They’re really the *only* generation that got it. Before them, it wasn’t universal (pretty sure; I know the Silents didn’t all get it, but maybe GG was also universal). After them, it runs out before the entire generation dies.

Social Security goes bust in 2033, which is only 8 years from now. The youngest boomers (61 years old) are still a few years from their earliest opportunity to collect, and they can't wait for the maximum as it's already past the threshold. I'm really curious to see how this all shakes out when we finally hit that limit. Payments are on track to be cut to 75%.
Nah, they’ll keep everything and just octuple the currency supply again. Nothing is going to be cut.
I agree that they'll probably pull something like that. But while they can print infinite money, they can't infinity delay the consequences.
All that being said we shouldn't let the jews win by abandoning close family who are boomers. Many are too old to change their ways of thinking, there was heavy brainwashing they went through from childhood.
Many will soon need our help as their minds will start to fade and they lose agency. Always take care of family.
Family boomers I honor, it's the "boomer generation" and individuals like Kemmett who double down we mock as there needs to be public consensus on what went wrong.

Boomers DID have it easy. They didn’t have to go to school with packs of feral niggers. They didn’t have to fear being shot by niggers or spics. They didn’t have to worry about their jobs being outsourced or being replaced by hordes of mindless curry drones. They didn’t have to worry about being ethnically replaced in their own country… and here they are now supporting it.
We need remorse before contrition.

Boomers did have it a lot easier.
My parents for example (god blesses them). My dad was a landscaper/gardener, he made about 50k/year in today dollars. My mom was a housewife. They bought a plot of land in 2000 for 50k and built a house. That cost them 3-4 years of saving. Now that very same plot of land cost more than 1 million dollars. I make 100k/year and still there's no way I can afford that.

This selfish greedy materialistic asshole doesn't comprehend that his selling out of future generations caused a 300% inflation

Notice what happens. 1985 boomer have children or their children are very young.
1995 the children are teens so they are not driving the market and the value of currency with mass consumerism, usury debt, and conspicuous consumerism: it is their parents who are doing that with no regard for the future.
2005 a bunch of cheap labor enters the employment market for the first time. Meanwhile relative cost of items decreases as technology becomes more prevalent (demand raises slower than supply of manufactured goods, which drives down consumer cost).
2015 that cheap labor is very frugal and highly selective. They may have ubiquitous consumer electronics, but the value and utility of these are far higher relative to cost than they were as novel consumer goods which were not as advanced. If they have vehicles, which many eschew, they are not purchased new, while many use ridesharing, public transportation, or other forms of commuting such as electric or gas-assist bicycles. They have cellphones, computers, and the internet, so the reasons to utilize vehicles has diminished since they can get what they purchased delivered and can socialize any time of the day from the comforts of their tiny apartments.
2025 boomers have retired in the past decade and sold off everything they own to gluttonously indulge in frivolous entertainment, the most greedy by utilizing reverse mortgages. They only purchased the cheapest produced fad consumer goods imported from slave labor countries and followed every fad, exporting the supply of wealth to other countries instead of paying living wages for the current generation of the USA labor pool, and they demanded that illegal invasion which increases costs of living be increased so they could pay less for a taco and margaritas when they eat out on Taco Tuesday after eating out every other day of the week and still not wanting to pay a fare wage for the luxury.
They exported the money supply while selling off the housing to international conglomerates which hoard them as assets while flooding the country with a bunch of foreigners who either take all the unskilled labor jobs which would have gone to teenagers and college students to start their own adult livelihoods or are just parasites living off what taxes the millennial generation which are employed do pay, all while the invaders are bleeding the coffers dry of entitlement programs while increasing cost of living because both housing and consumables have had an exponential growth in demand while the supply has dropped even more exponentially.
Yes, it is all the fault of the boomers.

we acted like penny pinching jews because MUH SAVING will make it all better when we're disabled and gotta burn 7000$ on a non-negrified healthcare
God damn american boomers, the most spiritually jewish generation

