It's a class war, not an age war. Also, it's mostly republicans and a few democrats that made the unions not as strong.

Yes, but also boomers are also victims of the same system they haven't created. Don't forget about it, just for us not to turn into them
Survivorship Bias. The boomers alive today are the ones that weren't killed by wars, pollution, and poverty
Ex-fucking-zaxtly. My mom was a lifelong progressive, hippie movement participant, and generally cool as fuck badass mofo, but because of her birth year she got lumped in with the boomer politics jokes. She got it, she knew why they existed and what they were actually lambasting. But it hurt her to see what she thought of as a generation of protest and activism go down as a generation of right wing bullshit. She passed away in April, due to myriad health reasons that pretty all boil down to "near life long poverty" as the root cause.
I’m really sorry for your loss. Your mom sounds like a cool, badass chick and I’m sorry that she was the victim of this bullshit system.
Thats the funny thing people loop them all together because the rich. But this was the generation that protested. People are to dumb to realize its the wealth not when they where born. But whatever the rich keep us fighting amongst ourselves cause it works for them and people fall foe it all the time. I keen its been working for 400 plus years.
it's kinda sad hearing from recruiters, doesn't matter how cool and dynamic the position is that they're trying to fill, i'm not at the point in my life where I can take a 3$/hr pay cut to switch to a contract role
in a society where your worth is measured by how much money you have, you're insulting my face by lowballing me
I wanna be a horse trainer sooooo bad. But it doesn't pay the bills. So I'm stuck fixing computers and dealing with idiots from 7:30-4 (and sometimes later) Monday through Friday.
I get my horse time after work and on weekends
I mean, the world works this way even before late stage capitalism. You have to do things that bring value to others to survive, you can't just do what you think is fun all the time.
If you happen to love building houses, youll be set for life. Thats a skill we will always need. Some people are born lucky this way.
If your idea of fun is fixing old consoles and CRT TVs, sorry to say, you won't make a living on that. Or if you enjoy music, good luck making a real living doing it especially today.
Thats why the ideal society wouldn't tie work money to hobbies. You could live decently as a musician and a part time teacher if we had ubi and affordable housing.
There's a character in Star Trek named Boothby. He is a ground keeper for Starfleet Academy that gives wisdom out to cadets that get pass his gruff exterior. I'd be Boothby in a heartbeat.
This is actually your fault, btw
Boomers haven't been a voting majority in over a decade. JD Vance is a Vice President by, of, and for millennials.
All the kids are screaming at everyone to vote for the lesser of two evils. That's what we've all been doing for the past 80 years. Look where it got us.
We could have had Bernie, but one comment made by someone killed it: "Bernie is unelectable." That's all it took for people to run scared.
Fear is the most powerful emotion, and fear is how we are corralled, like pigs or chickens.
That's the funny thing. Millennials are the biggest Coting block but nope not their fault its the shrinking boomers. I also think people don't realize how old millebials and gen x are now.
Sort of. Millennials are mostly overworked and miss out on primaries. Boomers still have a lot of sway in politics because they have the time and money to go to political events.
Those jobs never paid well. Stop blaming one specific generation for 10,000 years of civilization not giving you a nice house.
You're either a child, or incompetent if you think it's anywhere near that simple.
