So... Some Here Wonder Why No One Cares The Boomers Are Having Their Golden Coffins Repo'd. Well... Heres why:

[Vastator]

1. Housing Market Locked Us Out - Boomers bought homes for dirt—$20K in the ‘70s, a joke adjusted for inflation. They choked supply with zoning crap and watched prices explode to $400K for a dump. We’re stuck renting or couch-surfing.
   Proof: Federal Reserve Economic Data - Home Prices
2. Debt Dumped on Our Backs - They got a debt-to-GDP ratio under 35% in the ‘60s, then ran it up past 120% by 2025 with tax cuts and pork. Boomers cash out; we’re stuck with the bill.
   Proof: U.S. Treasury - Historical Debt Outstanding
3. College Costs Blew Up - Boomers paid peanuts—$500 a year—with summer gigs. They gutted funding, let schools turn into loan sharks, and now we’re $100K in the hole for a degree that don’t pay.
   Proof: National Center for Education Statistics - Tuition Costs
4. Jobs Went From Gold to Garbage - They had factories and unions, then offshored ‘em in the ‘80s and ‘90s for cheap labor. Boomers got pensions; we’re stuck with gig apps—no benefits, no hope.
   Proof: Bureau of Labor Statistics - Manufacturing Employment
5. Social Security’s a Bust - They paid in chump change, took out fortunes, and left the fund on life support—projected to crater by 2035 without a fix. Boomers retire; we pay.
   Proof: Social Security Administration - Trust Fund Data
6. Healthcare’s a Racket - Boomers got cheap docs and meds. They let HMOs and Pharma jack prices—now it’s $500 for a pill and $10K deductibles. They’ve got Medicare; we’re screwed.
   Proof: KFF - Healthcare Costs Over Time
7. Wages Ain’t Moved - Productivity’s up 300% since the ‘70s, but wages? Stuck. Boomers skimmed the profits, CEOs cashed out, and we’re left with $7.25—half their buyin’ power.
   Proof: Economic Policy Institute - Wage Stagnation
8. Pensions Got Torched - They retired at 60 with cushy defined-benefit plans. Boomers swapped ‘em for 401(k)s, handed us the market crapshoot, and bailed. Work ‘til you die, kids. WHOOPS! Eat the market crash fuckin' parasites...
   Proof: Pension Rights Center - Shift to 401(k)
9. Wall Street Got a Free Pass - They deregulated banks, crashed it all in ‘08, and got bailed out. Boomers kept their cushy nests; we lost jobs and homes. Greed paid—for them. And they don't care as long as they die in a golden coffin someone else has to pay for...
   Proof: Federal Reserve - 2008 Financial Crisis
10. Rigged the Game, Kept the Prize - Boomers preached hard work, then tilted the table—tax breaks for the rich, corporate handouts. They’re set; we’re hustlin’ three jobs to eat. Ask any Zoomer who still has to live with their parents despite having a "good paying job"...
    Proof: Tax Policy Center - Tax Breaks Over Time

There ya go—ten nails in the coffin, each with a link to shove the truth up your ass. Boomers built their empire, then pulled the ladder up behind them. Argue that, I dare ya...

 

[Auld Phart]

My 'coffin' is bought and paid for.

 

[Moonglow]

Reagan was no boomer and neither was that fat Irish bastard Tip O'Neal who was speaker of the House.
The wimp Bush was no boomer; these people who began the high debt ratio fought in WWII and were born long before 1945.

 

[Moonglow]

They way to stay afloat is to learn more trades to increase yer income, if you were not born with a silver spoon in yer mouth like the Non-boomer Trump who had a large debt when he was president last time.

 

[mamooth]

And to think so many Boomers wonder why their kids have gone no-contact.

They blame "woke brainwashing". Self-introspection is not a boomer strong point.

My kids act no differently than I did.

Nobody said all boomers are evil. It's a thread about generalities. Don't take it personally. I'm a boomer, and I don't.

Awwwww....poor cultist.

I know many many 30 year olds that are already VERY successful.
I also know a lot that struggle, because they are idiots and have a poor work ethic.

So, get off your ass and quit complaining about Boomers.

So. No rebuttle..? Not to a single point..? I'm shocked...

I did not take it personally because kids act like their parents without them knowing.

 

[Vastator]

I did not take it personally because kids act like their parents without them knowing.

But without the market, advantages, and opportunities. But, yeah... Kinda...

My daughter and SIL are 30 and 31.
He is in the Military, and She is a mother of 2 with a Business of her own.

They own 2 houses.
They weren't locked out.

#3.......
Yes, College costs are high.
I used to work as in kid, then work summers when I started College in 1980. I'm a young Boomer.
I sent my daughter to Trade School....No College Debt.......ZERO.....Now she owns her own business.
Are you capable of starting your own business.
SIL has ZERO College Debt, ROTC

No one forced you or any other Gen XZ whatever, to be 100K in debt.

Yeah, yeah don't we "all know someone who has beaten the odds"... on this board, it always seems to be the poster, or their direct family. Copium...

#4..... There are plenty of jobs. Plenty of opportunities. Depends on how hard you want to work and how much you won't it. You want it...Go get it.

 

[Moonglow]

Life is what you make it, not what is delivered to yer doorstep.

A 30-40 year old, certainly doesn't have to 'beat the odds.'


I taught Public HS and MS, and know plenty of low-income kids and families, that found a way, their way, to reach there successful level.
Why can't you achieve this?

This isn't about me sweetheart, I'm doing fine despite the odds. This is about our nation's future. And the legacy left behind by shitty, self absorbed, in it for me, and fuck the next guy (even if he's my son) mentality boomers shamelessly project. Yeah ya. On a message board every boomer claims "their kids, beat the odds" or some other copium laced horseshit. But empirical data, and analysts say most of you are in denial, and full of shit. Take that however you want to...

Again... The denial, and Derangement. In true "leftist fashion " you cannot comprehend, someone advocating for someone they can't profit from... Christ... Your breed can't die off fast enough...
