The stock market is the issue, for many reasons. First, it forfeits control of their money to companies like (((Blackrock))). Second, it gives power to companies like (((Blackrock))) to manipulate the economy against boomers, and their posterity. Third, it is gambling. Or worse, a Ponzi scheme. So long as stock prices reflect how traders feel about a company and not the assets and profit, it is speculation. Fourth, and most importantly, it prevents parents from investing in the next generations, which is critical for a stable society.

Could you elaborate on your fourth point?

My experience has shown me that the people who don't participate in stocks end up becoming old and destitute. Whereas the people who do, end up being able to live off of them and enjoy retirement.

I'm merely observing the outcomes and using that to determine the appropriate input.

Am I overlooking something?

And what's the proposed alternative?

What you are observing is the difference between responsible people and irresponsible people. The difference really comes down to the last few years of life. Like u/Brannvesen said, instead of going to a retirement home, their children take care of them. However, having grandparent around to help with the raising of second generations is invaluable.
