Have you looked at the difference in a house built in the 80s vs now? Shag carpet, cheap arse countertops, cheap bathrooms to now with everything is granite, expensive flouring, maxed out bathrooms, outdoor kitchens with fireplaces and 3 car garage. My first house in 1981 didn't have a garage. None in our subdivision did.
Absolutely. Countertops in the 80s were Formica which is just wood chips glued together with a top laminate. No ornamental iron light fixtures, no heated floors, no smart home equipment, no video doorbells, no large tile showers, no 1500 dollar dishwashers, hell a garage door opener in the 80s was a luxury item.

While I agree the boomers have had an obvious negative affect on our country, my question is- why does the "greatest generation" get a pass for raising the boomers?
Posted on 7/24/25 at 1:08 pm to GeauxBurrow312
three generations: Generation X (born 1965-1980), Millennials (born 1981-1996), and Generation Z (born 1997-2012).
Grow up. These 3 generations have way more members than the boomers.
Millennials have surpassed Baby Boomers as the nation’s largest living adult generation, according to population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. As of July 1, 2019
Gen X has passed them.
Gen Z now has the largest Adult work force.
Stop blaming everybody for your own lack of action!

What??? You're telling me not having a mortgage payment, and only paying property tax and repairs for 30 years doesn't matter when they're pulling down market rate rents?

It was just horrible.

Don't forget insurance.
Yes. The fact that the property is paid for has no impact on what they can get in rent. It means more money in the owner's pocket, which is not a bad thing. For some reason, you think that because there is no longer a mortgage, the owner should lower their rent.

Its not about blaming boomers for life. It is just acknowledging that if I were born in your generation, I would have about 250k more in my net worth presently with no other changes. Just from not paying as much for my degree or starter house. Given Im the tail end of the millennials, that will add up to millions factoring in compound interest by the time retirement comes around
Your generation still votes for pocketbook over all else. Just look at the Trump approval ratings, panicans about tarrifs temporarily impacting the stock market

Exactly. Why SHOULD they matter?

Yeah I wasn't implying it did. I was addressing the profit for 30 years on a cheap-to-own home, while charging market rent rates. Rent is supply and demand obviously

But there are vast swathes of the younger generations who were born into an economic environment created by older generations, that makes it harder to succeed.
bullshite.
It’s HOW they wanna succeed is the problem. They want to get a bachelors in business administration and make 120 k right out of college. Not happening.
In the 70s and 80s you made no money in Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC, etc. why? They were flooded with workers.
Now? Well… those are in high demand now. And they are making the cash. The people with basic business degrees? Whelp… you join the other several hundred that graduated this year with one from your college, to join the several hundred from every other college, to join the same number that did it the year befit and the year before that. And you are making less than an electricians apprentice.
And guess what… an electricians apprentice isn’t going to be laid off in the years to come due to AI.
The opportunity is out there right now. Right friken now. They currently cannot build homes fast enough even at inflated interest rates. “Bu bu bu I wanna sit at a desk, prepare some spreadsheets, and make 120k!!!”
The jobs are there. They are wide open. And they pay well. But they remain open. Why? Soft asses don’t wanna work outside. They want to blame others from inside with the AC on 73 degrees. And it’s their own technology they embrace that’s causing the shifts.

Nowhere did I say this. They charge what they can get? Obviously?

Probably not. Every job comes with risks though. I'm not going to accidentally electrocute myself sitting at a desk.

Cry me a river. Then get off your arse and do something to make the changes you deem is right.

I am a Trump supporter and a tariff supporter. I'm also a big ole no to never ending wars and It's my generation that put Trump over the top.
This thread, and Tucker is just a BS click driver.

You aren’t going to as an electrician now either unless they are a dumbass.

The government is so damn happy that so many echo the sentiment in here of “it’s their money they should spend it all if they want”
It’s the fricking governments dream and the bug eaters are now chanting it for them
Passing down wealth is one of the best and oldest ways of improving economics of your family and weakening the government power. Without that you will see boatloads more dependent on the government
Should someone “have to” pass wealth onto their kids? Of course not. But the prevailing thought of American families was “to make life better for my children”. The fact that so many here and so many in society have shifted to “they should expect nothing and like it” isn’t good, at all
