I'll not take myself so serious as a boomer when the the rest of you continue to think ya got a handle on it all, & have had a long past record of experiences.
Oh wait, if ya had that, you might be a,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, BOOMER.
For the record, experience trumps education(being told things) or a simple opinion every time.
LRoy...there is a seldom mentioned generation between the "Greatest" and the "Boomer" gens. Called the "Silent" or "Traditional" generation, mentioned by the egg head sociology wonks ... between 1928 and 1946...where do these knuckleheads fit in the blame game scale? The Boomer Scale needs to be published, clearly, unambiguously and in a timely fashion. Hurry, those of us in the Silent generation need to know, the death clock is ticking.

Education is defined these days as indoctrination.
Made it with a year to spare but to my defense I had no say when I got shot down the skin cannon. There’s days in these times that I wished I wasn’t the fast swimmer.
Don't you wish you were able to get where we are? Never gonna happen, and nobody will miss you when you croak in your 50s.
You are gonna fall down and be eaten by stray dogs in your mountain of trash and junk.
Terrible jealous here...
If a man be known by the size and sheer tonnage of his 'junk' pile ( I prefer the term metal recyclables) then truly, I am a man among men. There is no mechanical dilemma which cannot be overcome by a mountain of recyclables, a welder and a cutting torch. With dismay I observe the succeeding generations do not share this philosophy.

Boomers who worked all their lives are not to blame. The hippie liberal fuchhhs are the problem. We couldn’t out vote them and you probably won’t outvote the welfare rats. I’m still trying but it might be a wasted effort. Whiners remind me of the southern people whining about the north. The north isn’t the problem it’s the lib asssses that are the problem. Edk

Lyndon Baines Johnson???
I thought he was the one to blame for this Nation's ills.
He certainly did more harm than good !
Gee, ya' think?
You've checked out the "Trumps VP Pick" thread? seen how many folks think it doesn't matter who the VP is because after all, they don't do much and just get assigned scheidt the Prez doesn't have time for and maybe they decide a vote every now and then in Congress.
Those folks might want to look back at the Johnson administration.
Relax, lighten up, don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does. You don't have much time left, enjoy what you do have.
Just that.....
Absolutely. I don't take myself seriously, so even less reason to take you seriously.
Well, other than the fact that building up inter-generational animosity is very much playing into the hands of those that really desire a populace as fractured as possible. So to do so, even humorously, is at the very least acting as a useful idiot. I did at one time, but then cottoned on to what was happening.

Are these generational traits hard and fast? I am very close to straddling two generations, so I need to know how I am supposed to think and behave. Can I be flexible in my thought and behavior, or is it hard wired into me?
I was born in 1958. It always felt like the party was just over as I was growing up. In retrospect, I was on the crest of the wave.
I'm now 65. I have no clue what being a "Boomer" means, and I really feel lumped in with a lot of folks who were into things I wasn't. I resented being packed into overstuffed classrooms. I resented the whole world seemed to be turning for people about 10 years older than me. I resented coming out of high school and paying the bills for the debts they ran up.
What I will say is "Boomer" seems to be a way a GenX, GenY or GenZ turd can narcissistically minimize their lack of world experience while puffing up their own worth.
Back when I was in my mid-30s, the frozen cheeseburger factory hired a new guy who was in his early 20s. He was supposedly some hot new database wiz. This was the first time, I'd ever faced being dismissed as old news. The problem was they were paying me gobs and paying him next to nothing. He spent every moment of face time knocking me to my face or knocking me in front of the boss. I was doing a good job. I was getting decent raises. This went on for about 6 months, and at the first opportunity, I got laid off with a decent severance. The Boy Wonder lasted 2 weeks with my job to take over. He folded under the stress and walked out. About halfway through my unemployment, they called me back in to fix some major SNAFU in the code he'd written. I went back and worked a half-day for free-- I was getting paid already by the state. He ended up being a long line of younger men that tried that sort of thing. They were usually my cue to pack up and leave for more money somewhere else.
I spent 40+ years in IT. I learned on the shoulders of giants. From my second job out of college, it has taken 2-3 people to do the job I was doing after I leave. The same is true of my wife, who spent 25 years at a local hospital as a secretary and office manager. Our parents were the "Greatest Generation." We came of age in a glut of humanity and had to work faster, better, cheaper to compete with the horde all around us.
Boomer? Yeah, go ahead and call me one. What you don't understand is that I've seen you coming. I'm already sizing you up for how you'll fit on a spit. Telling you to stay off my lawn is a warning for your own good, not mine.

