why does the baby boomer generation suck so bad

[SumJongGuy]

Are you really that much of a fuckwit? Inherited wealth is bad for the world, and bad for the people who get it. Better to spend it on shit that people get paid to produce than it is to preserve it. It's far better to do that, or just give it to charity, than it is to pass it down for the "benefit" of your kids.

This shit is obvious to a person who thinks, my man.

Listen fuckwit.. How many super rich people contemplate a reverse mortgage versus building the family footprint in the community? I'm talking about working class people who have the chance to help lift their kids up to the middle class and take more of a stake in their neighborhood.. Giving that property back to the bank only facilitates the next working class family to be gouged by the banks again rather than building up the working class stake in the neighborhood and share of wealth in the world. Reverse mortgages are doing as much to facilitate the concentration of wealth at the top as anything.

I'm against reverse mortgages... But I'm also pro a 100% inheritance tax on everything over 5 million dollars.

no it's them, guy.

He’s not your guy, buddy!

Another thing, related to the reverse mortgage sabotage of the middle class, is the destruction of collective bargaining and right to work bullshit. With collective bargaining being outlawed and unions losing influence, people no longer earn decent or any pensions or other benefits the boomers had themselves. Your home becomes your grand retirement plan. And the growth of the working class upward mobility suffers as a result.

...
I would like to point out that it's not boomers who are too stupid to vaccinate their kids.....

That has far more to do with the our failing educational systems than any generational difference in intelligence. We can debate who/what has caused the American secondary education system to crumble.

The old people at my job were like “Obamacare is going to cause riots in the streets!”

Then they refused to acknowledge I was right, and everything is fine.

Because weed legalization was going to be “the worst thing that ever happened to this state” according to our county sheriff.

Now they refuse to acknowledge I was right and everything is fine.

Because socialism and open borders and kneeling football players and blah blah blah

generation lucky as fuck is what i tell my kid he’s living in. tomorrow begins 8 weeks of ski camp and he’s still negotiating for a new iphone, i just had to laugh at next gens priorities

You ain't kidding. 8 weeks? He's gonna miss the 4th of July celebrations on Flowing Lake. Mine's currently doing 2 weeks, so he's only gonna miss the parade in town.

yup
why are people so scared of change?
there are people I disagree with out there, but I think its A+ when they stand up and say what they belive in and fight for it

Yep, I may mot agree with everything you say or everything you believe.. But by God I'll certainly fight for your freedom to believe what you believe and speak freely about it as long as it's not promoting harm to others.

Ever had any Millennial customers that act like they have never engaged in a business transaction and say things like "I think it should cost XXX" , "My Mom said YYY" , won't look you in the eye and think emojis in texts are communication?

It will make you appreciate the boomers.

I ain't your buddy, pal.

Calling me "buddy" even with the most amicable of intentions, is among the quicker ways to elicit a rancorous response from me. Getting my attention by shouting "hey, you son of a whore" would genuinely bother me far less.

I guess this belongs in the Shit That Annoys You thread, but it seemed apropos here.

maybe if yer some reactionary fucking American but up here Buddy is yer every-man in Canada so its ok to call everyone buddy, there's even a group called " Buddy wasisname and the other fellers " and here he is telling a joke with buddy in it

A general upbringing that never emphasized empathy and over weighed the concept of 'self-made' to the point of pathology; they never thought to reflect that collective societal improvements created the environment that brought them prosperity. When they surveyed what they "duly earned", completely ignoring that they stood on the shoulders of giants, and never saw past their own feet.

Agreed.

Nobody gave a fuck about where the country was going as long as they got 'theirs'.
That and they got snookered by politicos talking shit and got us here where we are today.
If yer not politically active and yer bitchin here, yer just another whore like them.

Jail the 1% and divvy their wealth amongst the rest.

Execute the 1% and their dependents (can't leave anyone around to avenge them) and divvy their wealth amongst the rest.

FIFY.

Is that the right syntax to convey a friendly bird, or is it "?"

From this day forward Glademaster shall only be referred to as “Buddy”. So it has been declared.

[iceman]

Get ready for the rancorous I guess.

Right, buddy?

Where do you sit with "cheif", "hoss" or "bro"...?
