Right now, "Boomers" hold 51% of the wealth in this nation. The youngest "Boomer" is 61 years old.
If you consider Congress overall, combining both chambers: "Boomers" make up roughly 43–44% of all voting members.
5 out of 9 justices are Boomers
That’s roughly 55.6%
Clinton, Bush, Obama and Trump are all Boomers.
Gen X? The forgotten generation.
If you notice ever since the '80s, we have shifted to the Left in this country.
America moving left began long before the 80s, try the mid 1800s, and the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s get left out.
You are simply too stupid to realize your fav politicians sold your azz down the river via NAFTA and other pgms insuring jobs are impossible to find. But, given the intelligence of your generation it was relatively easy for them.
I grant that the Gen-X and Gen-Z people are pretty much screwed.
If they finally do vote for an explicitly socialist system to confiscate the Boomers' stuff, they will find that the government beat them to it and has taxed it all away.
And that Socialist Free Stuff Club? Well, to paraphrase George Carlin: "It's a big club and they are not in it".
After WWII, can't blame them.
They wanted their children to live the "good life".
Queen Elizabeth II made the same mistake in the UK, her children are a bunch of parasites. And guess what? They're "Boomers" too.
Elizabeth's formative years were during the war.
I’m going to sell my house to a conglomerate just to piss off azz holes like canckles here from having a chance to buy it.
Millennials appear to be similar to Boomers.
You can see the mentality.
Gen X seems to "get it". And you can say the same thing about young men from Gen Z.
There are more “I”, “me”, “my” and “mine” in this thread than an Obama speech. No wonder they are so hated.
Many cultures elders try to make sure their progeny have a better future. Our elders turned out to be locusts.
Millennials are the successors to the Boomers. And they are effectively running many large organizations right now. They are the ones who will benefit from the Boomer Hate direction. Well, at least some of them will benefit.
They will be the ones egging on the Gen-X and Gen-Z people while continuing the system that is ripping them off.
It is all a nasty distraction.
It ends when the entire system falls apart from unsustainable debts and hyperinflation. The traditional corrective measures are war, famine, pestilence, and death. Gen-Z gets tasked with rebuilding a new system from the rubble.
Maybe we should be nicer to them.
RE: Nasty little punk certainly paints us Boomers with a broad brush.
He himself is a boomer.
These recent generations following the boomers grew up with advantages and luxuries we never dreamed of having.
And divide and conquer is democrat SOP. And you all have fallen for it hook, line, and sinker.
What a bunch of ingrates you guys turned out to be.
Maybe instead of just being keyboard warriors, you could actually fix the alleged problems you’re faced with.
The martyr complex does not wear well with the entitled younger generations who have been given so much and don’t appreciate it.
AOC is a perfect representative of a Millennial.
Millennials were raised by "Boomers".
Yeah, that's not a good thing.
At least the Greatest Generation was patriotic even though they did a lousy job raising their progeny.
Millennials were taught not to be patriotic.
The non-boomers complaining about everything they don’t have shows a very entitlement mentality, ungrateful attitude.
They act like they’re the first generation to ever have difficulties and trouble affording a house.
My kids are going to end up with an inheritance I never dreamed I could leave them. For that matter, they’re way better off financially than mr. mm and I were when we were their age.
The problem I see with the younger generations is lack of self-discipline with finances, my youngest being quite the exception. That girl can save money like nobody I ever saw. She just knows how to budget, save, and when to cut out the Starbucks and new phone every year. She does her own house maintenance to save money, too.
The younger generations have valid reasons to complain. The opportunities are simply not there for them unlike previous generations. Unless of course, they happened to be born in a wealthy family.
The estimated average age of first-time homebuyers in the U.S. was 26 in 1950, 28 in 1980, 32 in 2000, and 40 in 2025.
First not to set the next generation up for the future?
Exactly what planet are you from?
You have no idea of the history of the people of the past generations. How people were mostly starting off with nothing. And starting young.
Working any job they could find, factories, mining,fishing, sailing...
Spending too much time in hallmark movidom.
In 2025 inflation‑adjusted dollars, the typical U.S. home cost about $92,000 in 1950, $185,600 in 1980, $225,000 in 2000, and $462,206 in 2025.
I’ve watched my non-rich kids and their non-rich friends navigate these times. Anyone with ambition, self-discipline, and a good work ethic can make it just as we had to at their age.
There’s far more involved than just the money.
All this blame the boomers hysteria is just them wanting to blame SOMEONE for the mess they’re in. And it’s easier to blame others than exercise some self-control and self-discipline and just do what you NED to, not what they WANT to.
The best I can do is to help some of the Gen-Z people that I work with to succeed at what they are doing. They are still flexible enough to unlearn the most destructive ideas they absorbed from the education system and popular culture.
The ones I see are very good workers and some have entrepreneurial mindsets. They adapt very well to changing circumstances and have good prospects if the older generations do not sabotage them. Maybe even if they do.
I am not sympathetic to the Gen-X and Millennial people when they take up the Boomer Hate idea. They are looking for freebies from the "wealth pump" system, which is falling apart all around them. They are too late to get in on the grifting positions which were always a sucker game anyway. And they are looking to blame somebody else for their own mistakes.
There are stupid and evil people in every generation. The key thing is to not leave them in charge of other people. The next generations need to improve their abilities to make those judgements.
