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

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.
Trump born in 46 would be a first year Boomer yes. Biden born in 42 is NOT a Boomer. The other three are true Boomers.

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.
I could have said the bold part for every decade in human history.
Now, your later part is the only thing I've seen posted in this thread that is actually constructive. People probably wouldn't stigmatize younger people if they took that approach. Instead they choose the Bolshevik route where spoiled children complain about how hard they have it while they are living in a society of indulgence.
There is no fixing these problems. There are trade-offs though. We as a country have decided to support stability and low unemployment and most of the issues pointed out in this thread are the trade-off. Reversing those policies is impossible but in theory would be the opposite. You would have high volatility in unemployment and income which would create other issues that people would melt about.
Why not just accept the system as is and adapt instead of complain and point fingers?

Can we get a moratorium on the generation bashing, at least for the time being?
This site, when it's running clean, is a pretty good aggregator of information and discussion. I've seen links to many good sources, better than trying to just google for myself (and far better than relying on mainstream media).
Last night this board was cluttered up with lots of garbage threads.
Go bitch on the OT, or maybe we can get a troll-free board set up for actual news.

What is the ideal median price of a home in 2021
$358,000, the average home being 2,261 sqft or $158.34/sqft
In 1960, it was $11,900 for the average home, 1200 sqft, or $9.92/sqft
Let's assume $1 in 1960 is worth $9.50 today (that's from the inflation calculator on Google).
If housing were only increasing at the rate of inflation, that would make that 1200 sqft house cost $98.70/sqft, but the reality is $158.34/sqft. That means that housing, even the little 1200 sqft houses, are on average, increasing in price 1.6 times the rate of inflation.
In 1960, the average wage was $5,600/year
In 2022, the average wage is $53,490 per year
Using the same inflation metric, the real wage for someone in 1960, in today's money, would be $53,200. Thus, while housing per square foot has increased at 1.6 times the rate of inflation, wages are up by just half a percent.
That's just housing. Healthcare, education, and childcare are all up significantly more than that. Childcare is a really big deal since the healthcare costs, education debt, and housing costs increases essentially mandates dual incomes to survive, which causes one to have to take on these ridiculous childcare costs as well.

I'm implying you have no clue how to legitimately draw that conclusion. You bob and weave, project, and never get around to actually explaining much of what you argue.

You aren't making any sense. Perhaps you are just out of your depth here.
Yeah. You've got me really confused.
Hey, explain something - how is it the super-educated group that's also twice the size, with twice the voting power ... how is it that they're forever victims of the smaller dumb group? And we're talking about 40 & 50 year olds in the group of victims.
You'd be wrong and whiny still, but if you were 20 year olds bitching about mom and dad, I'd at least understand why you have the feelings you do. But you guys are in your 30's, 40's and 50's, and you're clinging to victimhood like its all you have.

Because Boomer Men were adults when they turned 18. They went to work/college, married, bought a small home, raised families. If they attended college they pursued a degree in engineering, science, medicine etc that would lead to a high paying career.
My father did this. Went to medical school, became a sub-specialist after medical school and started earning $450,000+ a year in the 1980’s. By the end of his career, he was making less than half that salary in the same field, location, and hours.

Moronials turn 18 and they are still children. They make stupid decisions like running up 100k or more in college debt for a useless liberal arts degree. They stay on their mean old Boomer Mommy & Daddys health insurance until they are 25. They graduate with their useless liberal arts degree and get a job at Starbucks and demand that the Boomers pay off their student loans. They delay a career so they can live at home and spend all of their time and money traveling and "living their best lives".
I followed the same path as my father, went to medical school, and also became a sub-specialist. I earn less than half what his starting salary was and it has been almost forty years since he finished training.
So what happened? Did my father turn into a lazy millennial like me?

Like I said, you can't make sense of your own arguments.
And I'm not the one here bitching about my life. I actually feel sorry for you. I would have hated myself if I believed the shite you do at your age.

You keep using average wages like it's meaningful in your analysis. Who makes less than $53K/annually? Where do they live? What are their savings rates? Do they have the ability to increase their earnings power? Can they move? Why does the aggregated housing market think your analysis is FOS? Is it because "average prices" group in high end luxury housing with price insensitive borrowers?
I'm not saying housing isn't expensive in urban cities with good economies, FYI. I just think your angle is absurdly lazy. You haven't even mentioned supply or population growth as an example.
You're basically just saying life should be easy regardless of your decision making and there shouldn't be any risk invloved while we all enjoy lives of luxury. The utopian vision of society millenials have is a grand delusion created by their own comfort and luxury.

To be clear, you're saying your dad started at over $1 million salary (that's $450K in 1985 today) and you're now making $225K - what's your specialty?

No, I’m showing you that price per square foot of housing is up significantly while wages are flat.
If you factor in that price per square foot goes up as the overall square footage of the home goes down, then the increases in price or actually far more significant for those in urban environments and those were renting.

They grew up watching politicians, teachers, celebrities, etc blaming everyone else and accepting no accountability.

When a boomer graduated high school, they had the opportunities to support their family with a single earner without a degree. That is simply not possible today almost anywhere. Hell it's almost too expensive to rent in most places with a single salary.
Damn, somebody tell my son this!! Silly boy thinks he's supporting his family on one income while my daughter in law stays home and does a fantastic job with their kids. They're struggling and don't even know it! Of course they don't rent... They own their house... Guess he should be whining more.

Just deciding how to deal with your refusals. I will exercise more this weekend than you likely will in a month
get ready to comply with our wishes - Boomers, the most powerful generation in US history, nay WORLD history
will be deciding how you are to follow our rule and submit to accepting your lot in life

You are using averages over a 60-70 year period for both variables 
Let's just put it this way. You are choosing to ignore about a million other variables that comes with higher housing, healthcare and food costs that everybody benefits from.

Not to mention boomers were about 10 years old in 1960.
