Lost Generation, wow sucks to be young today.

Quote from chasinfla:

piss off you little shit. boomers owe you nothing and the more I hear nonsense like this, the more I understand why you useless lying slackers voted Obama in. Boomers ought to blame you, you mealy mouthed femme.

Boomer Presidents:

Bill Clinton (the decay begins)
George W. Bush (imbecile)
Barack O'bama (fill in the blank)

That probably says it all.
 
OTHO, 4 out of 5 people i know under age 30 have an iPhone, and some of them also have an ipad. some of them make $14k per year. do i feel sorry for them? nope. people who are in trouble usually dug themselves into that hole.

in addition, young people have been able to borrow money at absurdly low rates. my student loans were 8-10%.

the grass is always greener on the other side
 
i am tired of young people complaining. they have never had it better. people just have to get over the idea that you go right from school to a middle class lifestyle. it took some of us many years to get financially independant. my first full time job paid $10 per day. my first car cost $15.

by the way i will trade any one of you young punks every nickle i have if i can have your youth. time is something you can not buy.

What sort of automobile can one pay $15 for? It must have been an old Packard from the junkyard.
 
Quote from clearinghouse:

I kind of resent the older Americans who consume mainstream media. There is no way anyone in this country should take anything seriously that comes out of any major media outlet. It's just spin on top of spin on top of spin. Being a trader helped me understand this because it felt like the financial news was always saying the wrong thing, and then skepticism of the financial news eventually spilled over into other things when I started seeing a lot of news sources as just shady.

The thing is, if you aren't paying attention, it's really easy to be lulled into the mainstream mold. It takes an effort to break free from the system, and a few cases of seeing where the system is just outright wrong before you can "see clearly."

Nowadays, I can't even watch TV without feeling like I'm in some sick alternative universe. I think non-Americans have it much better in this regard.

The American people are intransigently vapid and deluded. Most lack the desire to even contemplate a different viewpoint. Ignorance is excusable. Willful ignorance - over the past 40 fucking years - is not. Granted, the US propaganda machine is unrivaled in the civilized world, but what are we? Lobotomized retards shit-scared from venturing outside group-think??? I am making preparations to take care of my family and close friends. The wheels will fall off shortly, and America will go down like the Titanic. All of this was easily avoidable had the Boomers decided to put on their big boy pants, take a place at the adult table, and join the conversation. Instead, they condemned the next two generations to the asshole of history and burned the furniture to maintain their ultra-cushy lifestyle and multi-million dollar bennies. Well, they won't get their cake. All their paper promises and 401K's will go up in smoke shortly, and nationalized like Argentina. We're about 2 decades past the point of no return. Nothing short of sea change in opinion will right this listing ship, and tragically, Ron Paul only checks in at around 10%. So 5% of the Country is awake, the rest are done for. I am fucking livid, but I am powerless. I cannot save these drooling, fat morons from themselves. They wanted endless entitlements, wars and big pay checks, great, they're gonna get it, right up the ass, while they're the most vulnerable and dependent on it. The real tragedy is they brought the rest of us down with them.

I sold a 62 rambler station wagon for $35 and bought a 68 VW bug for $750, but that was when I was upwardly mobile.

Quote from DT-waw:


On the other hand, current times are the best for young generation:

- You can design Iphone game and earn a $ million in a year.
- travel all over the world
- fast and free access to all knowledge thanks to Internet and YouTube
- you can autotrade and make lots of $$$ without watching the charts 15 hrs/day
- amazing choice of cheap bitchez all over the planet
- buy cheap real estate in many locations and MUCH cheaper if you can wait 12-18 months from now

- start your own online, worldwide business

I'm sure Baron, the owner of ET will agree :D
he did the right thing at the right time.

Agree, the young have never had it so good.
