Dude, the game is rigged. It’s all fake. If voting made any difference, the controllers would never let us do it. They had about as much control of the government back then as we do now. Which is none whatsoever. Go look at the M1 10 yr chart. Did Trump ask our permission to print money like a drunken sailor and devalue our currency? He sure didn’t. And I dont want future generations to blame me because I had zero say in any of these disastrous policies these psychopaths are implementing now. Our governments are a cabal of psychopaths.

When my one boomer neighbor died, her sister (in a nursing home now) asked me to go in with the police and funeral director to retrieve valuables from the home. These two boomer ladies, who I had always assumed were of modest means (often times getting neighbors to do house work for them), were sitting on actual wads of cash and had several hundred thousand in the bank. This in addition to the thousands in precious metals and various dividends and stock investments. They quite literally could've paid for any service imaginable, but instead preferred/relished guilt-tripping their busy/overworked younger neighbors into doing it for free. It forever changed my perspective on boomers, because I realized just how greedy and deceptive many of them are.

[@savvyroca]

I just realized this as well! Boomers are using the next door app to get free stuff and work done around the house instead of paying a legit electrician, landscaper etc. I thought it was just in my hood they were pulling this shit.

[@MadisonAtteberry]

You know....were they religious? I ask, becuase that's one thing I've noticed about Boomers, even the last of the silent generation for that matter, is the constant reminded of God's judgment, and I wonder what their thoughts are when the end comes. Regardless if you're atheist or not, just in those final moments, what's going through their heads? And if there is, what would their defense be when propped up for judgment? However, if every rule dose have an exception, I had an Uncle who was a Boomer, and I tell this story becuase I find it funny, and I hope you do too. Before an Uncle on my fathers side died, his father, my grandfather, called him up, it was about being cremated, and it went something like this; My grandfather; "Bear (his name was Randy, but my grandfather gave all the boys nicknames, simply becuase his mother, my great-grandmother, hated them) I need to talk to you about this being cremated. In the bible, it is clearly stated that it is a sin to cremate ones body, for if it's destroyed, you-" My Uncle; "Let me stop you right there old man, I've read the bible, you know I've read the bible, becuase before you left for ship (U.S. Navy) you told each and everyone of us that if we didn't read it, and couldn't remember a passage that you gave us to remember, you'd kick our heads in, and when you came back, we read the passage you wanted us to remember, you still kicked our heads in. After I left home, I read the old, new, Jewish, Hindu and so many others, and none of them....say anything about anything on cremation and it being a sin, however, if we are talking about sins, there are a few they all seem to agree upon, and so I got a few for you, and out of all those agreed sins, lets start with....adultery." My grandfather hung up. Now my father, when his generation mentioned things, like 'just buy a house' he loves to lay down the numbers, "So, you bought your starter home and sold it double what you bought it for, then that person did the same, and that next person, and the next, so when the younger generations finally got into the world, a starter home that cost you, say.... '$30 or 60' thousand dollars, is now damn near 3 million, and these young people have to live with, maybe, three or six people for a small apartment, that they are just barely making rent on, let alone bills."

The last time I got into it with my mother over similar topics, I pulled out an inflation calculator and cost of living index to show her how wrong she was. She was going on and on about how hard the 80s were etc. and how little she earned. When I did the math and showed her how much she was able to save back then, just by being a nurse, she said, "Oh!" and gave me a big smile as she remembered how good she had it.

This is my boomer mother to a T. With her it's a _cluster-B personality disorder,_ specifically a _malignant narcissist._ These things are chameleons with a snake tounge. Shifting principles on a sliding scale, which means that they're not principles. Mirroring tactics that usually make no sense, tangential counterpoints (anything to be contrarian), using her children (or anyone really) as tools to guilt or threaten other people with, then when they're still not getting their narc supply, much like an addict, they'll turn increasingly hostile and malignant.

So when you look at average salary and you look at the cost of living today and compare that to the economy of the second half of the 20th century. Then you add in the fact there’s more people on SS than ever before and compound that with bloated government spending and you still think we have it the same and the boomers didn’t have it better? That’s the problem with boomers is you say every else complains about entitlement but you take away their gov checks and watch the tears start pouring. You are not owed anything, no one owes you a retirement. Get back to work if you weren’t smart enough to save your pennies and not blow your money on dumb shit. People that will be dead soon are running this country in the ground because they feel like they’re entitled to everything and f them kids. The boomers will be a generation that had it better than their children and did nothing to preserve or make it better for them. I hope the millennials and gen z won’t be so selfish.

Wrong. SOME of the Boomers, the older versions, started as hippies. Most of those ended up being legit cool parents while the rest decided not to have kids (unless it was by accident during Summer of '68). MY Boomer parents, and the ones that Tim refers to and grew up with as well, were the ones that came up in the world as young adults after the Manson Family (CIA) ruined the 60s, JFK was assassinated (by the CIA and the Mob), and Psychedelics were criminalized (...by political othering to shut down the civil rights movement and artistic expression). Then the war on drugs and, subsequently, the war on the gays started up. Dont forget about coke and crack eras that were both perpetuated and exacerbated by Intelligence services as well. THAT is what 70 or whatever majority % of the Boomers that ruined the country caused and lived through. Power and money went to their heads and they learned absolutely nothing from their predecessors or from their peers. Most of them lived long, happy lives (albeit FILLED with religious fervor and fear-based decision making) and get to own the world all the way to their all-too-late passing.

I hope your father is blessed with a long and healthy life full of happiness. Those are the type of parents who should raise children.

Some of those boomers lived in the image of their own fathers, rather than the majority of boomers who were raised to be special.

​@@PortekbermWhat exactly is the point ? The one single solitary point ? Make it concise, ok ? Then we can debate the issue.

Your father sounds like a good honest man. Make sure to tell him you love him often

The sadness evident in music from the 90's and 00's, as Boomers children first got into adulthood

[@dirtnbloodnotherkids]

So true, the nihilism from a whole generation traumatized by divorce, selfish parents and a crumbling society manifested in pop culture back then, there were no emo kids in the 50s😂

Specially mid to late 90s. I enjoyed the Nu Metal era as anyone else, but as a "third world" kid who got to see all this happen from the TV, I never really quite got what all these "Americans" were so upset about: cool music, parties, rock shows, skateboards, beer, nice cities, basketball, video games. As time goes by, it seems more and more evident.

@@Eaoleolo I have hated American popular music ever since Kurt Cobain and Howard Ashman died and Clear Channel/iHeartRadio pretty much banished anything worth listening to from terrestrial radio.
