The difference between you and I,

Well, then, it couldn’t have happened to a better generation.

Y’all are really delusional. It’s like you need a 12 step program to get you out of victimhood.

Guess they were just millennials ahead of their time.

The point is that is was easier in general economically, not that every single person had it just as good.

After accounting for the present crisis, the average millennial has experienced slower economic growth since entering the workforce than any other generation in U.S. history.


Their “revenge” will be killing Social Security, which Boomers and to a large extent Gen X will need In old age to survive. Not your average OT baller, but your average “real” person in those generations.

some people are able to look at the bigger picture, beyond their own situation... and a lot of people, like you, cannot for whatever reason.

They have ignored every graph or statistic posted in this thread proving their views wrong.



Like someone else posted, it took millennials 40 years to obtain what the boomers already had in their 20s.

A bunch of victims who don't know how to escape their own problems aren't "looking beyond their situation."

I haven’t “imagined” anything.

I posted graphs and statistics one after another.

It's their programming. There's no great sin in admitting you were fortunate to grow up in the time period you did.

I remember growing up in the 80's and 90's and it was peak American for being a kid. Just endless fun shite and entertainment as far as the eye can see. It sucks for kids today that they don't get to have the same things I did. Yeah, they have Switches and cool shite, but they don't get to go to Six Flags and have it not be a cesspool or Disney and enjoy it without being swarmed by thousands of people and gouged at every corner. I got to grow up in the lap of luxury and my parents just scraped by in reality.

These days that would never happen.

Yea but you’re 5’6” with a little dick. Your employer knows you need that extra scratch to get laid. I respect the empathy your employer has for you.

Owning a home is loaded these days. Just goes to show how out of touch you are.

Did you miss the other part I posted? And I’m not your Son, probably older than you. The average boomer hasn’t saved shite, hasn’t held a great job, didn’t do but the bare minimum. Just like the average Millennial. They’ll need daddy govt to rob the people coming behind them, to keep them from going broke paying for pills and medical bills.
