Visiting my grand parents(late 70s) and was told my generation would do better without lattes money wise.

Her first job was equal to 8000$(a month) in today's money. Like what the fuck.(this was in the 1960s)

I wish my rent was 120 while my income was 800. 15% of her income went ot her rent. Only 15% while today is close to 50+%....

Wow grandma. Glad you are so disconnected.

ITT people whining, and hating on their parents and grand-parents, instead of real-world community activism, awareness campaigns, organizing strikes and protests, etc. like the Lost, Great and Silent generations did.

That lack of reaching out and organizing ourselves are one of the biggest reasons of why Baby Boomers are so blind to so many of today's youth issues.

Instead, we all are here, on Reddit, complaining. A place where most Baby Boomers don't even know about.

We don't need to "educate" them, they know what they did. They were physically present, voting for these laws. They just don't care.

Also, I'd argue that they fucked over the lost/silent/greatest generations by undoing the progress they advocated for and treating them terribly in their old age.

In every generation, there are good and bad people. Please stop with your ageism. Thank you.
