We are such idiots.
It’s the same as resentment by race or gender or religion or whatever.
Distracting and missing the real enemy.
and now they are determined to take it all with them to the grave, not sharing a penny with the generations which came after.
Contrarily, I keep telling my brother, someone is going to spend it, it might as well be you instead of the nieces and nephews.
“ People displaced from urban cores by rampant criminality will have no compunction at all against invading the homes of empty-nest Baby Boomers.”
Oh goody. Target practice.

We have built a bad world.
We have voted for bad politicians.
We have tolerated bad legislation.
We have constructed bad institutions and establishments.
We have been poor parents and raised generations ill-prepared for life.
I don’t think “tweaking” things is going to fix anything. I think it’s going to all come crashing down.
What about all the white male Boomers who had to step to the side and watch every perceived minority get preferential treatment? Oh, the anger is one-sided.
Ridiculous. If things were to deteriorate that far that quickly it is the entire nation and people that should beware, not just a generation. It is all over for everyone.
And of course the majority of boomers have been footing the bills for their mature children for some time now, according to Dave Ramsey.
That is not even getting into the nonsense of housing problems being the boomers’ fault.
I don’t agree with the above attacks on the Boomers. But what they are guilty of, beginning with Bill Clinton, is starting quantitative easing as a way of life. Stealing the value of the US Dollar to play around with. Which is why real assets have inflated, such as housing.
Also, immigration has increased demand. Ironic that Yuan Yi Zhu is leading the charge against home prices when he’s likely new to the country. But feels free to attack Boomers.
I’m going to leave my kids the exact same amount of money that my parents left me.
Maybe there wouldn’t be such rage against boomers if we hadn’t offshored the younger generations’ futures for the promise of cheap prices.
there are folks on FR that blame boomers for everything.
Sorry Charlie. We don’t live in shithole ghettos where the pitchfork and torch crowd can marsh up and cause mayhem. They live in shitville and we live in the nice part of town. They would to get into their cars which they don’t have or walk for an hour which they won’t do all to get shot by the ubiquitous “assault rifle” in my den.
Deport all of the ILLEGAL INVADERS and your housing prices will level out and your wages will go UP, ZooMers (Gen Z/Millennials).
Not me. I'm leaving my money to Elon Musk.
In twenty years, the baby boomers will be between 80 and 100, if they are still around. Huge numbers of fine houses will be available, and prices will plummet.
Perhaps we ..I say we grudgingly because I was born in the last year or so , of the boomers. My wife was born so close to the date she could be either a boomer or an X….do have some of the blame to bear.
BUT
Do some searching. Most of the soul crushing conditions Millenials and Zs are facing (immigration flood/crime/debt up to their noses) are NOT Boomers fault at all.
The so called “greatest Gen” and “lost gen” had politicians and leaders that were Almost Communists/ and if interntionLit socialists.
——Jekyll Island meeting and the Fed reserve that has created so many economic disasters? 1910
—FDR. Who moved the nation left, started the massive government programs and so much more. Born 1882.
LBJ—created the entitlement social services program that has ruined a good part of the black community and created the cradle to grave big brother system. Born 1908
Hart and Celler, who revamped the immigration system to the mess it is today? with a lot of help from Bobby Kennedy. Born 1888, 1912 and 1925 respectively.
And don’t forget Emma Lazarus whose stupid poem changed the notion of the Statue of Liberty from celebrating REPUBLICAN democracy (look it up) to immigration. Born 1849.
Etc etc
Dear GEN X-Y-Z-WHATEVER,
We made it.
So can you.............
And you have proof that these “social media posts” were done by Boomers?
Or...
People who want to blame Boomers?
I’ve heard more than a few Boomers say they worked hard for their life and life achievements, but I’ve never heard any saying “Ha Ha! F You! In your face!” like these so-called posters are portrayed saying here.
