[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't hate all boomers.  My parents are lovely people who have done everything for me and my sibling.  I also think as a whole that they did some great things with regard to civil rights, paving the way for women's equality, acceptance of the queer community, and abolishing the draft.

Just a segment of boomers have royally screwed over the economy, which has left us millennials in a pretty rough place in terms of the future.  Since the '70s, the income distribution has gotten more and more screwed up, due to terrible greed.  Under the boomer's watch, social security and medicare are under risk of becoming insolvent, pensions have disappeared for 401Ks, we've started two wars, the price of higher education has been jacked up, wages have become stagnant, housing prices have soared, and tax breaks have been given to the wealthy.  Also, some of the older boomers still have some of the negatives of the greatest generation--homophobia, racism, sexism and a bizarre desire to dictate women's sexual agency, and unproductive American jingoism.  I also think boomers tend to be materialistic.  Boomers can't seem to understand why owning a home is something to feel so ambivalent about, because of differences in the economy, and don't seem to grasp how powerful sharing resources and access can be.[/quote]

You can thank the Republicans for this.[/quote]