The only difference is we had to earn our entitlement…
This. And I don't even collect SS.
yes....I don't collect ...yet....bob
I can but choose not to until I am forced at age 70...
Get that money while you can. We have paid into it our entire lives. I want my chit back. Unfortunately, I probably will never see a dime because by the time Im there in age, there wont be anything to collect lol

I will start collecting this year and the fact I waited until forced to do so, it amounts to over one thousand more dollars/month. Either way I'm screwed because I still work, pay into SS AND FORCED to pay and use Medicare (even though I was promised FREE healthcare for life when I joined the Navy) and at a premium. I can't hide any more money in a 401 or my wife's IRA so I'll have to pay even more taxes, you know to pay for all the Gen Zers and millenials on welfare..

I believe I would stay away from soy drinks. An older man we attended church with started drinking that stuff. His butt got wider and he grew tits. Soy is rich in phytoestrogen.
Of course, if you wish a smaller set and less erections soy may be the answer.

You can think so if you want, but I figure you're an older Millennial, and (IMHO) except for sounding a bit more biting than you realize when going for humor, you're an exemplary man. So no inter-generational stereotypical bigotry from me. The you you're doing is enviable.

I need to trade in my 11 Pro Max for a 15 of similar configuration this year. I do a bit of mobile gaming, and with graphics the way they are, a new iPad Pro would be an excellent addition to the three I already have.
I'd love a C8 Z06, but probably for only about a couple months a year, and my gravel drive would just tear it up. So better to get my "dream" vehicle, a 20+ year old 3/4 ton 4x4 pickup with a manual transmission.
If any X'ers, Millennials or Zoomers want to throw a few bucks my way to obtain the above, let me know, and I'll start a gofundme.

Easy to spot,,,, it ain't never me or my fault. Again, very easy to spot as I'm married to female like that. Never her fault.
Or could it be the fact that the previous generation has never admitted to the various things they could have done better?
Maybe even use the opportunity to help keep the upcoming generations from making the same mistakes thereby making the world a better place for their grandchildren?

Speak for yourself or for the folks that raised you.
My daughters can both drive a vehicle with a manual trans, shoot guns proficiently, & are raising there own kids,. One is a manager in a large investment firm making bank that I can hardly fathom. The other is a supervisor in the crime analyses dept. of a large southern city's sheriffs dept.
Cross your fingers & hope your kids follow the things you're teaching them. Mine are following a pretty good path that I think I helped lay for them. They bring that up at times.

It ain't the name, but the accusations. But Karens gotta blame somebody & the picked another age group for their own groups failures & deficiencies'.
Easy to spot,,,, it ain't never me or my fault. Again, very easy to spot as I'm married to female like that. Never her fault.
Or could it be the fact that the previous generation has never admitted to the various things they could have done better?
Maybe even use the opportunity to help keep the upcoming generations from making the same mistakes thereby making the world a better place for their grandchildren?
Maybe?
Speak for yourself or for the folks that raised you.
My daughters can both drive a vehicle with a manual trans, shoot guns proficiently, & are raising there own kids,. One is a manager in a large investment firm making bank that I can hardly fathom. The other is a supervisor in the crime analyses dept. of a large southern city's sheriffs dept.
Cross your fingers & hope your kids follow the things you're teaching them. Mine are following a pretty good path that I think I helped lay for them. They bring that up at times.

Maybe it's the realization that America started to crumble under their watch.
That may be true, but it has gotten worse with each subsequent pro-nouned generation. They bitch but have made it even worse. No one could predict the mess we have now and boomers aren’t the reason…

you know some years back some of these television shows like Oprah and a dozen different other talk shows was full of episodes of the kids blaming all their problems on the parents.
I guess we've just all got 20 years older. same [bleep] different years.
Boy, "boomers" sure live rent-free in the heads of a lot of people on this board...the level of jealousy here is astounding. LOL
Each generation creates its own identity through music, clothes, tattoos (That one's going to come back to haunt you in twenty years).
Go out and create a future of your own...we did.
its always easier to blame someone else for your failures/laziness than to look in the mirror, the new oh whoa is me crowd is strong here.
myself I don't go for the labels on different age groups. you either work hard or not......bob
You so sensitive!
That surprises me.
You guys have taken the Sensitive Crown back from the Millenials.
lol.....I am alot of things being sensitive is not one of them. talk about sensitive, which part of my post did you take exception to? the either work hard or not?.....don't take it personal Jim, it wasn't directed at you...bob
These threads always crack me up because the one thing a person has zero control over is when they are born. Or where.
agreed, that's why I said that I don't go for labels....you either make your way or not....bob
Why did make your way include a retirement age of 62 and a payout at least double what was payed in?
When the age gets voted down to 55 we don't want to hear any bitching.
Who you talking to, I won't retire until I'm 67 at a minimum and I guarantee I won't get back what I've paid in.
And I'm not counting on it anyway, one very valid criticism of "boomers" and the AARP is, it's a big lobby of people who for the most part are well off but want free everything. F*ck a bunch of entitlements.