Surely British boomers take the cake though. At least American boomers acknowledge sodomy is gross, open borders are an issue and darkies commit more crimes. British boomers will call the cops on you if you suggest any of the above. American boomers are ignorant followers of ZOG, British boomers are active enforcers.
Part of this mentality is that they don't understand relative costs.
Yes, their luxury items were expensive. They didn't have microwaves or VCRs. Boo hoo, because at the same time their housing, energy, and fuel was less than half what we pay, relatively. So this dingus is whining about not owning a computer while owning a house, which is completely out of reach for most Millenials.
I can build a perfectly servicable PC for $2000. That's two months rent. In the 80s, it would cost around the same, but that would be a years rent so, obviously, it's a bad idea to buy a computer, especially if you don't actually need it to get a job. Even if he understood that, do you think he would understand that being able to afford cheap "luxury" goods but not a house is worse than having a house without luxury goods?
No wonder they were so easily fooled

I agree 100% with you that inflation is something that needs to be considered, as well as the relative cost. College tuition, cars, healthcare, and housing are more expensive now than ever, and salaries have lost purchasing power every year, although you lost me with the $2,000 PC built that most people will never need, not the best example.

I think he was just showing how ridiculous it is with the PC as part of the example. 2Gs can build a ridiculous PC that will play most games very competently at 1080p 60fps, and even more depending on game, but you can build something for just basic bitch shit, and light occasional gaming $750-$1k no problem. There are very few places that you can still rent for said prices unless you’re talking about maybe renting one room somewhere, or renting a house with three to four other people.
Boomers have no idea how much higher their wages were compared to wages today and how much higher cost of living today is compared to when they were young
Minimum wage is $7.25 has not increased since 2009.
2008 it was 6.55
2007 5.85
1997 5.15
1996 4.75
1991 4.25
1990 3.80
1981 3.35
1980 3.10
1979 2.90
1978 2.65
1976 2.30
1975 2.10
1974 2.00
1968 1.60
1967 1.40
Their entire adult lives there was cost of living increases included to minimum wage which influenced wages and salaries of the entire workforce.
Meanwhile nearly my entire adult life there has been no increase in minimum wage - nearly 20 years now. Yet inflation has increased 300% while quality of goods has decreased in the same amount of time.

Minimum wage only helps people making minimum wage, everyone else gets deflationary effects.
Lower minimum wage for the Boomers meant that more places would hire them as cleaners or helpers and they could gain skill working, instead of fighting for $15/hr positions they weren't qualified for.

You are forgetting all the other factors such as cost of living increases due to supply and demand increases due to illegals and stagnant wages due to increase in labor pool due to illegals and this is still all the fault of boomers
Somewhat on the boomer side here. It reminds be of a discussion I was having with friends. They were talking about their young kid and how he’s about to move out. I mentioned that I never once lived on my own. Always had roommates or lived with a girl. Then one guy said “yeah, me either” with others also realizing this, and it was a realization that we didn’t really have it that great. I also worked multiple jobs until my mid 20s.
You're right, everything is fine and/or it's my fault that all the problems highlighted in this thread have materialized, even though I wasn't born yet when they were seeded, and I know this to be true because your friend's kid makes good money. It's crazy that people manage to blame boomers even though this one kid is moving out!
I'm really just turning the screw on the "exception to the rule" fallacy here. Your argument is not dissimilar to a liberal who thinks racism is le incorrect because they know that Darryl the gas station attendant is a decent man.

