Yes because these same old people contributed significantly to building the country. ALl the schools, roads, houses, buildings for this and that are only here because of them.
Right so that gets you inflation adjusted pensions/social security, unlimited healthcare, even in the healthcare black hole that is America.
But that’s still not enough, you also need preferential rent control for wherever you want to live for the remaining few of boomers who don’t already own the largest swath of real-estate.

I empathize with a universal right to housing, but is that a universal right to a house in East village NY, Marina SF or El Retiro Madrid?
For everybody?
Or only for those who got in, in the 90’s?
How does that seem fair?
These details have to be worked out before you can get the public to commit to one of these and just rioting in response will only get you so far.
