That Generation, the generation that gave us the Hippies, also gave us Yuppies, the 80's-90's work ethic, neoentrepreneurialism, PC's, a functional internet, internet bowsers/search engines, ETFs/online investing, and companies like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, Dell, Nike, Starbucks, Home Depot, DreamWorks, Netflix, Salesforce, etc., etc., etc.

it's millennials by the way the first wave of millennials is 44 years old they'll be blaming everyone for their lack of success into their 80's they're the participation trophy generation! it would be sad if it wasn't so funny!

I see you think like a woman and can't separate your emotions from a discussion if you don't agree with what you're being told.

There's nothing emotional or histrionic about letting you know the idea that boomers are uniquely awful and have done all sorts of other bad things to you/young people is retarded. That you perceive emotion behind any of that says more about how you read than how I post.

Histrionics and outrage are not really something I can relate to.

lmao - I think you're the one providing the outrage and histrionics in this thread. I have not posted anything nearly as histrionic as your words here -

They were the most degenerate generation since weimar germany.

I'm not saying there was some grand conspiracy here. There was a shitload of good that came from that generation, but they were greedy, hedonistic, and worthless much too often..

I just don't have a problem calling out reality when I see it.

Which is no different than what I'm doing.

You believe boomers are boogeymen and have screwed young people over somehow. I think that's a ridiculous belief. You can't make a logical argument based in reality supporting your belief.

My argument is actually pretty simple and I think based in reality. Here goes - life gets better and easier with time in the US. That's true for my generation, and it's true for yours and everyone else's.

The generational envy thing is a political construct brought to us by the Left. It's not economic, and certainly nothing based in reality.

Says the guy that argued boomers took us off the gold standard in order to inflate their assets.

I lost it because I know three different boomer age retirees who laugh about spending their nest egg on 5 vacations a year and not passing down anything.

They made it and therefore are entitled to spend it any way they damn well please including not leaving you anything. Try doing what they did - work

Should you get the money you paid into SS + interest back?

'm surprised this^^^ hasn't happened yet. Same thing with lifting the payroll cap on Social Security. Those two things alone would help to shore up social security.

SS is uniquely tied to US debt instruments.
Meaning every 1¢ collected generates an IOU ... a US public debt. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions, shall not be questioned

To some limited extent the amount owed to individuals based upon their contributions within SS might allow for some variance in repayment. But moving too far afoot from the contribution-promissory equation, or completely uncoupling it as you describe, would trigger withering 14th Amendment arguments.

The majority of Gen X kids don't have Boomer parents - the Boomers raised Millennials.

---

I've got both. Three Millennial daughters and then along came my Gen Z Son. Oh, errrr, wait. You typed "Gen X." Yeah ... I didn't father any of that generation that I know of.

Millennials are bad enough, not all of them but most of them.

Zoomers have great potential imho.

I'm short of being a boomer but I guess about 5 years. But in their defense. They arent the ones who put Dylan on prescription drugs. They arent the ones who taught Dylan that he was special. They arent the ones who prevented Dylan from experience loss in sports when he was 7 years old and basically defended Dylan from ever having to feel discomfort as much as possible. They arent the ones who stunted Dylan's growth and ability to navigate difficulties within Society. So if Dylan is fricked up he probably needs to have a discussion with his Gen X parents or even Millennial parents

---

But they raised the people who did all those things. Maybe they should have been better parents to their own kids,,

It’s their money and they should spend it how they want. I’d much rather my parents have a blast and travel the world than leave me a penny.

What about the assets your grandparents left your parents?
