Oof.

Let me guess. This L doesn't count.
That was a lot of forum code to admit you are a soft twat.

Happy Holidays.

You Chumps have earned 100% of the grief sent your way on this forum. :lol:
At this point it would easier to figure out who isn't in the files.
If you are a below average academic at some middling liberal arts college, a quick and easy way to get noticed is to label some piece of Western culture as racist and then pen some loquacious nonsense attempting to explain why.

It was rage bait before rage bait became a thing.
TLDR

That said, it's always been a BS position that the USA resides on "stolen land" and at the same time we are a nation of immigrants that shouldn't enforce a border.

It has been interesting to watch EU countries and Britain steadily walk down the 1984 path and be steadfastly oblivious to the obvious.

Their leadership attended some of the best liberal arts universities on the planet, but failed to read one of the most influential commentaries on the dangers of the power of the state assigned at the high school level 30 years ago?

Well, you're wrong. Take it up with the demographers if you don't like the definition I provided.

I find your post grossly underwhelming.

This statement is categorically false...as many Russian and Eastern Europeans discovered. Hell, even the Chinese are only communists in name.

I think you are being too defensive. No one begrudges your financial security as a retiree, but it's OK to acknowledge that young people face a different economic reality than in the '70s and '80s.

Unnecessary.

I do concur with your opinion that housing for young people is a major obstacle to financial stability. Our first starter was about 1200sf and was about 80K in the early 90s. My daughter and husband bought a 3/2 that's about 1,800sf for 350K in North Charleston. That's a pretty big jump in 30 years

Steady-on man. This has been a rare, constructive thread. No need to be terse.
That clown wants to talk about anything other than his own failures and scandal. :lol:

The boomers didn’t end the Cold War any more than the millennials caused the crippling government debt.


I take your point, but it is my contention that the cold war was largely economic and as both consumers and producers in that economy, the generation definitely made a significant contribution even if not directly in a leadership role negotiating with Gorbachev and Eastern bloc leaders.

And I am not sure why you refer to AOC. There isn't a fortune 500 CEO with less power than house rep that is nothing more than a noisy gong. To my knowledge she hasn't cosponsored a bill that has sniffed passage.

I've seen that before.

Tucker's issue seems to be with old hippies rather than Boomers, per se. My old man is a Boomer. He was USMC during Vietnam (he always points out that he did not see combat), lost some HS buddies to that war, and loathed hippies and draft dodgers with a somewhat unhealthy passion.

I was raised in a small town, conservative community. Not many of the hippy class around. So it was not my experience with teachers and mentors of that generation.

As someone else noted on the thread, I do agree that the old hippies are the ones out marching in places like Minneapolis...for reasons that absolutely escape me. How did that group come to the conclusion that a sovereign border was somehow a bad thing?

I don't think I can agree with this statement.

The US economy buried the Russians by 1989. People born in 46 would be 43 and mid-career at that time. The youngest of boomers were drivers during the .com boom and the explosion of the tech sector. Certainly GenX can take a great deal of credit for what would become the information age, but I don't think the contributions of the 80s to mid-90s can be ignored.

Interesting take. Life expectancy isn't going down short of another pandemic. So this is the new normal.

And people better get used to working into their 70s because few can afford to be retired for 1/3 of their lives.

Boomers are roughly between the age s of 63 -79, unless you have a TikTok account and then it's anyone over 30.

What is driving the angst towards this generation? Why do some of you feel they have profited at your expense?

The formative years of this generation coincide with the Civil Rights movement. Many were lost in Vietnam. The reference point for the beginning of the "long boom" is 1982. Boomers would be hitting the work force to roughly mid-career at that time...which is to say they deserve some credit for making it. Most are now retired or soon will be. They generally own their homes and have retirement savings. Why shouldn't they enjoy fishing and bouncing grandkids on their knees?

What's the beef here?
