re: “They’re Repulsive” - Tucker’s Rant on How Baby Boomers Betrayed Gen Z.

Disagree. Plenty of millennials with boomer parents are doped up on prescription drugs.

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.

Eh, they gave rise to Gen X. Boomers grew up in a comfortable economy because they were so stable. Millennials were the first ones to exhibit signs of this and many if not most of them came from boomers.

I should add that the Boomers aren't the ones who ingrained into Dylan that he was naturally bad just because he was a boy.

---

Literally no one is saying someone is bad because he was a boy. Not even the woke lunatics.

Too many boomers make a point of making it as difficult as possible for their kids with "tough love" on not helping them out, ignoring the fact that everything is way more expensive and the prices of things (housing, education) have increased far more than the wages have.

When boomers were in their 20s, a college degree carried a lot more weight than it does now, and it's almost impossible to afford the average education without student loans.

My boomer uncle was working a shite job that didn't pay much more than minimum wage and owned a house at 22. Try doing that shite now.

I'm not going to blame boomers for everything because millennials hold some accountability too, but the arrogant boomers who act like things haven't changed and put it all on millennials and gen z's should count their blessings and shut their mouths.

Social media.

It used to be that people may have tried to keep up appearances within their immediate social circle. Now they see some stranger 1000 miles away and want to have the same lifestyle.

Lol. What? Comfortable? Do any of you folks know of history pre 9/11?

The Vietnam draft?
The Cold War?
Cuban missle crisis?
Stagflation being rampant in the 70s?
The gas crisis due to the oil embargo of the 70’s?
Prices that rose due to oil embargo and Vietnam conflict?
Mortgage rates in the 70’s of 11 or so percent and 16 percent for a 30 year in the early 80s?

Where do you folks actually get your information?

Oh yeah? And what were the prices? People love pointing this out and then neglect to mention a house was like 60 grand

You are correct. Not too long out of college I opted to buy a house....pops recommended I wait for my favorable interest rates....but I knew better.
Just about did me in financially...thanks Jimmy.
But I made it through.

My parents are awesome. All they do is live to help their 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.

If by "help their kids" you mean financially, then you and your siblings should give the money back to them.

You're lucky to have boomer parents like that, most of us do not.

You can't take it with you when you're dead bud....

Let's say you had $10k left to do whatever you wanted right before you die.

Option 1. Cruise, train tour of Europe, whatever, die knowing you helped a few shareholders

Option 2. Pass it along and die knowing you helped your family

Those are the options people are deciding between and the video is making fun of those choosing option 1.

Means test SS. Boom, problem solved. Are you wanting to exclude 21 year olds from doing the same things we had to do?

frick that shite. I’m not going to pay in the max times 2 for 30 plus years and not get anything in return.

Baby boomers are the ones that started the very selfish trend of filing for divorce when they have young kids. Sacrificing their family for their own happiness is the epitome of selfishness and it bleeds over into everything else they do.
