article,

52
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: which is fascinating to me, is they're talking about how

53
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: baby boomers seem to not be willing to sell their homes.

54
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: Sure that multiple homes okases multiple homes, Yes, And because

55
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: of that, like where you've had previous generations, Hey, I'm

56
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: downsizing and I'm you know, moving to so and so.

57
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: Part of that probably is though that homes are so expensive. Now,

58
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: if you've been in a home for thirty forty years,

59
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: you'd probably be a fool to actually sell it unless

60
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: there's something else you really wanted, because you probably own

61
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: it out right, and what would cost to replace anything

62
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: close to that is going to be more expensive than

63
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: what you probably got. And so I think the economy

64
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: has played as much a role in as the baby

65
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: boomers just being.

66
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 2: Sticks in the mud.

67
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: This is a temporary frustration at best. Rob asked not

68
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: for whom the bell tolls, because eventually it will toll

69
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: for the what Look, the clock is gonna run run

70
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: out eventually, and millennials are going to be the beneficiaries

71
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: of the largest economic transfer of wealth in US history.

72
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: Nobody talks about X. You ever noticed that? Yeah, they're

73
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: the forgotten generation, like it just it skips.

74
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: People always talk about the boomers.

75
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: They were eclipsed by the boomers. I feel sorry for

76
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: Gen X. Yeah, yeah, you're right, because what the low

77
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: is it? Eighty or eighty one?

78
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: So X is basically like sixty five to eighty or

79
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: eighty one, I think is the number.

80
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: What came after Gen X? I thought that was millennial. No,

81
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: that's millennials, That's what I'm saying. So millennials started in

82
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: the nine then. So no, no, no, no, no, no no no no.

83
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: CAV looked that up. The millenia. No, no, no, no, the millennium.

84
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: I am a millennial. I'm a millennial. You're yes, it's

85
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: a wide look that up.

86
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: Mooronnails are nineteen eighty one to nineteen ninety six.

87
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: Thank you. We don't argue with me on my own show.

88
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: What are you doing, Ethan? Come on? Yeah, yeah, right's wrong. Look,

89
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: I thought millennials are nineties.

90
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: So you think about somebody on the low end of

91
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: that is in their mid to upper forties. Now, if

92
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: you're if you're on the low end of X, and

93
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: if you're on the high end of X. You're sixty

94
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: years old, so you're right. The clock is ticking in

95
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: terms of the ability to elevate yourself or move forward.

96
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: And by your analysis, you're right. The biggest beneficiary probably.

97
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: Won't be X. It will be the next generation. You see.

98
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: Like as the dour atheist, I can afford to be grim.

99
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: That's my job here. We're going to keep working on you, Ethan.

100
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm not giving up on you yet
