Boomers will get theirs. Millennials are once again fucked.

All hail our billionaire overlords, please pay 50 cents to continue breathing the air.

They'll make sure the program sunsets as the last boomer takes their last breath

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

You realize we out number them, right?

Let's just vote for a 'Medicare pause' for 5 years, let nature sort itself out.

[-] Bonskreeskreeskree@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago

Only if the younger generations allow it, by rolling over.

Hasnt happened yet. I have not paid into something my whole life to have it taken away.

[-] Wes4Humanity@lemm.ee 1 points 3 days ago

You've been paying for boomers' retirement, there literally won't be enough young people to pay for ours unless rich people start having to actually pay into it too (on their whole wealth/income not just the measly limit we have now)

Back to work, you crusty bastards.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Fuck that, they'd make things worse, even as greeters at Walmart.

I hear they like warm weather, Somalia is warm and even has a nice coast.

Throw boomer Republicans out on the street. No money to put them in the old folks home and that's on them.

[-] Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago

I don't think you can put this one on the boomers. This is bigger than them

[-] droporain@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 5 days ago

Who ruined the job market so both gen x parents had to work and then raised the gen z grandkids to be just like them. Shit apple doesn't roll far from the shit tree.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I'm really tired of this narrative. If you look at the prior two elections, boomers only voted conservative by a slight majority, and younger people only voted liberal by a slight majority. The difference isn't stark. I'm a boomer, and me and my boomer friends are flaming liberals.

There is evidence already coming in that Trump did very well this time with younger people. Stop putting all the blame on boomers.

[-] droporain@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 5 days ago

Sure buddy you and your friends are cool. Lol I totally believe you. Greedy pigs are selfish, on the left or the right. Tell me again how many decades have boomers been voting, and running the country into the ground?

I’m seeing an uptick in accounts pushing anger and resentment at groups of people based on immutable attributes.

This is one of them.

... BECAUSE WE'RE ANGRY!!!

AND WE HAVE REALLY FUCKING GOOD REASONS!!!

"Hrm, seems like people seem upset right now, wonder why?"

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world -3 points 5 days ago

So you're so smart, and you're making these allegations - you tell me how boomers have voted differently than the prior and subsequent generations.

I know what neoliberalism is, but where does it suggest it applies to the majority of boomers?

[-] Wes4Humanity@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago

Okay boomer

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 13 points 5 days ago

Eh... Look at what Norway did with oil in the late 60s and try and think about what boomers could have done in the USA if they had decided to adopt a similar plan. Norway, a country of 5 millions, owns 1.5% of the stock market!

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 10 points 5 days ago

They didn't act alone but they created this mess.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

Gen Xers and Gen Z also wanted this.

[-] slickgoat@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Except it wasn't the boomers this time.
