“Boomer” is not a synonym for “old”, “old fashion” or “senior” people.
Stop using it for everything like a stupid spoiled hyper-connected kid ?

best!

note: I’m 39.

    Whatever the age, if you act like a know it all privvy removed everybody’s going to fuck you like a removed.

    Hey, this post is a great example of that very thing!

    I feel sad for the people who bought into the ‘boomers are to blame’ propaganda. Very similar to the ‘they terk er jerbs’ crew. From this article:

    Research by the Insured Retirement Institute (IRI) from 2019 also suggests trouble for many retiring Boomers. IRI found that 45% have no retirement savings. Out of the 55% who do, 28% have less than $100,000. This suggests that approximately half of the retirees are, or will be, living off of their Social Security benefits.

    I don’t know if you think that it was millenials who started planting trees, or protesting forestry policies and oil companies, but I’ve been getting arrested for that very thing since the 80s, along with a lot of my friends. People who, by the by, did not make the cut for home ownership. If you think it’s because everyone over 40 voted for this, I’d be curious to know who you’ve been voting for that is turning this around.

    The people you want to be raging against are the rich people. Plain and simple. And if you’re such a simpleton as to believe that the problem is age, it probably doesn’t matter what you think at this point, anyway. But I wish you the best of luck!
