The young folks will do just fine, we were all young ourselves.

Ribka....I don't buy that for one goddam minute, every single boomer friend and acquaintance around here are all vets and are the strongest anti war voices in the community...not anti military...anti foreign war. And since you chose to spread this bs, it ain't the boomers taking the goddam fentanyl pills, and nobody I know believes Faux anymore....you sound like you hang out with Huffpost.

Half of the houses we Boomers lived in would be condemned today. The current crop of young certainly wouldn't buy them, or live in them. Of course, in all honesty, they are not given the opportunity to try.
As a "Boomer" I have it pretty good, in a way. I can afford stuff I never thought I would and I no longer have to deny myself too much. I should mention though, I'm ten years past what might be considered normal retirement age, and I'm still working.
I was on my own at 17, drafted at 19, married at twenty. a father at 23. Bought my first home (a single wide trailer) at 24. My first real house at 34.
I'm sad that young people today can't have the opportunity to live in some of the hovels we lived in. I'm serious when I say that; they can't have the opportunity. They literally cannot, and that is one of the real problems facing them. The other thing is that they don't have the job opportunities (they weren't great but they were productive jobs), and there are additional legions of bloodsuckers looking for a place to latch on when they do get the job. I was able to rent an old house with only 2 days of sawmill wages (one bedroom, one bathroom, wood heat, and the roof leaked). That just isn't possible today. Is that the fault of our generation? Not really, but there is a class of people to whom control and manipulation is their reason for being. They exist in every generation, and we've got our share. GD

I built my own house 7 years ago.... did everything except form and pour the foundation, the drywall and texturing... so yes it can still be done, young people have no skills nor work ethic.
They are mentally weak....

Brother fubar, that's as silly as saying all boomers are spoiled loudmouthed POS's that take for granted the country they inherited and frittered away but refuse to take ownership of that fact.

Nothing is hard and fast in such a sweeping statement, though the majority may fit it.

MF’s can’t count change either. 😂😂😂😂😂

The younger generation... the future leaders of our country scare the living schit out of me... they are the dumbest , most propagandized fools ever, they help me understand how Hitler came to power.....
The blame rest squarely on the universities and the government backing student loans and in the process indoctrinating genuine morons

A few good ones, but yes, for the most part they aren't too sharp. I have a feeling they will be in for a big reality check at some point.

Yes Calvin.... some are solid as they come, I feel the worst for them as they are outnumbered thousand to one...

Many of the younger generations at least question the need for endless wars, huge fiscal debts, and our rigged economy. At least they question authority unlike ignorant Neo conned neo lib boomers

Leftists couldn’t wait to sign a pro-Hamas petition.

You out of touch fool.... the young are all for socialism... they think it means free stuff...

I thought you were smarter than that. I don't think I'm entitled to anything, and I probably have more than you. That doesn't preclude me from speaking up for my peers that I see struggling. I've never seen you post anything as pompous as that reply. Look at the cost of living in relation to generations. The boomers had it easy and still do. When whole generations can maybe barely afford a house when boomers could do that on a single income (without a degree) raising a family then something is way off. The opportunities boomers had no longer exists, it is what it is but then they have the gall to rub it in our faces and then tell us we're at fault for everything and are lazy. Boomers are obsessed with what money they have and it's never enough. You want to talk about a sense of entitlement maybe you should look in the mirror. The reason boomers get so defensive is because they know it's true.
