re: Why are Moronials such whiny losers that blame all of their failures on Boomers?

But still don't understand that 135 million millenial/GenX voters elected the boomers you're bitching about.
Because the boomers are the only ones who can afford to run. Because the boomers have decided that raising and spending millions to run for a Congressional seat is a good idea.

Boomers have had the majority of seats in Congress since 1998. You’ve also produced Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden. So yes boomers are literally responsible for all of that.
I was there and they clearly did not follow what we decided in Calcutta

Moronials don't want to do any kind of hard labor.
There are plenty of skilled trades where you can make six figures, but those jobs are beneath you.
Do you think that the generations before you all loved working the hard labor jobs that payed well?
Of course not, but they did what they had to do to earn a decent living.
I find this ^^^ attitude to be pretty common amongst people under age 45…..most of these youngsters believe if you’re working in a skill or trade that requires some level of physical activity that you should be making less money than their dime a dozen IT job, or HR diversity gig, or leisure management position…lol!
A good plumber, electrician, carpenter, HVAC tech, etc. is more vital to the economy than 90% of the degrees handed out every semester by our universities.

Cool so we're back to ignoring the wage stagnation. This is why I said earlier I didn't want to engage. You're incapable of seeing you're simply wrong. The numbers don't lie.

JFC - I did not know this victim BS was so rampant in your generation. I raised kids, and not a single one of them, nor their friends are whiners that would rather cling to victimhood than accept that they're responsible/accountable for their own life.
Do you seriously feel this powerless? You genuinely feel that as 30, 40 and 50 year olds, you cannot escape the evil/selfish grasp of the all-powerful boomers?

Housing is outpacing inflation by over 120%
Education is outpacing inflation by more than 400%
Both of these costs are essentially pre-requisites for getting a career job that will support a family.
The number of hours of labor required to afford the same basics are significantly higher than in the past.

You can't just decide one day to stop applying for programmer jobs and become a plumber or carpenter. It takes almost as long as a college degree to get through low paid apprenticeships and VO-TECH courses to get certified and start making any real money. While going the trades route is cheaper than the 4 year college route, it's not faster. That makes it incredibly difficult to pivot to manual labor if that wasn't your direction to begin with.
In addition, the people doing the hiring for tradesmen look down on people with college degrees. They do not trust them. Folks with college degrees rarely get a call back unless the trades are crazy desperate. They will take an illegal who cannot speak English over a green college boy 100 times out of 100. I know because I used to work construction while I was in college.

What is the ideal median price of a home in 2021? And why are you smarter than the market to derive this value?

Do you seriously need me to repost every argument I've made in every post? Are you incapable of following a discussion?
I've asked any one of you to explain something, but nobody has bothered to try - so I'll ask again.
Do you seriously believe with that the remarkable advances in engineering, computing, materials, medicine, food production, etc., etc. have actually made your life more difficult?
There has never been a better/easier time to be alive than today. For everybody.

No one is "better" than anyone else. Everyone are people who are just trying to survive and provide for their families. Those between the ages of 20 and 40 are struggling with the economic situation in our country right now. You can make fun of them, or you can try to help organize politically to fix it.

It's not feeling powerless.
It's having to delay things to pay off all this debt caused by increased prices caused by stupid boomer decisions that effect everyone.
Trust me... I wish boomer decisions only impacted boomers.

Why would they fix it? Not only did they cause it, they benefit from it.

You keep responding with comments like this. Do you think this is relevant? Are you implying this doesn't mean education, housing, and healthcare costs have outpaces wages?
You aren't making any sense. Perhaps you are just out of your depth here.
