It's easier to blame your elders than ask why government and globalism had these effects.
Also, by blaming "boomers" they signal their intent to beg government and globalism to save them.

To fault an entire generation for the sins of government and globalism is overly simplistic and hyper-emotional.

Back in the day you’d do your 8 hours with your friends at the fun factory job that had a pension and then you’d go get drunk at the bowling alley and then you’d hop in your $2000 chevelle or whatever and drive home to your $12000 house and your wife that didn’t have to work. This was the American dream George Washington intended
What we have now? Way worse.

Bringing in 8-12 million illegals, giving them government benefits, and putting them into homes tends to push the housing market upward with demand.
Bad for these younger ones.
Donald Trump immediately starts to kick them out of the country, which will help the housing situation, and these younger "anti-fascist" hunters protest to keep those illegals here.
Hard to feel bad for people who can't see Trump is actually trying to help them.

I'm confused, I thought the maximum amount allowed under student loans was way under 250k, how did she get so much paid back?

I am not trying to pry or accusing you of anything, its just that my kids are off to college soon and trying to figure all these loans out - itis complicated!

Most young men think Trump isn’t far right enough

A lot of the problem is from things they didn’t accomplish
The boomers parents fought for things.
These people got out and protested when the government interfered with their schools so much that the national guard had to be called in

PLEASE!
Do you travel overseas, Gaucho?
Have you compared, firsthand, US lifestyles with lifestyles elsewhere?

first off national debt has nothing to do with your life it may some day that remains to be seen. so far it's had no effect.
i bought my first house in 1990 i was 29 we payed 92k for it in a great neighborhood, it had sat on the market for over a year, needed a lot work we sold it two years later of 140k 1600 square feet one a half baths
adjusted for inflation my house would have cost about 225k in 2023 when my son bought his first house for 270k 1600 square feet 2 true baths but the kicker his house was already done before they bought it was completely renovated has a cool wet bar in the den with one of those wine refrigerators built into it.
houses don't cost 6.8 times your annual income in little rock they cost 2.5 times your annual income. we've got a brand new subdivision being built near the costco 2100 square feet 3/2's starting at 315k.
he wanted an older home in an established neighbor which is what my wife and always had.
you really didn't answer my question i asked you what things personally don't you have that you thought you would have by now not generationally this notion of if everybody doesn't do good nobody does good that's not how america really works

You should join their team. They will get back at everyone you want to get back at. That's their thing.

Your reference is to Vietnam?
Seriously?
Do you have any concept as to the life disruption associated with the draft of young men during wartime? I'll answer for you. Like me, you can guess. You can imagine. But in the end you have NO clue. The difference between you and me is, you don't seem to realize it.

You had to work a long time for the same company to get one of those pensions. Couldn't be a job hopper.

Right. We live in an era where our starving are obese and our poor live like the middle class used to. But yeah, it's way worse because someone on X told you so.

I said it was the boomers parents in the original comment
I feel like the boomers could’ve stopped the destruction of the church though. That’s all happened in the last 30 years
