/src on/What Boomers getting all the attention again!!! From a cynical, misanthropic Generation Xer./src off/
“Boomers” is the new insult word by the millineals. I’ve noticed in chat rooms if you express disbelief in climate change they immediately tag you as a “boomer”. They have this mindset like the little climate Nazi Greta Thunberg that the evil boomers have destroyed their future, their childhood and “how dare you” question climate change.
You entered the strongest labor market on record that provided livable wages even for those who did not attend college (which was a fraction of the price as it is now). You then did well in the housing market, turning cheap houses into lucrative sources of equity.
That’s sure a surprise to me. I graduated college in 1979, gas had tripled in price, if you could wait long enough in line to get some, and it hadn’t ran out by the time you got the chance. Interest rates were 18-20% for business loans. It was a fantastic time to be looking for employment, LOL!
