I guess you're mostly right. Trump was born in 1946 which is the beginning of the baby Boomers.

Yes, genius, people were buying houses at 16% mortgage rates while making $3 an hour. Did you read that on HuffPost?

You ever try to teach a boomer how to do something on an iPhone?
All my friends have iphones. I have an iphone 16 Pro Max. We all seem to have learned how to use them.

I don't understand your point.

Oh, and mongo says I'm supposed to call you a stupid fricking retard.

They were also earning about the same of CD’s. We’ve never really been in a more incongruent interest rate period than now.

We totally fricked up by artificially holding rates down for so long (Trump definitely has a lot of culpability in this) and allowing the wealth disparity to get so out of whack. The easiest way to acquire assets is to have assets and borrow risk free money with them.

Do you suppose people making minimum wage were rolling in interest income from CDs?

I suppose you don’t understand it explains a difference in the financial market and your attempt at a statement didn’t give the full picture of what was actually going on.


I also suppose you aren’t bright enough to understand that

That’s a lot of words when “you’re right, I’m a mental midget” would have sufficed.

Getting back to nurses, Drs., teachers just following orders, are you familiar with Kent State in I believe 70 or 71, where some Army guys killed some Kent State kids? All were Boomer age. Kent State kids were liberals. Army guys were just following orders.

I had friends in the hospital dying. Staff could not give them Ivermectin. Staff would not let family in to see them. All done under orders.

Break it all down and we can add generational blame later. Who ordered it? Who enforced it? How much farther were they willing to go to enforce orders?

Tell us more about the guy making minimum wage and buying a house with a 16% rate but he was really killing it because the $100 CD he had in the bank was making the same. Don’t leave us hanging.

Yeah, talk about trying too hard.

I couldn't decide if this statement was ignorance or stupidity.

I guess that's why he is a stupid fricking retard.

Then their CDs started maturing and rates had dropped dramatically and they were fricked.
