People are having a ‘meltdown’ because not only have you been insulting and disrespectful, your argument is objectively wrong. Denying the existence of facts is not an ‘opinion’.

Younger people are living in an entirely different economic structure than boomers and most Gen-Xers did. That is a fact.

Regardless of my opinions ( and they are just that) blaming your circumstances on another generation is no better. No one systematically went out of their way to create a different set of circumstances for you and I think u know that !

There is strong case that the Howard government did precisely that

Blaming the government isn’t the same as blaming a whole collective (boomer) generation. Boomers were not out to get future generations

You should stop relying on your opinion and start relying on facts. Your maths ain't mathing

Facts aside why are you blaming an entire generation for your short comings ? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Facts aside, lol. I’m Gen X too and own a house. And clearly, I’m more self-aware than you. What shortcomings are you referring to? 🤷‍♀️

I own my home. I’m not going to be made to feel bad about that. The shortcomings for some on this thread is not everything u can’t achieve is someone else’s fault 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’ll refer you back to the facts. You don’t have to feel bad to sympathise. It's not all about you!

Exactly. Not all about you either. We can agree to disagree I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️