Boomers never missed an opportunity to bag on the younger generations.
Boy they sure can't take it in return.
It boils down respect for alot of them. They seem to think that respect is based on waking up another day, instead of how they lived the day before. Using that logic, where does that put JFB?

Bitter? No. Not even after I received my "Leg Up" after 20 years of "in lieu of" and paying lots and lots of interest.

We should be putting his face on the Statue of Liberty. That's where he should be put.
If we all put more effort on earning the respect instead of demanding the respect....we would be better off.
Boomers managed to kill most everything in the world....multiple times over..... with a Leupold. Some even did so with a Weaver or Redfield. Today?????
I only responded to this thread, as its mind boggling that there is at least one thread per week (10-12 pages each) about THOSE boomers...it's amusing, to a point.
I'll be 69 this Sept.. I retired at 62, and have yet to sign up for SS. I can pay my own way, thank you, very much!
And, I wouldn't take a membership with AARP even if it were free.

Extremely grateful and generous? Yes.
You should start drawing.
I just like to bust balls.
you just did what you make the" boomers" do. you throw sh'it at them and make them defend themselves...if you are gonna be a ball buster......you could become the bustee...ha .....I knew that "leg up" would work.....start drawing!.......have a good one....bob

Take what? It is true, boomers were given a great America to mess up, and to a certain extent, did. Sex, drugs and Rock and Roll were at least defineable.
Drugs were hallucinogens, hardly fatal, sex was with a boy and a girl and rock and roll had lyrics you could understand and a tune you could hum.
Look at what the later wizards have done and get back to me…

At 37 Zillion in debt we will be lucky to afford a hand job....from ourselves.
Just thinking... if boomers are stupid, lazy, selfish and the cause of America's decline well then who is responsible for bringing up that generation of stupid, lazy and selfish kids??? And who would be responsible for the generation we have right now that doesn't even know if they're a boy or a girl...huh???
Order should be obvious. The Millennials didn't raise the Boomers.
So then the greatest generation is truly at fault for raising fat, stupid and lazy boomers? Who did the millennials raise? Did they turn the country around and get things back on track? If so tell me how and if not why not? Four questions I just keep pondering...I'd like to hear your take.
Something has to give on SS and other entitlements.
I'll take 1/5 of what I've put in, in a lump sum. The .gov can have the rest and I'll never take a cent from it.
They have to do something. I suspect means testing shortly.
No way id take 1/5. I want all of my money back that Ive paid into a broken system. They stole it from me and its mine to get back. Wont ever happen, but dont give them one red cent. They dont deserve it

Every generation gets worse. Hippie bullchit is what started all the degeneracy in this country and we have never recovered from it. This problem will be fixed in the near future. Hard times are coming, really hard. Will weed out the chitbags

Millenials call that free health insurance.
I mean we are giving billions upon billions to the nazis in ukraine, paying off student loans and giving illegals cash out the ass. Funny how we can do that, but we keep being told SS is broke and will not be there much longer. I want my SS money back!
First, I'm not blaming any individual or group. I think the real problem start in the sixties when it became necessary for both spouse to work to maintain the household, and, hence, the children became "wards" of the "state" by default. Now, after 2-3 generations of kids being "educated" by the state, look what they have produced. Until (may never happen) we can get back to the one income household nothing will change.
i would rather be a Uketard than a dumbass Russkie who thinks he will win. besides, i'm 4th generation Polish, so it may well be a piece of Ukrainian in there.

Al Gore <when campaigning to seniors>: "I'm going to keep your SS in a lock box"
My point is that the Democrats have been using SS as an election tool, scare tactic for decades. I suppose they manipulate the accounting to where they claim SS funding will be depleted by 2033, etc.
A vote for Democrats will ensure that SS funding will continue.
Dems also effectively use SS to play the younger against the older. It's working apparently reading this thread. Suckers.
https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/statcomps/eedata_sc/2005/intro.html#:~:text=Under%20Social%20Security%2C%20the%20tax,for%20both%20employees%20and%20employers.(just found out this doesn't work)
12.4% a year paid in for an average of 45 years for working folks. Had that money been managed instead of paying it out to people that didn't work there'd be plenty. Just think of all that money that could have been drawing compounding interest. It was abused, but if it wasn't it would still be given away to other countries.
And, I'd forgotten about me & my employer on my behalf paying in to Medicare. That could have been OK as well, but I'm still paying into that. "Our" government gonna bleed us, mishandle & borrow more no matter the party or what gen voted them in. If blame has to be inflicted there is but one group that it lies on. DIRTY ASSED GREEDY POLITITIANS. Sonsabitches go in with 10 maybe a 100 grand in the bank & in a few years they're multimillionaires. But yeah, hate on SS recipients instead.
What was that commercial that had the quote; some folks just don't get it. Blame is their only ammo & they don't aim too good sometimes.

