A lot of the millennials on the OT that bash boomers probably have boomer parents

Always looking for someone else to blame.

Amen.
No matter what, we still live in America goddamn it. What other country has college football and the NFL? What other country can someone become a millionaire selling those spinner things?

The country was ruined when women decided to enter the workforce instead of raising their kids.
Kids raising themselves combined with no church is how you immoral little bastards got here.

I think the government giving single women more money for having more kids didn't really help things.

Baby Boomers weren't old enough to support FDR and his policies. It's their parents' fault.

Blame for what? I’m living and not complaining. Seems like you are looking to blame. How about knuckling down and just get on about living? It’s not that hard. Must suck to go through life complaining and looking for a scapegoat.

Boomers love getting bailed out

Of course it didn’t.
I’m not really trying to be a misogynist. But drive by divorces, absentee parents, and latch key kids greatly eroded the American way of life.

GenX knew this 25 years ago, but nobody listens to us, and we're ok with that.

Duel income = more early retirement $$, more time to spend with grandkids one day, and a bigger inheritance for them all. Sorry you are going to die working and leave nothing for your fam.

Labor is a resource. More labor devalues the cost of labor.
Sorry you don’t understand economics.
Fortunately for me I do and don’t fall into the median of any generation.

Sounds like something an old poor person would say.

Is this country really "ruined"?
I will give you a serious reply. In the 1960s and 70s, jobs moving out of country, hurt the country in many ways.
There were neighborhoods that were built so that workers for certain companies could have a place to live, that was closer to their job. When those jobs went away, those neighborhoods eventually became poverty stricken areas and these areas became targets for drug dealers, etc.. There is more to it that that, but I don't think a certain generation "ruined" the country.

Most single income families in the 50s-60s retired earlier than you and I ever will

Boomers didn't do this when their retirement was endangered by their own recklessness and poor voting habits. They cried crocodile tears and Gen X and Y bailed them out.
