Baby Boomers aka the Worst Generation

[UsualName]

My first job was min wage ($1 hour in 1969) asshat. The equivalent of $6.78 in 2018. That was the rate for people under 18.
And I didn't stay there long. Next job was $3/hr. It's called work and trying to do better in life. And I never blamed anyone else. Hell, the thought never entered my mind that I had it bad. Loser's like you just want to wallow in your self inflicted misery and blame someone else for it. Pathetic.

You’re an idiot, that $6.78 figure is for 1996.

Try using the current year, 2018:

You have no idea 1. How good you had it because your parents fought for good wages and 2. How hard the millennials are getting screwed over.

One thing I do agree with: boomers who were such lousy parents that they raised millennials with this "poor me" victim mentality absolutely are the worst generation.

They aren't wrong.
The Boomers are the biggest loser generation in the last 100 years..
Unfortunately for us - the Millenials are looking to outdo them...

All of that Ayn Rand, Ronald Reagan yuppie culture, self centered nonsense has taken its toll on the country and on the generations that have come after and they know it.

The baby boomers inherited a unionized workforce with high wages and a high standard of living. As they exit they are leaving a huge income gap between workers and the wealthy, a declining standard of living, and massive debts both in the government and on the millennials.

These are the results of Reaganomics and the fallacy of tax cuts for the wealthy benefit the working people. The country is weak and the only benefit was to a very few people who were already wealthy.

If you lefties are looking for a place to move to and implement your socialist worker's paradise, I believe that the entire country of Venezuela can be bought at a discount now, and the framework for your economic policies is already in place.

I disagree. I think the millennials are underrated. They lack some degree of “rugged individualism” but they are also way more productive as workers and tech savvy than any of the three previous generations. Those two traits alone will advance humanity in ways previous generations never could have.

Nice way to defend the failure of Baby Boomers.

The current path we are on of the increasing wealth gap and decreasing quality of life from Reaganomics will ultimately lead to the picture above.

Well, because I am a flexible kind of guy, I will agree with you IN PART.

The current path we are on will ultimately lead to the picture above- if not reversed- because much of Venezuela will be living here. That's one reason why we might look more like Venezuela.

Work with that a little.

They are not more tech savvy. Technology advances and so do the users of the technology. Can't be tech savvy with technology that didn't exist. Bottom line, millennial's are pussies. What would they do if faced with segregation? Actual racism and true discrimination? How would they handle the sexism of the 50's and 60's? Not the fabricated shit they feign outrage over today. The real stuff. The noose. The fire hose. The hit the door bitch, we don't hire your kind.That's what Boomers of every stripe had to grow up with. These fucking cunts today would melt like a god damn ice cream bar on a hot summer day. You piss in a bathroom next to a white man...thank a boomer. You get your fucking abortion on demand...thank a boomer. You get the job, get promoted...thank a boomer. You're gay and can live your life as you choose...thank a boomer. What the fuck are you losers protesting about today? A college education on my nickel? Fuck you! Suck it up sally and make your own way.