I agree with your post, but only quoted the line above to remind everyone of a moment of honesty from Alan Greenspan, when being grilled about the viability of SS.
I will paraphrase.
"I can absolutely guarantee the continuation of the payments. What I cannot guarantee is the PURCHASING POWER of those payments".
In other words, we will continue to expand the currency supply by monetizing debt, thereby debasing the value of the currency. We will have lots of currency, but very little purchasing power with each unit of currency.
You know....I used to think that it should be legalized.
I have changed my thinking yet again.
The kids and young people today are coming up against a mental health apocalypse.
I believe we have seen some very negative impacts on these kids with the increased availability of pot.
Vape pens, pot and the isolation and loneliness of social media....it's gonna get way worse.
Increased availability ? You could buy it in the bathrooms and hallways every day when I was in school. It couldn't have been any more available.
Dang! I saw the crap just one time in high school. We were country kids. We chased the girls, worked on hot rods, caught catfish, and did some fighting. Didn’t have any time or interest on the junk.

I went to school in a small town in upstate NY 35 miles from a city of 50,000. Kids drove pickups to school with rifles/shotguns in the back window and hunted on the way home. We were allowed to bring our .22's to school and shoot them on the basement range after school let out. Buck 110's were carried in plain sight on the belts of many. There weren't any fuggin hippies around and if there were any phags they were smart enough to stay in the closet.
Ain't our government wonderful? Thirty years ago they spend billions, of our dollars, to get people to stop smoking, and, destroy the agricultural tobacco industry. Now, every state legalizes pot...to increase the rate of lung cancer so they can institute national socialized healthcare.

Relax, lighten up, don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does. You don't have much time left, enjoy what you do have.
Just that.....
They haven't taken much seriously, besides ruining what was handed over to them.
Ha ha ha you puzzy. What a slime ball. Too funny! Handed to us? What was that? The Vietnam war? Hard work? Voting against leftist scum? Ruining what was handed over to us? What was that? The only thing that was ever given to me was a 1967 Ford truck. What has happened is you azzwipes haven't done your jobs keeping the country in good shape. You pieces of schit have been voting dumrat and blaming us for your fckups! Ha ha ha eat schit and die. You are fumbling the country and blaming it on us, what idiots. I can't tell you what true low lifes you are. You already know. Hope your puzzy hurts.

Where did you learn that Cheech? Drug school?
I've learned much from the retail outlet the wife buys from. Actual brick & mortar store in Tenn. Funny thing is it's illegal in Tenn but legal in Virginia. In Virginia one must have a card to purchase[ain't doing that] but not in Tenn.
It was explained to us that there is a loophole in Tennessee's law that was found a couple of years back.

We would have lost WW2 if the basement dwelling losers of today had to be deployed then. I believe that with every fiber of my being.
May agree with that, but answer this; who raised the "losers"?
Obviously your parents raised one.
Yup, my brother Earl.......moved to New Yawk to be around his kind, makes him feel smart. Say Hi if you see him, can't be far.
Yeah I know him. He says you're the most limp wristed, dick happy phag he's ever seen and the embarassment of having you for a brother is why he had to move away.

So in closing its apparent that Boomers are the most privileged generation alive they've caused the most damage and they think they are victims of unfair insult and ridicule. Great convo thx
I’m 3 years too young to be a boomer, but id damn sure rather be around a boomer than a millennial. I learned how to work from a boomer. Work hard play later unlike the millennials play hard someone else willpower for it. So dont see how a boomer was privileged
I'm a boomer, I inherited a good bit of land. Young folks and realtors say my asking price is way too high. I remind them that the huge amount of inflation we're experiencing- $$$ are worth much less these days. That's why my sales price is so high. I've explained to the millennial aged folks that they should pay my high asking price and someday they'll be able to likely break-even on reselling this land. They say- no way- I should be able to sell it in 20 years and expect a little profit. I tell them I'm making all the profit because 'I' inherited the land. Damn Gen.X/millennial/Gen.Z needs to stop whining
When you get right down to it the voters and their representatives from about 1900 through the 1940s are the ones that ruined the country financially and got the debt to rolling. We haven't paid the interest on WW1 which was financed by the Federal Reserve, a private banking corporation. They financed the 'Roaring Twenties' stock market bubble and then pulled the rug out from under the U.S. They made off with all the ownership of government and privately owned gold. To finish us up they steered the U.S. into WW2 which just as is the case with WW1 we have never paid even the interest on.
When in the early 1960s a U.S. president mentioned opening up the Federal Reserve to an audit he ended up shot by a sniper. His successor LBJ went whole hog on the military adventure of Vietnam all on Federal reserve credit and ever since the credit card just keeps getting rolled over and politicians of all parties just raise the debt to the point the situation is hopeless and will never be paid.
Anyway the situation was way out of hand and unsolvable by 1967 when the first "boomers" came up to bat. They can be blamed for the current state of affairs in that they did nothing to stop what the Greatest generations got going over 100 years ago. But the country was already in a stranglehold by the time the boomers came of age. To the boomers credit they forced the government to quit the Vietnam war, but none of us were willing to eat beans, stay home and do whatever it took to get the federal reserve out of our lives.
They gave us a credit card and the greatest generation, the boomers, and all subsequent have happily used our line of credit.

