Wow this is really how you think?
There was plenty in my life that I had to overcome. I worked my arse off to get what I got.
Luck had NOTHING to do with it.
Instead of criticizing the older generation maybe you should listen to them. They have been there before.

Not a boomer. Try again.
Are you listening to yourselves.
The whining. The crying.
You sound jealous of what the older generation has accomplished.
Sad indeed.

Bruh, I am the only motherfricker in this thread to acknowledge that I am lucky and have had help to get to where I am. 
Your lack of self awareness is world class.
I am jealous of no-one and want for nothing.
ETA: You just cannot engage with material presented to you. You immediately soy out.

Ok.
I worked my arse off and I’m lucky.

The average baby boomer has a little over 200k saved for retirement, in their old age they’ll depend on the generosity of the American taxpayer and/or their relatives to keep from eating cat food and going without medical care.
Good for those that are self sufficient, but the majority are not.

Dick-riding the boomers.
Despite all my posts on here pointing out the inherently flawed mindset and view that boomers have of themselves (a generation which includes nearly every fricked in the head politician in DC right now, from Biden to Obama to Bush to Schumer to Clinton), I’ll be perfectly fine, despite how much they have attempted to stack the deck against the younger generations.
They need to be called out on their over-inflated egos and their absolutely abysmal financial and political impacts on all of us.

You may be right about this.
But didn’t we just dole out a few trillion in Covid bucks to youngins? I damn sure didn’t get any of that. Y’all going to give it back?

I’m 49, feel honored to be called young. I’m fairly certain older Americans below certain income level also got covid dollars. And it’s not a question that I’m right. There is no giant pile of money from which to pay SS or Medicare expenses as the years roll on..it’ll be from the hands of those working to the mouths of those retired or it won’t be at all. People of all ages, on average, don’t have enough money to take care of themselves when they can no longer work or get sick.

Since you won't read it.

Although such an unequal distribution may seem unfair, it might be justifiable if it turned out that the most successful people were indeed the most talented/competent. So what did the simulation find? On the one hand, talent wasn't irrelevant to success. In general, those with greater talent had a higher probability of increasing their success by exploiting the possibilities offered by luck. Also, the most successful agents were mostly at least average in talent. So talent mattered.
However, talent was definitely not sufficient because the most talented individuals were rarely the most successful. In general, mediocre-but-lucky people were much more successful than more-talented-but-unlucky individuals. The most successful agents tended to be those who were only slightly above average in talent but with a lot of luck in their lives.

What's the famous saying? Luck is when preparation meets opportunity?
The opportunity is the part you just keep denying. Those same opportunities ain't there and y'all just can't comprehend it.
It doesn't demean your accomplishments. It's ok to admit it.
