re: If Baby boomers and Gen X ruined this country

I work 110-120 hours a week.

No you don't. You may have worked one ... maybe two ... 110-120 hour weeks before but you don't come near averaging that.

I have no doubt you work hard and longer hours than most but let's not go over exaggerating everything.


One other suggestion...how about we quit pointing the finger at everyone else and start looking in the mirror to see what our own generations can do to fix the problem. And yes, there is a fiscal problem in this country...and it applies to both sides of the political aisle.

That's the baby boomers who fricked it all up. Gen X brought yall arse the best decade ever... the 90s.. You are welcome you ungrateful fricks.

kind of a great story of why things are so bleak to the younger generation. we are completely fricked from all angles

quote:

Boo fricking hoo, buttercup. Life sucks and it's hard. Quit your bitching, stop acting like a whiny limp-wristed pussy, and get your sorry, lazy arse up and deal with it. 

Here is a newsflash. 

1. This world doesn't owe you jack shite. 

2. If you want anything you're going to have to earn it. 

3. If things in your life suck, nobody is going to fix it for you. 

Grow the frick up.

What a stupid statement that does nothing other than show you don't know your arse from a hole in the ground and suffer delusions of grandeur. Pretty much what I'd expect from someone your age.

ignoring anything about effort or attitude, people of ability aged 35-ish and younger are completely fricked by the simple reality of opportunities presented to them

the biggest is the debt and future government liabilities, which they have not had much (if any) power to influence and have received very small benefits from. they will be burdened with an insane amount of debt created by the boomers (and now Gen X) that is going to simply be devastating. medicare, interest, and SS alone have been projected to possibly require 25% of the future GDP. think about that noose

there are other issues, like the lack of economic opportunities in the face of rampant inflation (again, based on policies of the boomers and Gen X that millennials have had no ability to influence). The cost of living has out-paced entry-level work, and promotion opportunities are simply less available because the older generations are working longer (mostly due to their personal debtloads which, again, have created massive inflation).

then there is student loan debt, which is another major issue. the policies of the boomers and Gen X have completely inflated the price of college to an insane degree while re-forming the working world in a way that requires a college degree (and further, often). so the boomers/X created this mythical barrier to entry while enacting policies making that barrier to entry insanely expensive (because they LOVE inflation. it's their BAE)

just imagine these things as taxes that the millenials have to bear that no other generation before them had to bear. would you have a positive outlook on the world if you knew that you were burdened with insane "tax" that you had no voice in creating, have no power to stop, and are told that you're an immoral and selfish person for questioning it?

Hey this gen-x mule will be working till he's 80 come join me in pulling that big ole debt wagon created by the boomers . Hell I should be up to 20 hours of PTO a paycheck by then .

if you want to know what's funny, the anger at "hipsters" for doing jobs "beneath them" b/c those hipsters realize they're fricked regardless and would rather live a life of less materialism and more control over their happiness really has to scare the "old guard". the "old guard" wants them to keep up that materialism train b/c it's required to sustain the house of cards they built

i mean just imagine the hair pulling that will occur if young people keep going to cities, forcing the poor people out to suburbs. THAT would be one funny paradigm shift

Gen X are perfectly fine with skinning liberals and hanging their bodies from trees. Must be the drugs.