FWIW, I'm far from being a Millennial. (think about that)
Ha ha ha you puzzy. What a slime ball. Too funny! Handed to us? What was that? The Vietnam war? Hard work? Voting against leftist scum? Ruining what was handed over to us? What was that? The only thing that was ever given to me was a 1967 Ford truck. What has happened is you azzwipes haven't done your jobs keeping the country in good shape. You pieces of schit have been voting dumrat and blaming us for your fckups! Ha ha ha eat schit and die. You are fumbling the country and blaming it on us, what idiots. I can't tell you what true low lifes you are. You already know. Hope your puzzy hurts.

So your not a millennial? How is that relevant? Are you still campaigning suck?
I’ve come to see old people as one of the most selfish and entitled segments of our population. There are exceptions, but overall, many of them strike me as narcissistic and self-centered and dense. The only thing that really matters to them, is them. They’d sell their children, and their grandchildren, and the country that we all live in, if it meant that they could get an increase in their monthly social security check.
They think nothing of spending many thousands of dollars of other people’s money at the drop of a hat by riding an ambulance to the ER simply because they’re older than dirt and they don’t feel as good as they did when they were younger. I see it everyday: chief complaint is “weakness” and their age is 86 (or older).
Boomers rule, look at all the butt hurt from the next generations. The rest need to move on from their own desperation! It's not a boomers job to do it for them! How I see it!
You and a couple of other posters attacked me for my posts or questions. Incorrectly assuming that I was one and defending or approved of their lifestyle and choice.

So serious question, I started working at 14 years old for $1.65 an hour and retired after 50 years of hard work and a somewhat worn down body. I didn't choose to pay into Social Security they just automatically started taking it and during my last 20 I was paying into a 401k. Now I collect a retirement check. If I had to guess I would say the majority of boomers did the same. So what is your problem?

You get way more than you paid.
So shut up.
First of all I didn't make the rules and second of all they have had my money for up to 50 years, that's plenty of time for their investments to cover my retirement checks. Not to mention what about the poor bastards that paid in and died before they could start collecting or shortly there after.

What about us poor bastards that are paying in and won't see a cent no matter how long we live?
We would have lost WW2 if the basement dwelling losers of today had to be deployed then. I believe that with every fiber of my being.
May agree with that, but answer this; who raised the "losers"?
Well, that is certainly a valid point, Boomers did raise a bunch of losers...
And the losers raised the millennials ?
Reading comprehension failure alert...you must not be a Boomer
Guess I need help then. The millennials didn't have parents? Who raised them?
Each generation is a reflection ( product) of the previous one, no? Is the current generation not responsible for raising,educating the next.?
So if what you say is true then I'll ask you again like I did yesterday. If the boomers are a generation of loosers and takers then who is responsible for bringing them up with those values?

Then your problem is with the government... not sure how much you guys think a Social Security check is but after paying into it for 30 years mine is about $900 a month. My 89 year old mom who passed away 3 years ago was living on a $650 ss check.

There is a serious flaw in your argument. They have not had your money for 50 years. That money was paid out to the previous generation (your parents). The money wasn't invested for the most part, it was paid out as per the original plan where each succeeding generation pays the elderly.
The biggest flaws in the system was that it didn't take into account the big jump in life expectancy, or the fact that the boomers (that's me) would not have near enough children to keep the system going. Another huge issue is that almost all municipal, county, and state employees are not paying in, nor are the railroad employees. And when a persons income goes over a certain level the rest is not subject to a SS tax.
And I personally know millionaires that collect maximum payments. There is no means test.

I just now took a look at a U.S. News and World Report article from January 10, 2024 that states that any income over $168,600 is not taxable for social security. So by exempting almost all local, municipal, and state employees and not taxing the high salaried income earners there is a bunch of money not available to shore up the system.
I don't blame the young folks for being sore about paying into a system that is on the edge of collapse.

