Anonymous Coward User ID: 74728046 Brazil 04/20/2017 05:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'll sum up the reason the millenials are fucked up: Retirement is a Ponzi scheme that began in 1935 with President Franklin Roosevelt. Babi boomers who complain of millenials are the ones who took advantage of this scheme. That is, it is the generation that simply enslaved the other. |
Sassy Granny User ID: 70382294 United States 04/20/2017 05:45 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Sassy Granny The old homeplace that I bought from my siblings I rent out to a young man and his wife for $250/mo. They are good hard workers who- like you said above- are just getting started. The house is in good shape but they do all repairs if needed and they take good care of the place. Don't you dare lump all boomers in a greedy basket. We are not all alike. Thing is I could use the extra $200 I could get for the house but I made a choice to rent it to them and give them a break. They are wonderful hard working young people who need this chance.Once upon a time someone gave me a chance and I'm passing it on. Wish there were more like you. My great grandmother was that way (born-1919). She helped so many people. LOL I was born in the early 50's but that's the way I was raised. I've also discovered that what you "pay forward" will come back to you. These wonderful kids/young people help me just by taking care of the place. I don't have the money to hire someone to take care of it or fix leaks, etc. They were eager to accept all responsibility for that. They call me and let me know if there's a problem and what needs to be done then they do it. If it's a big expense we barter with the rent money. I would not do this for everyone. There are many that would take advantage and trash the place. These guys won't. So I'm blessed with responsible young folks being there. That's cool. My g-grandmother helped people by renting to nice but needy people much cheaper than the going rate. She was very intuitive about people. Apparently she rented to some older woman who was a widow for 30 years for some ridiculously low price and never went up on the rent- plus made sure it was kept up nicely for her. My other relatives are nice, but it's for their family, not "outsiders". Yea, it was a safer time back then too.

Old people were FORCED into paying into social programs liek medicare and social security, so your damned right we want our fkg money back! When you are forced to pay into it, you'll get it. -- Income tax is voluntary until you sign up for social security and also are surety for the national debt. The money you pay in is a gift to .gov for wtf ever they choose to spend it on. You are not entitled to a dime if congress wanted to cut it off tomorrow they could because it created no contractual rights. Gen y stop feeding the system let it collapse no shots needed. |

Quoting: The Pale Horse Let us see if the brown stained undies of your loud mouth, self entitled, coddled little snowflake asses can stand like a man, while still squatting to pee. You talk a big game, and demand the generations before you pay for you, give to you, and protect you. You wallow in your own self pity because your PS3 didn't fulfill your real world goals (as if you had any). And it certainly didn't turn you into a man. If you knew what a woman was, she couldn't even help you with that. The crusty sock in the corner does not count. When things don't go your way, or you don't get handed what you have boisterously demanded, you tie up your boy bun, slap on a goofy mask, and set dumpsters on fire and break windows. Maybe you even muster the nut sack to throw a rock at an elderly person. And you think this makes you tough? You stand on street corners, setting fire to the flag that represents countless REAL men who sacrificed all to give you the freedom to be something. They just didn't intend that something to be a Godless, self centered little transgendered cunt that resents those who handed them a chance. Either your father (who we will assume your never met) should have taken you behind the woodshed to teach you some respect, or your mother should have learned to swallow. Because as you are now, you are knocking on a door then when opened, will be much harsher. Your idiocy, if not corrected will put you deep into a hurt locker. Consider your place. Check you attitude. And muster those 2 brain cells you have left into something resembling a human before you get squashed like a bug. And have a nice day. THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!

BohemianExile User ID: 4255672 United States 04/20/2017 06:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | As a Millennial, I think a lot of the anger comes from the feeling of being lied to and betrayed by our political system and by extension our parents. Realizing that the government is hopelessly corrupt, that the cell phones everyone has are bugged in a real-time virtual map of your movements, storing all of your life's data, and running psychological profiling algorithms with designed "interventions," is pretty overwhelming. Then Boomers come along and say "just go get a job." lol... Ron Paul was the only person who came right out and told us the Truth. He spoke about the Federal Reserve and sound money. He told us about Liberty, Free Trade and the Power of the Purse. That's why we don't want to participate in this rigged system. We want to create a new one, maybe like BitCoin and Ethereum. At this point, it comes down to the survival of the fittest. It would be wonderful if the generations could band together behind sound money principles.
