If by "deal with" you mean "take everything worth having and close all the doors behind them" and "ruined the environment" then sure, you're right.

This. Being born and grow8ng up just after ww2 in Europe as no picnic.

To be honest, it's still accurate. But, at the foot of the boomers is a walled cot for the next generation, then a fully swaddled baby, then a fully swaddled baby in a walled cot, then a fully swaddled baby in a walled cot with a guard dog, then a fully swaddled baby in a walled cot with a guard dog and a guard cat, and on and on and on. Isn't that how it's supposed to be? Better for each generation?

It would be easier to cut them some slack if the next generation wasn't the first generation in something like 200 years to be worse off than the generation before it! I'm a teacher, make 83k a year, and yet somehow because of a f****d housing market due to social housing cuts and policy decisions made while I was a goddam child and compounded over time, I will never be able to own a home. How's that for f*****g hate culture?

Post-war prosperity? Yeah, sucks to be them.

Some people just have NO idea what they are talking about.

This is so absurd it got a nie chuckle out of me. You're funny!

well said, JimSteve

Hear, hear

Agreed!

Boomers just have to deal with ""Nuclear Armageddon", a near Depression, the Korean and Vietnamese fiascos, the distain of "Gen X", and now Trump. Yeah, we're wimps... suuurrrrreee.

We shouldn't hate them, but they also haven't had anything as bad as what was before them (obviously depending on the country)

Well, maybe they shouldn't blame the younger generations then? Especially for stuff they are at least partly responsible for?

Ooooh, living through that TERRIBLE economic booms of the 1950s and 1960s, sending only poor minorities to fight in Vietnam, all those social services that they bravely cut. Then there was the fact that they claim to be responsible for Civil Rights, even though only a tiny percent were even voting when that legislation was passed. Then of course, they fought against the draft and when the draft was cancelled and they didn't have to fight wars, they started voting for wars. So no, Boomers lived through some of the best times and paid the least for them.

And we, Millennials, had to deal with the Boomer-caused 9/11, Boomer-caused 2008 crisis, and COVID... which at least wasn't caused by Boomers, but was probably made worse by their refusal to wear masks and vaccinate ;)
