Wealthy because they have lived longer. Voting more because they were raised that way and went through the 60s.

Boomers are the definition of good times create soft men. Not all mind you, but many.

Huh? Your total price of ownership was more in line with average wages then than now. Not hard to understand. Basic economics and algebra

The obsession with blaming or praising entire generations is so fricking weird to me. As if being born in a certain time frame determines the quality of human being you are. It’s honestly a retarded notion that only fools ever even consider.

It doesn’t determine it, but I don’t know how you can argue it doesn’t influence it

Boomers are the most selfish and greedy people planet earth has ever seen.


i wouldnt say that. i would say they are a lil clueless how lucky they have been, or maybe, not as appreciative as one would expect.

im in that genx/mil bubble.

i'll take boomers over more current generations. ive never seen a more entitled, lazy, and willing to gripe group of people. Soft as baby shite.

Complain there's no work, but dont want to get their hands dirty.
Complain there's no representation but dont get up and do anything about it or even vote
Can barely look you in the eye and have an honest conversation with you

and still, i think that's a gross over evaluation and certainly not a representation of everyone in younger gens. The worse outliers of every generation is what everyone focuses on.

You are confusing numbers with a time you cannot understand.

No, no you don't. You never will.

You just argue instead of trying to learn.

That's why you are and will remain a stupid fricking retard.

You’ve presented nothing but your own personal feelings while saying you don’t know anything except what happened to your kids

My only contention with your post is I would change the bolded to “they refuse to understand”


Two morons downvoted this.

Wanted to point that out.

It is 100% refuse to understand. End of story.

It mostly influences how you view other generations. It’s why there are so many threads about generations on this site. Hence complaining about boomers. Millineals complaining about boomers. Boomers complaining about GenZ.

The only common thread I see is a bunch of people whining about other people.

In the most basic example, you don’t think every gen Z person being on instagram influences other gen Z’ers to have instagram accounts? Of course it doesn’t determine, that’s where their culture is being generated


Note, I’m not opining on that being good or bad, just that it’s definitely happening

Stolen by people long ago.

So now you know, you aren’t getting your money back. You are solely reliant on those working today for those checks coming in. Be more thankful. Tell a younger person how grateful you are.

But some of these dingle bears think that old John, living down Walker south rd. in a $3k trailer shipped jobs overseas, because he is a boomer. What an odd thought. "I will start a thread to announce to the world that I am a fricking idiot."


He votes for it though.

Just like belittling and demeaning people because their personal political views don't exactly align with yours (not necessarily you).
