>huffpost >next generation blaming the previous for their own problems
A tale as old as time.
Jace Morgan
Can confirm, none of the boomer gen or the gen just after them decided to save at all for their retirements. They just expect money to fall from the sky forever as long as they put in their 9-5 until they hit 60 and retire.
Michael Edwards
>soyboy millennials blaming boomers for their own failures. what a surprise.
Jacob Perez
This. I am currently doing manual labor at work here now and I’m fucking 20, screw millenials.
So you are telling me Boomers weren't born into a properous time and didn't proceed to outsource literally everything, create a massive debt bubble and force their children to pay for their retirement while at the same time increasing immigration so that they could have cheaper labor and have to pay less for everything?
They did none of those things you say?
Jordan Clark
>Always see boomers blaming the victim like a bunch of Jews >deny being sociopaths Kek
You can always analyze what is going on and blame it on shortcomings in older generations. That doesn't mean it's wrong, it's just useless because saying 'it's the boomers fault' doesn't change anything. It IS the boomers fault, but saying it won't help anyone.
Camden Wright
I'm a millennial and I did manual labor for 5 years in a liquor warehouse fag. Go pickup some beer kegs and some crates.
I agree there's too many fucking soyboys in our generation, although it started with Gen X to be fair, see all the Silicon Valley soyboys who are mostly Gen X.

Generation Z has no excuse. They've been exposed to technology their whole lives way more than Millennials. They have no excuse for not having adequate programming skills.
Owen Parker
Everyone was so prosperous after the second world war ended. jesus christ, what the fuck am I reading?
Ryan Lopez
Millennials are worse than the Boomers, but the the Millennials are the fucked up Frankenstein generation that the boomers created. It's like each generation echoes throughout the successive generations. It all started with the fucking boomers and that's why they're technically the worst human beings in modern history.

Brayden Wilson
Actually a lot of millenials work in warehouses (or even factories), mostly from Amazon as they are beating out places like Walmart for retail hiring right now. The ones who play games for a living are a very small minority, and probably 0.00001% become a Pewdiepie.
I work excavation/pools/sales while I put myself through school i have almost as many jobs as a Jamaican I work my ass off there's nothing wrong with hard work. On another note any "mentors" I have that own successful businesses and property all agree that the same opportunity they had to start young and build to what they have now doesn't exist due to regulations and general property value. Some that cost 40k in 1985 cost 1.5million where I live ( a borough of NYC ). It is what it is bitching and blaming old people won't change anything do what you have to do and seek greener pastures Veeky Forums
Carson Jackson
He's definitely not, working class millenials work in many warehouses. Typically Amazon, though. A lot of them have degrees so they usually get promoted to a manager after a year or two while their boomer coworkers are stuck doing manual labor since they never bothered to get a degree.
Nolan Butler
The only certainties in the life of a boomer are death and comps.
How fucking rich... social media-obsessed millennials calling Baby Boomers selfish and egotistical! A projection so completely retarded that the only possible origin is the fat feminists that comprise the entirety of HuffPo employees.
I know upper middle class kids with college degrees that are selling their bodies for money on the side because they don't make enough or because they can't find work. That's when you know things are fucked.
Xavier Torres
Gloves are for soy boys get leather hands like a real man
Jeremiah Gonzalez
>failing to save for your retirement. the jews want me to leave my money in bank account so they play with it, meanwhile i wageslave for them.
Technically yes, they do. Amazon is a soyboy company after all (see all the people who work at HR there). Yet despite that, they are successful. People said those degrees were useless yet I see them getting promoted just for having those gender studies bullshit degrees simply because it's a degree of some kind. That's all that matters to getting promoted at a place like Amazon.
Benjamin Russell
Look into this a little deeper than your high school textbooks, it's not a rosy as you may think.
Jackson Nguyen
Is that why most of these people are at over 40,000 in debt? I already fucked up my hands enough from lifting weights for three years without using gloves, no thank you.
Some of them are in debt, but the Amazon salaries are decent enough that it's not really an issue (as long as you aren't a wagie there). But the smart thing to do is take free handouts like GI Bills and go to college for free, then work in a place like Amazon which prioritizes hiring veterans. The GM at the warehouse I'm at got high up in the company that way, and makes about 100k a year.

fun fact. a lot of boomers go missing every year in places like the phillipines.

Don't forget they allowed feminism to become the cancer it is today
Manual labor can wreck your joints/tendons/body over time. "Hard work" in most cases is also unlikely to make you rich quickly, if at all. My guiding principle in life has always been to take it easy, and to find ways to get paid while doing as little as possible.
Not really, you're just pretty ignorant on the subject and have a very American-centric view of it all.
Juan Russell
You are trying to deflect because you have nothing. Please give me sources about how bad it was after WW2 and how the world economy was terrible.
You can't because the world economy post WW2 was one of the most prosperous in human history you mongoloid. You can just admit you were talking out of your ass. It's okay.
Isaac Ward
most people just work, pay taxes raise a family they dont make laws to screw younger people growing up

Seems like older generations all had a local watering hold bar or restaurant, but I'm basing this off TV shows so I don't know if that's accurate. Maybe that was just propaganda that caused the current generation to constantly eat out for social reasons. I don't understand it, it's not like you're chatting up the table next to you, so why not eat at home with your friends. You get better food and don't have to awkwardly time finishing your drink so you can get a refill at a few set points throughout the evening... I digress.
nigger I shop at Whole Foods every week for myself and I don't even spend that much a month on food
Charles Ramirez

All I see on boomerbook is them posting about their parties, vacations and fishing excursions every day. Millenials post about how poor they are and engage in pessimistic humor.

Funny how the Greatest Generation (those who were born between the World Wars) -- who literally fought & won WWII -- gave birth to the world-fucking Baby Boomers.
Elijah Bailey
You're missing the point asshole.
Ayden Myers
It's ironic because you would think that a generation of people that knew how hard it was to maintain the status quo wouldn't instill the same values in their kids. Nope. I relate to my 96 year old grandmother way more than my retarded boomer parents. She bitches about how irresponsible my mother was and I have to agree with her. She thinks that people today chase fairy tales rather than reality.

Mass media pushing a divide between millenials and boomers should tell you its all bullshit. Noth are complete slaves to jews anyways you retarded goys. Millennials don't even believe in gender or race and want to make pedophilia legal so take that as you will.
Why do people get Gen Z and Millenials mixed up so much? Millenials are hitting 30s soon.

Lincoln Gonzalez
This generation is just as shitty, just consider for a moment how fucked up the future will be just because today we're so arrogant to believe we can end world hunger or fight against progress in exchange for a more than dubious growth in sustainability.
We're compromising the future by trying to make sure nobody is left behind, pretty much like you compromise the potential of some kids in school if you focus on making sure the retards don't lag behind, Marxism is a disease.
