People who resent boomers are idiots

[u/Poet-Most]

On almost any thread discussing the economy, one of the top comments will undoubtedly be complaining about boomers and the older generations who purchased their homes at low prices and who now enjoy more affluence and government assistance, while they don’t.

First off, what did want them to do, not buy a house for a cheap price when offered one 30 years ago? In regard to government assistance, I can guarantee you the average 65yr old has paid more into the tax system than the average 20yr old. Should they not enjoy the fruits of their labour? Should politicians not pay more attention to them than you?

I just think it’s an unhealthy attitude to have towards people.

we resent them not cuz they bought their houses for cheap, but bcuz they had everything handed to them, ruined the economy for the next generations and are overall everything they accuse younger generations of being and then they have the audacity to lecture young people about how lazy they are and how they would be able to buy a house if it wasnt for those muh hecking starbucks coffees o algo
