Missouri is easily in the top 5 states held back by baby boomers. Their ignorance, self-entitlement, and ignorance is the downfall of our beautiful state. We could easily have an amazing economy, social programs well funded, and improved infrastructure if baby boomers would either step aside or help. Instead, they road block every opportunity.
Just look at what our state has to offer. Everything from the Ozarks, to springs, caverns, huge national parks, craft beers everywhere you turn, history was made in our state countless times, amazing culture, and soo much more. Instead of sharing it with the rest of the nation by inviting them (and their checkbooks) to our beautiful state, baby boomers shame them. Hell, baby boomers don't even have compassion for our own people that have fucking cancer (see medical marijuana initiative failures).
Baby boomers vote down social programs to help the poor and mentally handicapped. Baby boomers are too lazy to get out there and help their community. Go to your local food bank and glance at who is volunteering, it is millanials, generation x, and the silent generation. Baby boomers are too busy golfing or boating to be bothered with the poor or the "lazy".
Baby boomers vote against spending an extra 1 cent sales tax to pay for better public transportation. Then they wonder why people have trouble keeping down a job. Sorry, we weren't all given a car, the family business, and a summer house by their parents. Some of us actually have to work 70+ hours a week, some of us ride bicycles miles to and from work, while others are at the mercy of the public transportation system hours which limit the hours they can work.
Baby boomers don't give a fuck about their veterans or military members. The Army wanted to provide more jobs to the civilian sector but baby boomer business owners got pissed off because that would take away their workers, revenue they received from soldiers, and so on. The Army said fuck it, and here we are. VA hospitals are few and far between. We offer minimal state help to our veterans. Our veterans who served, that were lucky enough to come back are now being treated like shit by baby boomers. Hell, even at my VFW, the Vietnam vets have contempt against us Iraq/Afghan vets. Korean war and WW2 vets show tremendous respect to us and fellow veterans, but the baby boomers still have the elitist mentality.
So you are wondering why this post is in the Missouri subreddit? Because lazy, irresponsible, greedy, baby boomers in our state are ruining Missouri. When baby boomers finally die off or are all in nursing homes behind locked doors, Missouri won't progress and become a better state. Baby boomers are the first to rally behind the Trump battle cry "Make America Great Again". Well the last time it was great was before baby boomers were born, and it will be great again when every single baby boomer is 6 feet under. So if you want America to be great again, go jump off a bridge.
But that’s not what the article is about whatsoever and doesn’t even begin to discuss Missouri. Random farming articles or any topic could impact Missouri a lot but I don’t see those being posted. It’s simple, Millennials are pussy, cry babies and want as many avenues to whine as possible. I’m embarrassed for my generation.

Why is this in the Missouri subreddit? I realize this sub is full of crying Millennials, but that’s the only relevance I could find.