Toast message
I remember the first real Christmas present I got in 1984 - a transformer. My dad was able to finally buy us kids gifts for Christmas. He said something like he finally felt like we might not grow up poor.
Again - you guys think life sucks because 2016-2020 was so good. Go back in time and 2020-2024 wasn't that bad.
One other note: my dad told me he had been working in his engineer career for years before he felt comfortable buying a Diet Coke every lunch. He has been saving every penny until he finally felt like he could afford such a luxury.
Diet Coke. A luxury.
You're also delusional. I don't think the economy is bad now because "2016-2020 was so good". I think it's bad because it seemed comparatively good throughout my childhood, teens, and early 20s (so I'm talking 90s, 2000s, early 2010s). And sure you could say as a kid I didn't have a good grasp on the economy. But I grew up in a four bedroom house in the suburbs with a stay at home mom and a dad making slightly above the average American salary, and dozens of families in the same neighborhood in the same situation. We always had birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, parties, ate out periodically, went on vacations, etc. And when younger families would move into the neighborhood, with couples that were only maybe 10 years older than me, they were living that exact same life. But by the mid 2010s it wasn't really happening anymore. I skipped college, but many of my peers who went came back without good job prospects. The ones who did get "good" jobs could barely afford to move out. I was only able to afford to move out because I worked my ass off doing overtime and avoided spending money on anything. I saved for nearly 10 years hoping to be able to buy a house, but ended up ditching a quarter of my savings on a minimalist wedding. I could have easily spent half of my savings if I wanted the kind of wedding our families expected us to have. That was a few years ago and since then, inflation has gotten so bad and wages have been so stagnant that I haven't even been able to re-save that money. My savings have been stagnant for over 3 years. I have a son now and we still can't afford to buy a house, any house, even if my wife is working, because the cost of homes has gone up so much and the few affordable homes have 20 offers over asking that outbid us. I simply don't understand how you can be so blind as to not see how fucked the job market and cost of living is now.
Boomers think the food they are buying today are the same quality as their time. Not even close, it’s expensive to avoid the tainted goyslop.
At one point they were using brominated vegetable oil because of the government subsidies making it actually profitable rather than costing money to use just water.
Did boomers have to pay $5 every time they wanted to go to a park? Or a hiking trail? What about parking fees? Not that $5 is worth anything, I'm just illustrating that simply existing today costs money.
Gas was so cheap when boomers were in their prime that driving was practically free, hence cruising. There have been times I wasn't sure if I could make it into town the whole week because of how expensive gas is.
"We had one car" because it was legal for you to cram all your kids into a bench seat. We're only on our third kid and when we have another we'll literally have to buy a second car because every kid legally needs a car seat.
"We bought furniture from garage sales" yeah me too, except the used furniture I'm buying now is the same price new furniture was back then.
"Muh youngsters and their computers" a reliable computer is cheaper than a family's bi-weekly grocery bill these days.
And as you pointed out there are many, many non-monetary stresses today that boomers didn't experience. Literally every time I'm outside with my kids I need to be hyper-vigilant about the million retarded dog walkers or darkies we pass by. Did boomers need to focus like they were in mountain lion territory every time they were in town? No. Did they need to do a month worth of background checks and paperwork just to get a shitty apartment? No. Did grocery stores feel like prisons? No. Did they need to give up all their personal information just for the *chance* of getting hired at pointless jobs? Fuck no.
The (((data))) doesn’t show that.
And, food quality has absolutely nose dived over the decades. The good, unprocessed, fewer ingredient, naturally raised food, somehow costs much more than the poisonous goyslop. Decades prior, the good food was just called "food". Now, to get the good food we have to spend a lot more. So, if we want to eat actual food, so we're not poison ourselves, we're absolutely spending a lot more on food than what our ancestors did.
Only a thoroughly brainwashed individual, or a shill, would suggest that the poison sold in grocery stores and most restaurants could even be classified under the category of "food", while discussing food costs and completely ignoring how poisoned our food has become, while classifying all that poison under "food" to argue that food costs are cheap.
You all pretend life was perfect before the boomers wrecked it. It was never perfect, not even close.
Even though you are spending more of your paycheck as a percentage on groceries than you were 4 years ago (thanks biden) it was way worse in the 80s.
They used to ration gas in the 70s too.
Life sucked in the 80s compared to today. But none of you remember the bad stuff. You didn't live through it.