How's this for a discussion point?:
The average Social Security payment is $1,666.49/month before income tax. That's $19,998/year that they paid in years ago.
The average family has ~2kids and receives tax breaks in the form of deductions and credits of $9,910/child, or $19,820, on the back of the system.

Tell me again about young folks being sore...
I think you had better check on those child tax credit numbers per child.....
[quote=Hastings]Tell me again about young folks being sore...
Why should they not be sore. I'm 71,I have 3 adult children that had nothing to do with this contract they are in. They are sending our generation including you a payment every month in a system that at best will be drastically curtailed when they reach retirement age. They realize it's a Ponzi scheme and when they get enough political clout they will cancel the contract.
I don't blame them one bit for not liking the system.

.Gov musta did some changes we got 2 kids and didn’t hardly get schit back this yr
A ridiculously low retirement age and constant increases in the payout.
I suspect the govt forced that on us?
A lot of folks bodies are plumb wore out by the time they reach full retirement age. Particularly the ones who did physical labor all their lives. Of course you probably don't have to worry too much about that, seeing as how people as overweight as you tend not to live that long. Particularly ones with a drinking problem.

That's all based on income and how many kids you have. I know people who make 30k a year and get 10k back in earned income credit at tax time. Which is like 3-4 times more than they ever paid in.

It's simple math. The return on your investment of what one puts into SS, is way under the average had one put the same amount into even Bonds, not to mention a 401K/
Sorry Jim but you kind of remind me of some Indian buddies of mine. One day they started giving me crap about gov payments to farmers. I looked them in the eyes and said. So you guys are giving me Schitt about government freebies. Really? Have a nice day and yes I will continue to take my well deserved SS check.

There was a thread here about 5-6 years ago- a California resident address that ?$350K-$450? per year went through that one address. Hispanics claiming dependents back in Mehico- 'I got fourteen youngins down there'. Get back $20-30K every year which doubles their grass-mowing income. The IRS is still sending big bucks to that address every year.

Values lol that's funny. But since you asked it's their parents that spoiled them and gave them all they could. That set the mentality of everyone caters to them and it's still true. Nice attempt at bait thinking no one would go after the "greatest generation" they won WW2 sure, but they gave us the generation of greedy whiners we have now in the boomers.
What boomers did to succeed back in the day wasn't hard, that same strategy and work would leave you homeless these days.

So you guys are giving me Schitt about government freebies. Really? Have a nice day and yes I will continue to take my well deserved SS check. If the feds had not stolen money from the fund it would be solvent. Edk
Have you seen anything of this thread yet?
Go back to the first post.
Who's entitlements and welfare should we cut then?
Certainly not ours.
The single mother's food stamps?
How about starting ewith Ukraine, Israel and illegal immigrants entitlements.
This might be something we could all agree on...
No no....we have to destroy Russia...and we wouldn't want to jeopardize stock dividends.
Unfugking believable the number of supposed Conservatives that will every damn time vote to mortgage our grandkids’ and great grandkids’ futures. All in the name of defeating the boogeyman that the MSM (all owned by the same folks) tell you to be very,very afraid of.

We would have lost WW2 if the basement dwelling losers of today had to be deployed then. I believe that with every fiber of my being.
May agree with that, but answer this; who raised the "losers"?
Well, that is certainly a valid point, Boomers did raise a bunch of losers...
And the losers raised the millennials ?
Reading comprehension failure alert...you must not be a Boomer
Guess I need help then. The millennials didn't have parents? Who raised them?
Each generation is a reflection ( product) of the previous one, no? Is the current generation not responsible for raising,educating the next.?
So if what you say is true then I'll ask you again like I did yesterday. If the boomers are a generation of loosers and takers then who is responsible for bringing them up with those values?
Values lol that's funny. But since you asked it's their parents that spoiled them and gave them all they could. That set the mentality of everyone caters to them and it's still true. Nice attempt at bait thinking no one would go after the "greatest generation" they won WW2 sure, but they gave us the generation of greedy whiners we have now in the boomers.
What boomers did to succeed back in the day wasn't hard, that same strategy and work would leave you homeless these days. Y'all had everything handed to you and instead of doing the same for the next gen you said eff them. All patting each other on the back saying how tough you had it. BTW it's still boomers calling the shots in Congress, that's your legacy. Trying to blame it on the generation(s) you raised is a cop out. And you wonder why your kids don't call or visit. Shameful.
Wasn't trying to bait, just trying to see if Jetson would follow his own line of logic. Don't agree with everything you said but at least you had balls enough to answer.

Boomers rule, look at all the butt hurt from the next generations. The rest need to move on from their own desperation! It's not a boomers job to do it for them! How I see it!
But please please please keep sending those checks right?
I can live just fine without! Since I paid, I want my share, just like you will. Helps with extended fishing and hunting trips! Admitting I fish way more than I hunt.

