  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

I don't blame old people, they lived the best of times, their lives were comfortable because they were in a boom. They had high hopes, had kids with a bright future in mind for them, but things change, some see it, others are oblivious to it.

I 100% blame them for pulling the ladder up behind them.

If the roles switched we'd probably do the same.

Yeah, no. Speak for yourself please.

I already have so much less opportunity than the average boomer, and I'm still not doing that. Because I'm not a piece of shit. It's really not difficult.

It's still fair to blame them. Old people blame young people for everything afterall.

My parents don't, well not completely. They know the world be screwed up, but they also think there's a degree of responsibility on my part too. We are all stuck in this shit show together, and old people thought they'd be dead long before it got really really bad, but Trump SA'd the money, and now we all get to suffer.

I'd keep friends and loved ones close.

it's not "things change" all the current mess was created by them in the decades after the time period of the op tweet

A lot of the world's problems are generally made by the greed of mankind in general.
