That sure took hold. It is worse than that, though. There are some out there hating on Boomers, Tucker is a main one. He actually said he hated them. The other person agreed in the interview I saw, but I cannot remember who it was.

Watch your backs, people.

There are some out there hating on Boomers, Tucker is a main one.

I was born at the tail-end of the baby boom (1963). I had my first real job at Trinity College when Tucker was a student there, only a few years younger than me.

Job crises, family crises, health crises, and my inability to be a successful career climber means I have no 401K (it was exhausted), never had a fortune, have a house in a neighborhood about as wealthy as Vermont Avenue on the Monopoly board (maybe States Ave. if you want to push it), and I am lumped in with those people who had some combination of luck, fortitude, focus, ability, and hard work, and have a pile. I do not begrudge them their financial success.

But this is the generational version of the "white privilege" thing that somehow applies to Appalachian coal miners.

I am going to assume that the hyperbolic talk about hating boomers (Trump engages in this type of hyperbole as well) is concomitant with a certain type of social media consumption, and may have to be taken at not quite face value. It still isn't kind, and worse, it generally isn't true.

"There are some out there hating on Boomers, Tucker is a main one. He actually said he hated them."

Well, he hates Israel too, so that puts this Boomer in good company for the spoiled Tucker Carlson to hate. What an ingrate he is.
