    True. There’s this fun quirk of US law, though, that makes ageism against young people completely fine and dandy!

    You can discriminate against people for being young all you want. That’s the Gerontocracy in action…

      And some old people lash out at me for stating the system is unfair. They need to learn to pass the torch.

      Absolutely. Housing crisis in full swing here and yet 55+ communities are somehow still legal. Infuriating that it works to the benefit of the old fucks by earmarking plenty of available units for only them, but when the young people want to get rid of it so they can have a shot at property ownership too, suddenly you’re an ageist.
