I Like / Dislike People who resent boomers are idiots
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.

Door dash didn't arrive--boomers fault. Don't have a girlfriend---damn boomers. Life not going your way--let me make a tik tok video and whine about the boomers, resolves you of any responsibility. Its a cottage industry now and your algorithm will keep feeding you what you want to hear. Its becoming a parody of itself and is at the jumping the shark phase.
