MMW: There will be a recession in 2026 and Boomers will be most effected

Political

There have been signs of a recession coming for a while now and Trump's policies haven't been helping. Boomers who have mostly been the beneficiaries of American policy I believe are going to be hit the hardest.

Evidence: Asset prices sky rocked after Covid but average people are having a hard time keeping up with inflation. Credit car delinquencies are at their highest since 2012 and other loan types are starting to go under. There needs to be some sort of correction but people just magically getting money is out of the question which means it will be the economy that comes down. Many Boomers retired early believing they could live off their holding but I believe they didn't budget in a correction. Being out of the workforce and elderly will hurt them in the next downturn. I think the wealthy Boomers will be okay but the middle class Boomers will struggle worse than anyone else. There won't be any kind of government bailout for them this time as they lost a lot of their political power since the last recession and they aren't rich enough to affect the government.

Date: By 2027 is when it will be obvious. Look for a stock market crash, poor jobs reports, and reduction in GDP.
