[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of this hate for boomers.   I am at the border between boomer and genX.  (54 now).  I think you should read some history first.

Who fought for and obtained civil rights?  Boomers
Who was the first generation to recycle and force environmental awareness?  Boomers
Who identified Acid Rain?  Boomers

They were very socially active when they were young.  
They started working in the 60's and 70's, with the promise of pensions and lifetime employments.  In the 80's and later, poof.  Suddenly, they are in their 50's and starting over without the pensions they were promised.

I am young enough to have not lived in the era of lifetime employment.  I lived in a town full of IBM empoyees and watched these 50 yo's find out that there pension was gone and so were their jobs.

I remember when you could not eat the fish from rivers because they were too polluted.  Yes, global warming is an issue -- a big one.  But before the environmental movement, urban air was terrible, not unlike Bejing today.  And rivers literally caught on fire.

The hate is misplaced.  People will always grow more conservative as they grow older.  I have, in some ways.  I wonder why my property taxes will be up 20% this year (I know why:  my lot value is soaring).

The reason why we have trump as president is solely because Millenials stayed home or did not vote for Hillary.[/quote]

Not to mention she was a crook in many ways. Sorry you are still butt hurt from her LOSING. [/quote]
