"That sounds gay grandpa"

"It was, we were all gay!"

An honest boomer would say to a gen z: I am sorry you're a loser, but you were taught in school by progressives and that was your death knell.

Penis butt?

What's gay about a wet willy? There was a girl at my school who'd say she was going to whisper a secret in your ear, and then spit in it. She definitely had at least a wet willy coming.

As a Boomer, I want to personally thank 48-Cowboy. You see, in less than 6 years the government is going to start sending me a little over $3k a month. This is money I don't really need so I plan on blowing it on top shelf whiskey and strippers. So Cowboy work hard, pay your taxes, and I'm raising a glass of Sazerac 18 y. o. rye to you.

@ Skibum609, it never ceases to amaze me that your reading comprehension is so bad. Boomers raised millennials, millennials are the teachers now. Millennials are Boomers fault, so you really need to apologize to gen z for failing them.

@ JustinTolook, congrats! You have achieved a very low financial bar for your generation of not needing social security for your retirement 👍. The bad money management under your generations watch is about to come to roost. We will see hyper inflation shortly, so your $3k per month may buy you a couple of nice dinners, but may not be enough to get a young dancer to touch your dick.

Socialist security will go one of two ways.

1. It will be inflated away.

2. It will be redistributed and taken from the haves like you to the have not, and inflated away anyway.

Either way, the future is not as bright for you as you think.

The pandemic is teaching us we need a basic universal income and pensions adjusted for real inflation.

We can't rely on the rich throwing us a few crumbs

With the unemployment boost gone and evictions allowed. Wait for the worst Christmas on record and hopefully a class war

Wait, theracialslurforblackpeopleformerlyknownasicee, I thought YOU were rich, with your owning three houses and owning a fully paid off penis car?

If that's true, you'll be on the ass end of the class war.

The clear fuck-over of the young is that, in the 60s we'd reached a point where, even if your job only required a 10th grade education (if that), it was common that you could still afford to pay your bills, own a house and a new car. This went away cause "the market" required it. Yeah, sorry, not bending over for "the market", cause it doesn't even give reach arounds.

The other fuck-over was the young got a lot of bullshit advice that they should get up to their necks in debt to pay for an overpriced college education. They were told they were setting themselves up for a good paying job, which was a lie. But they have to take some part of the blame, they weren't children, and should have been more cautious about going so deep in debt.

All this economic doom and gloom. I wonder why that happened?

As far as I'm concerned all this debt forgiveness is bullshit. Literally a handout from the less to the more educated, from those who made better life decisions to those who made worse ones. As far as I'm concerned, if you were 18 when you signed the loan, you're able to vote and enter into binding contracts, don't complain when you listened to the wrong people.

Income inequality has skyrocketed because in this globalized economy, the returns to extraordinary talent are greater than ever before. Facebook and Google made a smaller workforce fabulously wealthy, while not providing as many jobs as say, Ford and US Steel (which required a huge pool of rote labor).

A complex tax code favors the rich. Who else has all the people to help them evade taxes, or open corporations in the Cayman Islands? Rate doesn't matter. What's 35% of zero?

Boomers benefited from a scenario that was never going to last. After WW2 we were the only manufacturing power out there. We bombed the shiznit out of Germany and Japan. Europe was wrecked. China hadn't come online. How else could an unskilled laborer, with a high school education, support a wife and 4 kids and retire with a full pension after 30 years? In the process, they passed policies that have jacked up the price of real estate, locking the young out of the market. And now, all the debt we're is is going to hurt our ability to spend. We can't afford what we have, let alone progressive pipe dreams that always come in over their already-gargantuan estimates.

So yeah, the young are fucked on several fronts. I'm in my early-40s and a lot of people my age are struggling. I'm balling, because I had the fortune to be born wicked smahhht (as they say up here), and an intact, loving family that instilled the importance of education and work ethic. And executed on it.

Anyone who promises an easy solution is lying, or a politician. But I repeat myself.

Intergenerational antagonism is mostly click-bait news articles and people actively seeking out reasons to be unhappy about whatever happens to be within an arm's reach.

I can only go on the folks I meet, but across all of these 'branded' generations, there seems to be a pretty standard bell curve of behaviors ranging from smart to stupid, productive to unproductive, and decent humans to absolute assholes. I'm not worried about or annoyed by young people. They're doing fine.
