One more method of divide and conquer. There are good, conservative boomers just like members of other generations.

These labels are so stupid. I’m a late Gen exer, but my kids I suppose would be Gen Z. My law partner is a millennial, but since I’m a late Gen X and he’s an early millennial we are close in age. Yet somehow we are supposed to be completely different people. If anyone’s truly paying attention, the baby boomers were the original millennials anyway. Before they were called boomers, they were called “the me generation.” Because they only care about themselves. At least that was the stereotype. Does anyone remember that? Doesn’t every generation say that about younger people? It’s also idiotic.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The whole idea of dividing into little separate generations then blaming those before them for every ill is stupid and lazy. Did 1750's generation blame 1730's generation because they didn't get the same great vast land deals as those before them? No 1750's generation said this is our time, settled what land they could and made small farms and thanked their parents for giving them life and did their thing in their time. Your argument falls apart when you realize previous Generations just died off by the time the new generation was ready to take over. Boomers took power and held power longer than any generation. The norm had been you punch out at 45 and die by 60. In 2002 average CEO was 48 years old, today the average is 56 years old. Upward Trend. Back in the 1960's average was around 42 years old. Over the past decade, the number of CEOs ages 65 to 69 nearly doubled to 36, while those ages 70 to 74 increased from nine to 13, according to a survey of Fortune 500 CEOs by management consulting firm Korn Ferry. Same thing for the Elected but also Administrative Governments. Long gone is the 25 and out mentality. So Boomers not stepping down. This limits earnings growth for Millennials which increases their anxiety and desire for .Gov "fixes". Student loans are a perfect example. Boomers say "go to school and you'll be a middle manager making 6 figures in five years!" Meanwhile Boomer School Admin have hike prices to max out the Boomer Government subsidized loans from Boomer banks. 10 years after graduation, Millennials are still working entry jobs after years of layoffs, furloughs and wage stagnation. Millennials are still working for those middle management boomers making 6-figures. Meanwhile housing, cars and cost of living has tripled. Shocked Pikachu they want to vote for a solution. |

Blaming Boomers for their own fuck ups is being cowardly, IMO.
I don't blame anyone but myself if or when I do sometimes fail. Blaming others or taking things out on them is a bitch move, IMO. I generally ignore all whiny irresponsible persons who play the victim cards. There's a lot on this board, hilariously ironic to call out another culture for it then to turn around and do the exact same blame game. It's why I laugh and ignore/keep scrolling. No integrity, no care. |

I don't know too may millennial who are struggling if they followed the path laid out by their boomer grand parents/parents. Study hard, pick a viable career, prove yourself, make your mark. Plenty of doctors, lawyers, finance and other high professional careers seemed to be doing fine.
Just as in the past you have your general studies, social work type careers that lead to nowhere. Labor has always struggled to hold its place. It's under-appreciated by the elites and over-valued by the laborers but necessary for the equilibrium of the economy. |

Just like my comment about average age of CEOs, doctors are up there as well. https://www.ama-assn.org/delivering-care/health-equity/growing-number-doctors-life-medicine-extends-70s Average age is 52, over 30% are over 60. 50 years ago the average age again was around 40.

Quote HistoryQuoted: To be fair, many of the problems that exist in the US are due to governmental policy. Most politicians are not millennials. Furthermore, those politicians have been voting at least partly due to their voting blocks and special interests. For a long time, the largest active voting block is boomers. Sure, millennials have some responsibility for their own individual situation, but I would argue the broader environment was getting titled before they ever had a say in it. Millennials have a huge part on their own (perceived) “bad” condition: they tend (>50%) to vote liberal. So even though (liberal) boomers may be in charge, they were elected by millennials. Cases in point: 0bama and Biden. |

Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare), collapse of Libya, massive illegal migration, massive national debt, Baby Boomer President again. Who runs the Congress? Who runs the Executive? Who runs mass media? Who runs the universities? Who runs the woke corporations? Under who's rule did same sex marriage and all this tranny stuff start under? What generation was in charge when China was allowed to join the WTO? When did we become so dependent on China that we have to get all our medical supplies and antibiotics from them? Oh yeah, Baby Boomers1 Name me anything that Boomers have done that is good for the nation? The Greatest Generation defeated fascism and brought down the Soviet Union. WTF have the boomers done? Few things in Tech, but have those things made the world a better place? Not for folks here in the West. Sorry, but Baby Boomers are perhaps the most destructive generation we've ever had in the history of the USA. It will take generations to repair the damage done by Baby Boomers. |

I can remember growing up and probably 75% of my friends came from broken homes. mom and dad get divorced. Mom and dad "fight" each other to be the good parent - never discipline the kid, give them anything they want to be the "good" parent. Hell my best friend from gradeschool was in the same way. when we went to highschool and turned 16 his dad bought him a couple year old truck which he was cool with. Then his mom turned around and said what kinda of NEW truck do you want and bought him an S10 with a ZR2 off road package. another got a brand new S10 extreme another good friend's parents took him to the dealer and let him order the F150 he wanted I had a busted ass chevy blazer that was older than me, but I at least had 4wd and AT tires. People like to blame millennials for not wanting to work and having everything given to them and this is mostly true - but its also just as much a parents fault for not making them work and earn what they have. but the "boomer" generation just wanted to give their kids a good life and things they didnt have but they didnt realize they were creating an ungrateful generation. |

There is some truth in this. Each generation has their youthful liberalism, that time and reality turns into mature conservatism. It’s just the average age where that shifts is the difference. Boomers took much longer than usual to get there, and Millennials have yet to show the shift heading into their mid 30s/early 40. |

Well considering boomers are 65+ which lead to 40+ years of voting or not voting and I’ve only been voting or not voting for 17 years. I could see how it’s primarily the boomers fault for the way the US has gone. As well as the simple fact how they raise their kids and let them be indoctrinated by communists and fascist teachers. It is boomers fault.

The true problem in this country is not any specific generation. There's a general slide into immorality. If people of any generation turned to God, a lot of our problems would go away. Every problem in this country is caused by a violation of the ten commandments. Communism: mostly caused by coveting. Broken families: mostly caused by adultery. Huge deficits: mostly caused by stealing. Inflation: mostly caused by stealing. Entitlements: mostly caused by stealing. The soylent green new deal: caused by lying.
