Millennials Blame Baby Boomers For Making Their Lives Worse | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 76377872 United States 04/30/2018 07:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.axios.com (secure)] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75460727 Beset by big college loans, inheriting two wars, and facing an uncertain future of work, a majority of millennials say baby boomers have made things worse for them — and a lot of boomers agree, according to a new Axios/SurveyMonkey poll. Why it matters: If it persists, the generational divide could turn into political rivalry as the generations compete for limited tax dollars — millennials seeking government help as automation takes hold, and boomers insisting on promised levels of Social Security and Medicare. 9 The poll found that 51% of millennials (18- to 34-year-olds) blame boomers (54- to 69-year-olds) for making things worse for their generation. Just 13% said boomers had improved things. Generation X wasn't pleased with the boomers, either. Boomers were split on the issue: 30% said policies created by their generation had made things worse, 32% said they had made things better, and 34% that they had done neither. No one is making these fucking idiots to get 60,000 dollar student loans for liberal arts or some equally ignorant degree.... They mother fuckers should learn a trade find a real job... |
Just Saying... User ID: 37514126 United States 04/30/2018 07:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | See, I tried telling and warning you fuckers, but you old fucks are too blind to see what is happening, but being Millennial that has 7 life-style brands that cater to the Millennials, and younger generations, I read their emails daily... Quoting: Just Saying... 68067469 We Millennials were the ones in Afghanistan and Iraq, fighting for the Baby Boomer wars [former infantry Marine], and those wars have and continue to open many eyes... Just look at the recent polls where Millennials do not support Democrats; we don’t support Republican, either, because we know that, including your false Messiah, Trump, are they’re all fucking scams... Pretty much, the only ones we’re concerned with are the Millennials and the younger generations—the rest of you old fucks can go to Hell—as we are the future that will straighten this bullshit out. You see, Oldies—we created a generation that hates your fucking guts—a generation that will not support or take care of you. We have disowned all society and it’s rules and standards; the reason we do not participate in this government and it’s culture. PS, fuck social security, too. Ummm NO.. In 2003 the average age of a foot soldier in Iraq & Afghanistan was 32, in 2011 it was 35. Millennials did not carry the burden of either conflict, that would Generation X that did. Hey, Tool—I'm 33 years of age! I graduated in 2004, and then enlisted.... 9-11 happened my sophomore, moron. Get educated. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58925551 The 1964 Civil Rights Act and 1965 Immigration Act ensured whites would be driven from the country. It wasn't baby boomers who did this. Nope. It was just the Boomer sheep who just quietly went along with it. And when it gets all pointed out to them, they arrogantly deny and play they conspiracy theorist card just like they were trained to. Did you live in the 1960's??? Do you know how life was or did you just read about it??? You say the Boomer Sheep. Do the math, most of the Boomers were not of voting age when the 1964/1965 Acts were passed. People saw inequality and racism with many riots in that period. The older Boomers would have marched and had protests against the Civil Rights and Immigration Acts, but their minds were swayed and turned by the Timothy Leary crowd (Tune in and Drop Out). They were mislead by the Hippy Socialism and Communism Agenda. Finally, their minds were drawn away in protesting the Vietnam Conflict. The Boomers are the first generation to be torn in many directions. The results were chaos and the adoption of the socialistic agenda. It was the Boomers who were fractured, manipulated, and mislead, by the system. They didn't go along with anything and were too antiestablishment to try to intervene and change the system politically. Instead they tried through Anarchy, which didn't work...

