[QUOTE="MrLemon, post: 1259067, member: 2054"] As a boomer, I agree this is completely true. Whenever a boomer tells you how hard their lives were...throw a drink in their face. It's such bullshit. Sure we didn't have cell phones, but by every other measure, we were handed the sweetest deal by our hardworking WW2 parents. We proceeded to blow that sweetness, being the lazyest drug-taking hippy fucks in the history of the human race. Then we boobytrapped the entire US economy to make you millenials/xers into our personal slaves. We were given low cost, affordable housing. Intentionally kept low cost so we could buy. We proceeded to inflate those housing costs insanely, so that we could have massive capital gains profits to blow on our retirement, all paid for by you poor suckers who have to spend the next 30 years slaving to pay the huge payments. To us! We were given low cost, affordable high quality colleges. Intentionally kept low cost and high quality so we as middle class people could get an education with ZERO DEBT if we worked a few part time jobs. We have loaded those universities with masses of rent-seeking liberal administrators, and jacked the salaries of management 3X faster than inflation. So you kids will spend you whole lives in debt to pay for our pension plans. Every single measure the WW2 generation used to make the Amerian middle class affordable for the average citizen, we baby boomers have utterly corrupted to feed our desire to retire and go on fancy eco-cruises. While our granddaughters -- literally -- are forced to turn tricks on SeekingArrangments to pay their college loans back. The depth of depravity and immorality of the baby boomer generation will be written about in history books for a thousand years. Ok, well maybe 50 years. Let's not overdo it. but it's bad enough.
