The Boomers fought in world wars?
In utero, maybe.
"Thunderdome except it's billionaires" would solve so many problems.
You could start taxing them. Especially the rich ones.

The problem with the current program is that we did a "half Portugal" where we stopped with enforcement because it was cheaper, and also didn't put in funding for support and treatment because because they (the goverment) thought is was cheaper.
