Two hard-boiled eggs for the young

Right now, thousands of young people are adding to the list of complaints against parents that we have all had and whoever says they are not lying, having conceived too soon. Let's say that a young man is 17 years old and does the math: in the event that the PSOE wins, that they need Sumar for the same, that they fall for ministries of real numbers, and that the inheritance ends up being approved universal, they would not arrive in time to be included, even if paid at 23. That hurts.

What do the networks say? Well, the first thing that draws attention is that most of those who speak out about it are closer to the other inheritance, that of retirement, than to the 20,000 euros of the wing. Is it because they think they are the ones who will end up paying for them? No, the opinions of 50-year-olds are not admitted as young people. No, neither are 40's.

In other words, either young people don't quite believe it, or they don't move on Twitter as much as we want to think. Or that in the institute, which is where the future supposed beneficiaries are going now, they are on something else. Because the much-vaunted millennials are also late for this, although they seem to know very well the generational currency exchange and are already comparing the 10,500 million or so to cover the thing with the increase in the CPI of pensions.

We have not read it on the networks, but from here we want to call for calm: given that we are one of the countries with the lowest birth rate in the world, the universal inheritance will become cheaper every year, for the simple reason that there will be fewer calls to collect it. You can still think about revaluing it with the CPI, like pensions, which on the contrary will not stop growing.

At this point, Twitter is divided between those who say that we do not have the means to pay the inheritance and those who ask to raise taxes, those who accuse Yolanda Díaz of promoting generations to the bartola and those who continue to insist on meritocracy, All this does not seem to touch the heart of the matter: that there will come a day when the last Spaniard turns 18 and receives, with pasta and suffrage, another suffrage: that of the retirements of the rest.

Amid so much political battle, a sensible tweet appears from time to time: what if more was invested in avoiding what causes young people to enter the adult world from a disadvantaged position? It would be more expensive but more useful than the inheritance and the Interrail and the cultural bonus and the two boiled eggs that all the programs add at the last minute, like Marx, you know which one.
