Boomers need to kick the bucket


Not sure I’m a Boomer. Was born in 1966. I will say that I seldom pass a Starbucks that isn’t busy.

I doubt all those folks buying $10 cups of coffee are Boomers.

I’m guessing you voted for the Bush dynasty then. Thanks bro. China was in shambles in 84. Now look at them. Great job bro.

We’re about 2 years into monetary tightening.

I didn't.

The Bush dynasty was the thing that caused me to look hard at other political ideologies. Actually Reagans war on Japanese auto imports was the first hitch in the wagon.

The administration wanted limits on vehicle import numbers (US auto makers and their unions) which caused the Japanese to create luxury brands with a lot more value built in, that have haunted auto workers for decades now.

Some of us notice shite.

Gas heading back down 2.95 a gallon


Reg unleaded has been $3.98 on my drive from Montana. $4.59 diesel. I joined every loyalty program to save a whopping 10cents plus my Costco and Sam’s credit cards give 4-5% at most gas stations. Yay.

corporate profits


What’s worse is government income is at an all time high and government theft and confiscation of wealth are at all time highs.

Corporate profits are a direct result of the fake money the government continues to print and send out. That money goes to evil businesses typically selling goods and services to the citizens being hosed by their government.

I saw some spots in Houma, Louisiana, for 2.95. Must be time to liquidate the summer blend for the winter blend in a few months or no hurricanes to squeeze production and drive up prices.

Youre in my area. I was born a couple years before.

I find it funny that millennials need Boomers to die in order to be successful.

Thats kind of embarrassing.

Gen X is running the biz world now, just can’t seem to dislodge late 70s-80s boomers from fed power.

You are so full of shite it is clouding your brain. If you don't like your job...leave.
If you think you are worth more find a better job.
Show some initiative instead of blaming OTHERS on YOUR inadequacies.
Son of a bitch...you have a cuck chair in the bedroom don't you?

Back in the day, it used to be that you worked hard, save as much you possibly could, and your wealth would build. That’s not the case anymore, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a delusional idiot

Old man yells at cloud. Careful old timer, you might break your hip. I know those eyes don’t work so well, so I’ll give you a pass. Your brain too, early onset dementia?

No it’s because everything was cheaper. Average home price is 30x higher than back then, but wages are only 5x higher.
