So suck it up, buttercup!
LOL! My kids say this to me all the time even though I’m a Gen X guy anyway
Are you white? Are you a male?
Then it’s OK to discriminate. Happens every day.
Boomer.
It’s the same thing as saying “Whatever old man”.
What I noticed looking at leftist sites, social media and apps is if you question why a millennial supports communists and communism, for example they’ll praise Bernie as a God and you let them know Bernie is communist, right away they’ll call you a “boomer” as if it’s an insult. I guess Bernie Stalin doesn’t qualify as a “boomer” as he was hatched 1941.
Saying anything will get you some lash back from someone who’s offended.
Snowflake Americans have really lowered the bar for what qualifies as “discriminatory” or “offensive.”
I wouldn’t object to being called “boomer” but I have no doubt age discrimination exists and is fairly widespread. I’ve not been subjected to it, personally, but I’ve observed many instances of people who have.
People, especially men, in their 50’s and 60’s get the worst of it. I’m grateful I never had to seek a job since the late 70’s. However I know others who have, and it ain’t easy. Your best bet is to keep improving your knowledge and skills throughout your career.
I got great advice from my supervisor way back when. He said most people think that doing great work will get you rewarded. He went on to point out there’s a missing factor in that equation: visibility.
You may be doing a great job, and your boss may acknowledge it. However, you will be more successful if you make it a point to let others know. It’s tricky to do without irriating people, but a skill well worth making the effort to develop.
Is calling the prosecution morons a bad thing? What gall to waste the court’s time and our tax dollars.
I have never considered myself part of the “boomer” generation. I’m 52 born in ‘67. I was always under the impression the end of the boomer gen was between ‘62 and ‘65.
So suck it up, buttercup!
Ok Boomer is the same insolent snot the Boomers handed out to everyone who wasn’t them. It makes me laugh.
First Amendment. Does the boss admit that “boomer” is a reference to age/generation and not just a nickname of some sort?
Maybe it was a sexual innuendo, but then she would claim gender discrimination.
I just reply “Awww, that’s so cute!” with a big smile.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Every judge in the country should always first check if an action or law of the unconstitutionally big (hint) federal government is reasonably justifiable under one of Congress’s constitutionally enumerated powers, Congress’s Article I, Section 8-limited powers a good place to start.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In this case, the only age-related right affecting all citizens that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect deals only with voting rights issues, evidenced by the 19th Amendment.
"19th Amendment:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation [emphasis added]."
But since the referenced case clearly does not deal with voting rights issues, Congress has no express power to deal with the kind of age discrimination presented by this case. So we’re back to prohibited federal government powers clarified in the Butler excerpt above imo.
In other words, President Lyndon B. Johnson probably should never have signed the constitutionally indefensible, Democratic vote-winning Age Discrimination in Employment Act into law imo.
So with all due respect to Justice Roberts, if he wants to find something unconstitutional, then he should consider that school children who are up to speed with the significance of constitutionally enumerated rights might point out that frivolous court cases in the queue are probably compromising the 6th Amendment-protected right to a speedy trial for other cases in the queue.
Corrections, insights welcome.
Remember in November!
MAGA! Now KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)
Free speech doesn’t change with age.
We’re all Boomer now.
But I was the first one here. Heeeeeeee... :D
PS: My favorite response when someone says “Okay boomer” to me is “okay snowflake”. They usually give me an LOL smiley and we both move on.
The “OK Boomer” is lame. Can’t the kids come up with anything more creative?
