They did not know what western governments would do with respect to money printing, and house price increases through mass migration. This anti-boomer sentiment just increases division.

I mean they played the hand they were dealt. And even that’s being too generous. They didn’t know the hand they were being dealt and kind of just fell ass-backward into it. They kinda bumbled into “what they have” really.

The worse part is they don't even see it

I get ya. I also know my dad is slightly too old to be a boomer. the He was born into a world with essentially no compute. Started his career at IBM fixing punch card computers in the auto factories. Ended his career at IBM working on upgrades to the AS400 mainframe. Now he’s at the end of h...

Pfft... Cry harder?

Could be just me but seems boomers aren’t generous at all. I want to be the anti boomer. Give abundantly as often as I can.

I’m not going to defend boomers, but I think that everyone white washes the history of the second half of the 20th century. There were massive amounts of turmoil. We down play the risks of the time because we know how everything turns out.

Probably best to leave it in the sun first so it hardens. A brittle failure is probably mire satisfactory

It makes you wonder how much crap was ignored

I let it go after leaving the workforce. GenX & Millennials are just as selfish & retarded, they just weren't in from the start of the pyramid scheme. There's so few at the top of the Pyramid, you really can't blame any particular race, religion, gender or generation. I get excited about what's...

Yeah a world war, communism, Vietnam, Cold War, 1986, 2001, 2008……we have it so much worste….

They just did stuff

I don’t want to hate on individual Boomers, I probably wouldn’t have done anything better than they have. But one thing I know for sure, when the values of their real estate gets demonetised through Bitcoin, I will care as much about them, as they cared about us, when housing got unaffordable f...

Bro every time I think about the world the boomers were born into and then look at the world they handed us I wanna fix shit.

Wrong "group" to "attack" plus blame just keeps everything and everyone stuck. The division of society working, we are being well distracted. Boomers had no internet and mobile phones. A daily newspaper and a couple tv stations that showed news which everyone watched at the same time were news

Weak men create hard times.

Me too. Although it must be said that every generation takes it out on the previous one or the next one 🤷‍♂️

if you read the 4th turning, there was no alternative

Boomers in the streets https://youtu.be/7C0iEAPLqjw Where are all the many young people to support farmers and firefighters? I see a ton of boomers in this group.

Population: 71.6 million Boomers in the U.S. as of 2025 (U.S. Census Bureau). Wealth: Hold 53.2% of U.S. household net worth in 2023 (Federal Reserve). Workforce: 29% of 65-72-year-olds still working in 2023 (Pew Research). Healthcare: Will account for 56% of Medicare costs by 2030 (CMS). Di...

I don't really want to add fuel to fire but lately I've been going through this clash also. The thing that annoys me the most is the lack of learning. Our generation (Millenials and Generation X in this case) had to learn everything and we're still learning and adapting. Baby boomers didn't have t...

If the world is thought of as something that humans extract resources from and conquer, then, yes, much has been extracted, and we are facing negative externalities. But, take a hard look at that point of view in the first place. This comes from the same culture that got us into our predicament, a...

Boomers built a world, now you want to break it. Progress or decline? Depends who you ask.

Building anew 🧡

Great book on this is A Generation of Sociopaths by Bruce Cannon Gibney

Mmm 🤔

That’s how we got Rage Against The Machine.
