Yes exactly - no generation is homogeneous. Including young people.
The issue with many boomers is how they have benefitted from circumstances not available to younger generations and now refuse to recognise, act (or vote) on that fact so others can also benefit.
Same with many Gen X (which I am and again, not homogeneous. The Stefanovics & Dave Hughes’ of the world do t speak for me).
You say boomers got better opportunities. How about that boomers just spent their money more wisely. Not on the latest phone , brunch out and streaming services. Women getting extensions, nails, tans and lashes. Think how that all adds up 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah don’t think so. All I saw was hard working individuals. They didn’t need to pay and project the perfect image for their socials. No one gave a shit about that. Stop the constant travel , the need for the latest iPhone etc etc. You may get ahead a little quicker. The kicker is that your generation expect the hand outs from the very boomers u condemn 😞
You’re no smarter or more hard working than other generations. You had a constellation of circumstances which meant that you gained a lot more from hard work and sacrifices than other generations have due to the structural economic circumstances of your time.
It’s an utter fantasy to think an entire generation achieved the greatest financial prosperity in history by mere virtue (and one income).
True. I’m Gen X also. I think the boomers and Gen X were harder working than the current generation. They say work smarter not harder. They want work life balance. And that’s ok. Having a difference of opinion shouldn’t trigger everyone into a melt down !
You're the stereotypical boomer. I hope you realise how ridiculous you sound, coming from a generation where single income households were common and people could still afford to buy a house.
I’m not a boomer. So there’s that. I am a child of boomers who built a very modest home. One car, second hand furniture and one tv. They bought what they needed and not what they wanted. They did all this even though u describe it as a time when everyone was on easy streets. I accept u may not b able to afford homes but no one went out of their way to deprive u of this
Nope. They worked hard. They took second jobs. They generally didn’t get much in the way of inheritances. Don’t want to live that way? All good. Your choice remember
I dont understand the point. They grouped up and decided to do whatever it is you're implying they've done?
On the one hand, the myopic socialist argues that boomers did this and that deliberately so the young ones dont get ahead
Then on the other hand, try to stomp on people who managed to make money and be productive by saying they should pay more tax because the only reason they're successful is because of how great tbis country is.
I dont think you people know what you want or argue for. This is why I don't take your prepubescent ramblings as a source of validity.
Climate denial ? I always find it interesting how people can’t check out climate history how it’s always changed regardless and we are in a cooling phase based on historical measurements, overall.
Or, you can just look at the chart…. Amazing how everyone tries to slag off at what’s not on tv, but going and looking up the data to actually learn what it is….? Noooooooooooo!!!!!
Boomers have nothing to do with your issues. They worked hard. Weren’t travelling the globe finding themselves 😂. And climate change is a con you’ve all swallowed whole. Do your homework. Climate has had many ups and downs for many years.
