Boomers are the greediest generation possibly ever. Never seen a group pull the ladder up so hard.
I have heard this a lot but no one has ever explained how that generation screwed over those that came after.
Not having kids and so dooming their societies.
Promoting degeneracy
While in power in organisations, allowing and promoting dei despite having the most power to end and block it. It's not boomers not being hired because of dei stuff, it's millennials and zoomers. At 2x the rate, to make up for it not being any boomers being replaced. It's easy to promote or just accept dei when it's not your job on the line, but that of 2 zoomers you don't know.
Voting for house price increases and local housing restrictions, and perpetual increases in pensions, despite not having kids to support it, and their life expectancy being far higher than when the pension came in.
For the few that did have kids, spending their inheritance
Putting their kids in school and day-care instead of raising them properly...
Buying a house near their work at 3x their annual income, and then telling younger people to suck it up, work hard, and just walk in with a handshake and your resume to be able to do the same, as though it was their hard work and anyone can just do the same now.
Even religion. Look at the boomer guitar masses which drive people away. The traditional stuff was rejected, thrown out, and suppressed by boomers.
Is every boomer like that? No. But it's an annoying pattern. And now everyone is collectively stuck paying for their pensions and healthcare while unable to afford their own homes, because the boomers did not build the next generation, while relying on the next gen's support when they can ill-afford it. And then being mocked by boomers for their hardship which they refuse to see or acknowledge.
Going from "youngest of seven" to "two kids is enough" in one generation is increasingly insane to me the older I get.
yeah
I listed that one first, because it may well be the worst.
If they were just ignorant of how hard and different things were compared to what they were given and pissed inheritances down the wall, that would be one thing
But by not having kids but making others pay for their shit while not being a large block to resist that, they've fucked everything.
Having seen both firsthand, I feel like that was a failure to change with the times,. 7 is too fucking many. Don't lie to my fucking face and say you can be a good parent to that many. You cant.
It used to be economic necessity I get it. But "large family" really needed to shift from 9 to about 6 when the industrial revolution.
You have 6 kids youre and idiot. You have 8 or more youre and ASShole
To add to Vicious_snek6's post, the general point about boomers is that they are too complacent and incurious to understand the effects of their actions.
To take one example, under their watch politicians let in millions of illegals and outsourced the economy through free trade and H-1Bs, destroying the earning potential of the average American worker, but a lot of boomers genuinely don't understand this has happened and will tell you that "kids just don't want to work nowadays."
They have a similar "fk it" attitude about the effects of second wave feminism essentially doubling the workforce (therefore halving wages) and no-fault divorce dismantling marriage.
Also, boomers talked massive trash about millennials for years, and yet they are the parents of all millennials so they were actually pointing the finger at themselves. Why didn't they realize this obvious implication? Because they bought the ahistorical, idiotic idea that you're a completely autonomous person as soon as you turn 18.
Boomers are what happens if you have a generation that completely buys into the lies of Jews and financiers (yes, yes, I repeat myself).
Leftists refuse to accept this as the real cause of the "rich poor divide".
Another good example of too complacent and incurious: the 1986 vaccine injury act. Cue the skyrocket of autism and autoimmune disorders.
Regulation. The generation that coined "get a job with a firm handshake" is the same generation that sicced cops on lemonade stands. They benefited from there being no rules and the regulated everything to death.
Seeing society completely change and being completely uninterested in the welfare of their children or the next generation as a whole.
"Wow Timmy came home from school and now has these new pronoun things, how wild hahaha, anyway we have to go on a wine tour"
As an experiment, find a boomer that's well off and ask them how they've seen society change and what advice they'd have for someone your age. 98% chance you will get the dumbest bumper stick level comment that bears no resemblance to reality.
That was the federal reserve, compound interest, and money printing. Not the boomers.
Don't let them redirect your ire. It's the banks that are the problem, not the people living under the rules that have been forced upon them by the banks.
You can’t blame this all on the banks. 2nd/3rd wave feminism- Boomers, H-1Bs- Boomers, Anti-redlining bill causing the stock market crash- Boomers, DEI and “Anti-racism”- Boomers, Dual income household- Boomers, declining birth rate-Boomers, killing nuclear power- Boomers, Hippies- Boomers. People like to pretend millennials were the “me” generation, but it was boomers, they were the most libtarded generation the ones who implemented mass immigration to replace having a birthrate and are to this day the financial rugpullers on every later generation. Inflation can’t explain why a mechanical engineer starting salary today is making almost half of one in 1990 when you adjust for inflation. Banks didn’t do that, government policy and a generation of unrepentant narcissists did.
It's monopolies. Boomers got 401k's then got stars in their eyes. They didn't care about long term impact they went for short term increase of their "retirement" fund and cheered for every bullshit law the benefited it. Which is all actually just going to become a "medical care" and "pharmaceutical" fund in the low rent wasteland their easily manipulated greed has created.
It's the government flooding the pool with Poos for kids to drown in shit, which caused housing to be unaffordable.
Go into detail for us with poor economic understanding please
...How many generations have you seen Lestat?