All they did was GO ALONG WITH THE FLOW and vote for the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. The DEMOCRATS were supposed to be the party that championed the working man and stood up to corruption, but they SOLD OUT TO the DEEP STATE for their own greed ( Hilary is the poster child for this). YOU MILLENIAL'S HAD BETTER PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR AXX AND STOP BLAMING YOUR PARENTS AND START BLAMING THE GLOBALISTS, WHO ARE ONLY INTERESTED IN SAVING THEIR WEALTH AND POSITION BY PROMOTING AN ANTI-WHITE NARRATIVE TO THE QUICKLY ADVANCING, RESOURCE LADEN, BROWN SKIN WORLD. THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON IN WASHINGTON THAT GIVES 2 SHITS ABOUT YOU AND THAT IS PRESIDENT TRUMP. HE IS TRYING TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE BY CATERING TO THE NEOCONS AND DEMONRATS WHILE TRYING TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE COMMON MAN. YOU AHOLE SJW'S THINK YOU ARE CUTE BY INSULTING TRUMP, THAT IS FINE BUT YOU HAD BETTER BE A RICH LIBERAL, BECAUSE EVERY LIBERAL THAT YOU ARE FOLLOWING IS RICH AND DOES NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PAYING BILLS LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO DO FOR THE NEXT 40 YEARS. BTW, YOUR HOPES OF GETTING FREE MONEY FROM THE GOVERNMENT AS A BASIC INCOME IS PURE DELUSION. |

It was AL GORE who promised to keep social security in a "lockbox." AL GORE that you hate and have badmouthed for years. AL GORE warned you that social security was on the ballot in 2000. It was GW Bush THAT YOU SUPPORTED AND VOTED FOR that tried to turn over social security to Wall St just before the 2008 collapse that he facilitated. You can't fool me, you fucking liar. Clinton put Soc Sec into the General Fund, replacing it with IOUs. That is how he created his "balanced budget" -- on the back of Soc Sec. ^^She's right^^ That is what prompted Gore to make SS and his famous "lockbox" a debate issue. Gore wanted social security to be secured and Bush wanted to turn it over to the wolves of Wall St. It's pretty simple. And if your SS got vaporized in some derivatives scam, then you were just shit out of luck and would have nothing. No, Social Security would have been privatized. The individual would have control over your own money in Social Security. It would be then similar to a 401K plan, where people could invest their money how they deemed fit... |

You are young but at least you are looking for the truth.; As time goes by SS was used to fund a great war machine under cover of SS. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76048846 I blamed boomers for a while, but realized those fuckers worked really hard and they were promised security as they aged. It's not them it's something else. I'm 40 so an Gen Xer. I disagree that the boomers worked heard. Yeah they had jobs but great paying jobs were plentiful and easy to come by with no college degree. The boomers did fuck up a lot and I agree with millennials on this one. |

scientia sit potentia User ID: 75408574 United States 04/30/2018 08:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | America came off the gold standard in 1971 when Boomers were entering adulthood and Boomers did nothing to restore sound money. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31058043 Boomers have demanded neverending war and neverending welfare for 50 years and put the debts off onto the heads of future generations and the unborn ever since. Boomers underpaid their taxes and overpromised money to themselves, thus the national debt and 100+% debt/GDP ratio. Boomers have led all sectors of the parasite government bureaucracy for 25 years. Boomers lead all education systems and universities in America and have destroyed real education. Boomers stood by and did nothing while American manufacturing and REAL jobs were dismantled and sent out of the country. Boomers keep reelecting human shit Isreal-firster Boomers like John McCain and Nancy Pelosi. So yes, the Millenials have a legitimate complaint. valid points scientia sit potentia |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 70422199 United States 04/30/2018 08:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Retired Boomer here. Yeppers we created the little ungrateful shits. Didn't want our kids to have to kill themselves working a blue-collar job like most of us did. We wanted our kids to have a better life than we had growing up. Education was the way out or so we thought. My kids never worked a grill or fryer making 1.35 an hour when they were 14. I now wonder how that was even legal? Busted my ass for those kids......would I do it again? Nope!! We had to figure it out and now my kids have to figure it out. Too bad they are 41 and 38. So while they piss and moan about how hard their life is, I am sitting here watching them with their own kids. Wonder what the poll will look like in 20 years. Anybody hazard a guess? |