Have been following the discussion without comment but that highlighted part could use some elucidation.
Starting off, no group in America who is decently employable has had it as hard as the folks who lived and tried to make a living through the Depression, that's a given. So no generation can claim they had it the hardest compared to that.
But could you be more specific about what part of getting and keeping a job wasn't hard and what particular strategy and work was it that would leave one homeless today? Time lines would help since back in the day is non-specific.
What I'm really asking is an explanation in as much detail as you can what sea change has occurred in the job market or life in general that can be applied to populations as a whole? I worked for 45 years right up until three years ago and I haven't seen any major difference nor except for nepotism which has always existed have I seen things handed to anyone. You still have to compete against other qualified people, same as always. You still have to offer value to your employer or take the major risk of self-employment, same as always. You still have to start out with no experience in a job market filled with experienced people, same as always. I don't understand what was so easy 50 years ago that is now hard and apparently obsolete.
Wasn't trying to bait, just trying to see if Jetson would follow his own line of logic. Don't agree with everything you said but at least you had balls enough to answer.
What question did I not answer? You accused me of saying things that I did not say, I asked you for proof.
You dodged 2 questions that I asked you. Save the "balls" comment until you answer your lies.
Boomers- we lived it up- you'all deal with it. 15seconds. AND anymore negative words about Booomers-> I'll go find a better place to spend my time ! ! !
I don't understand what was so easy 50 years ago that is now hard and apparently obsolete.
Challenges are much different and more difficult now than they were 50 years ago. There is no question that society is more complex and life is much more expensive in this country. Back then you could buy a new car for three months pay. And you could buy a house for a years pay. And you could pay for college out of your pocket.
I would not want to be in the shoes of young people today.
You will receive benefits and entitlements at a higher rate than you paid in.
Big Jim,
Why so bitter about SS?
A higher rate than I paid in?
You’re not that dense, You could pay in for 40 years and die after collecting for 2 years.
Must be Whisky in the Tin cup night, with a shot of envy.
Jim is correct. Most people draw more out than they put in. There are some that die young and never draw and some drop dead at age 67 and don't draw much.
I don't have any idea how old Jim is or what he is thinking but it could be that he is paying on a contract he never agreed to for a gimme program that likely won't be there for him.
Social Security at its beginning was not to furnish and finance a nice retirement. The idea was to keep old folks from starving. We all know 50 and 60 year old people that don't have a dollar saved anywhere and they would starve if not the relief system of social security.
It is a shame that most people cannot realize they will be old and unemployable at some point. They could invest what they pay into SS and have a better retirement but they just will not do it. My wife works for an organization that matches her 401K contributions. There are about 20 people working there and she is one out of the three that participate. The others for some reason cannot see the huge boost they would get by basically buying into the market at 1/2 price. Oh well.
I like empirical evidence so looked up the actual cost /benefit ratio of Social Security. Only have my own data to go on so this may be skewed somewhat since I made diddly squat for many years and only in the last 15 years or so did I actually make a "good living". SS payments are calculated on the last two years of employment so my early starving years and resulting low contributions actually work in my favor on a strictly bottom line basis.
I have paid a bit over $149,000 total in SS taxes since I began paying them in 1968 working after school jobs. My employers got stuck for some $153,000 so a total of $302,000 taken by the government. Can't accurately determine how COLA will affect future payments, but based on reasonable estimates in roughly 10 years I will break even on how much I and my employers paid in versus what I get out. That's gross amount before mandatory Medicare deductions and taxes on SS.
Sometime in 2035 is when everybody else starts paying for my sports cars, hookers and cocaine.
Just for the hell of it -
Breaking down just my portion - no employer contribution at all - as an equal monthly payment, had I been able to invest just my share at 5% compounded annually for 53 years it would have amounted to $667,000, over twice as much. So you guys wouldn't be buying my drugs and sex until 2045.
That's neither here nor there since the government doesn't let us do that but it does give some concrete numbers about how inefficient and what a ripoff SS is for everybody involved.
My question is I’m 40 been payin into SS since 17 who’s gonna pay me
We screwed. Unless Gen Z starts pumping out the workers. Which I don't see happening as Men can't get pregnant and the women are wanting "freedom" in overwhelming numbers. They have even convinced themselves that reproducing is bad for the climate. Like I said. We screwed.

