GOOD NEWS: YOUR PARENTS ARE GONNA DIE! MAYBE EVEN BEFORE 2030!

Also, that $72 trillion will go to ~72 million millennials completely evenly--about $1M per millennial across the board. We won't have issues where having rich parents meant you did well yourself, and the proportionately more money you inherit will be extra rather than catchup. Nope, boomer hoarding will all work itself out in the end. We don't need any government policies to change.

Maybe before the whole planet is obliterated?
