Hate is like drinking a vial of poison and expecting it to harm the other person
Beyond that, the average boomer had about as much power to change things as the current generations do. That's to say... not much. When many of these things were created the boomers were young. They didn't have power. Like today there was a power elite and there was no Internet. The media force fed them a healthy diet promoting the agenda they followed.
Let's say all the boomers were gone tomorrow. Do you really think the X, and Y would do much better? I'm probably more against the the things this article is complaining about than you. But it's the elite and the plebs. The point is what are you doing. What am I doing.
Screw hate. It's a waste and poison.
That’s one of my favorite quotes
Nah, fuck em.
If they repent and understand their gravy position and admit, like you say, they didn't know better or had anything to do with creating it — fine, I'll allow it.
But arguing back, and invoking one of the infuriating "but I paid into the system!"/"but I worked hard, you just have to" then zeeeero empathy
I drive a 25-year-old Toyota pickup truck. Ferraris have poor quality control. ROFL.

Doesn't it at least matter what they do with the money? The checks come either way.
maybe a little... give all/most to their 20-something grandkids and OK, I'll shut up
My sisters 30 something son wants her to buy him an apartment-
She asked my advice and I told her no, don't spoil the lazy parasitic brat he can work for what he wants like we did - instead he sits around all day poor me navel gazing and complaining about the world like @denlillaapan while collecting welfare checks.
so he doesn't work at all? how does he live?
Stays with his mother rent free while receiving welfare checks and occasional cash jobs.
My attitude may sound harsh but he is a smart guy and I have seen others like him waste their away their lives on welfare.
Yes the economy is harder these days in many ways, but for most men work is important to the achievement of self worth and life goals.
nah, I'll hate them alright. They're the ones living their happy lives because of this horrid system; the beneficiaries. It's OK to fling dirt at them or, you know, key their Ferraris
