      Wish this would be adjusted for age. Obviously someone who had more time to accumulate wealth will have more wealth. The real question is how much wealth does each generation have at the same age.

      Well this here GenXer wishes he could have some of that wealth. Unless ‘have a mortgage’ constitutes wealth.

        It actually does. The amount paid off at least, since the property is the wealth.

          Considering how little we’re going to get back when we sell it within the next few months before fleeing to the UK, I would say that I don’t think it’s wealth.

              In the sense that the UK isn’t likely to force my queer daughter into a conversion camp in the near future, no.

                  Right, because Labour, (and the Tories and the Lib Dems) are all totally homophobic just like Republicans.

                  What the fuck are you talking about?

                    I’m just saying that I think this particular fear you have is roughly equally likely. Maybe the likelihood of it happening in the US is double or triple than the UK, but I think that would put the likelihood only from 0.01% to 0.03%, so basically the same.

                    Forcing queers (~8% of the population) in re-education camps would incite riots. They won’t do it.