So if I'm getting you right, if I paid an average $100 per month x 50 yrs =60k.(not counting employer matching) And now I'm getting $900 per month so at the 5.5 year point if I can afford it I should contact SS Administration and tell them to stop my payments.
Might be a couple of problems with that, who's to say what I can afford and what I cant? And what happens after I drop my ss and I'm living on a 401k and then the market crashes or the housing bubble pops, or I get sick, etc. Don't know your situation at all but you mentioned your wife is putting into deferred comp. and a wise choice but be honest, are you two going to forgo SS when it's time?
We are way off track. This thread is about Boomers walking around with a stick up their azz therefore souring their last handful of turns around the sun.

I’ve not read much of this thread but did note the anguish over SS. It’s a government program that’s been totally mis managed, no surprise. SS needs to be phased out. It’s going to hit a wall in the not to distant future. Seems to me that a bipartisan small group could find a path to get out of this catastrophe, but it won’t be painless. Hopefully the pain would be less and foreseeable while letting SS hit a wall in the future will be more much painful. I’d think something like setting and end date, say 20 years from now. Then ramp down the benefit to the wealthy, over that time. And ramp down the contribution to the lower earners. Maybe expand 401K and Roth programs to further incentivize saving. Post elimination, maintain a fund for the <1% of the population that are truly disabled. After the 20 years, people are on their own, like they were before the democrats started this pile of you know what. Oh, and I’m a boomer, paid in for 45 years. Wife did same in paying in. Considering compound interest, I’ll never recover what I paid in. My wife collected fo six years and died. Obviously she collected only a fraction of what she paid.

Assuming Jim in Idaho numbers are somewhat relative, and they appear to be ,
300,000 a year invested at a modest 6%, 18,000 a year just in interest not even touching the principal, or 1500 a month, again not even touching the principal, 1500, likely about the average SS payout, Your getting the interest back, .Gov gets the original 300K.
Ya, Some boomer getting 1800 a month for several years till death is the root of the issue.

You going to answer the questions when you called me out, or keep thinking about Jims’ prostrate?
Dude you started this whole thread just so you could stir up the s-hit and sit back, well look who's all pissed and emotional now lol. Some of us boomers been playing this game longer than you been alive. Suck-it! Lol
Values lol that's funny. But since you asked it's their parents that spoiled them and gave them all they could. That set the mentality of everyone caters to them and it's still true. Nice attempt at bait thinking no one would go after the "greatest generation" they won WW2 sure, but they gave us the generation of greedy whiners we have now in the boomers.
What boomers did to succeed back in the day wasn't hard, that same strategy and work would leave you homeless these days. Y'all had everything handed to you and instead of doing the same for the next gen you said eff them. All patting each other on the back saying how tough you had it. BTW it's still boomers calling the shots in Congress, that's your legacy. Trying to blame it on the generation(s) you raised is a cop out. And you wonder why your kids don't call or visit. Shameful.

Starting off, no group in America who is decently employable has had it as hard as the folks who lived and tried to make a living through the Depression, that's a given. So no generation can claim they had it the hardest compared to that.
But could you be more specific about what part of getting and keeping a job wasn't hard and what particular strategy and work was it that would leave one homeless today? Time lines would help since back in the day is non-specific.
What I'm really asking is an explanation in as much detail as you can what sea change has occurred in the job market or life in general that can be applied to populations as a whole? I worked for 45 years right up until three years ago and I haven't seen any major difference nor except for nepotism which has always existed have I seen things handed to anyone. You still have to compete against other qualified people, same as always. You still have to offer value to your employer or take the major risk of self-employment, same as always. You still have to start out with no experience in a job market filled with experienced people, same as always. I don't understand what was so easy 50 years ago that is now hard and apparently obsolete.
The old days of working your way to the top and anyone who is ambitious are over. Forget competition and nepotism for a minute although that's also worse than ever. I get you've been working a long time, that's my point. Back in the day when you were starting, you started at the bottom and are now in a much higher position. That doesn't exist anymore. The population has more than doubled in that time and they are importing laborers at record levels for the last decade+ add record inflation, record housing prices. None of that is seen by folks like you because you rose with it. Those starting out are fuched. Your post proves my point exactly. If you need further proof then the homework is on you. Compare prices of housing, college, fuel, food etc over the last several decades and the percentage of income required to secure any of them. It's not comparable or even close. We're paying for that, not you. Good on you got being born by accident in the right era, but don't think it's any more than that. FYI the greatest generation were just regular folks placed in an extraordinary situation. Yeah they were a little tougher to begin with because a higher percentage lived rurally. That's the cold truth and you know it as much as I do. I don't fault you for it, just don't deny that's the way it is now. Feel blessed rather than arrogant. Tall order for most boomers.
Don't worry, Rum checks Jim's prostrate quite frequently lol
You going to answer the questions when you called me out, or keep thinking about Jims’ prostrate?
Dude you started this whole thread just so you could stir up the s-hit and sit back, well look who's all pissed and emotional now lol. Some of us boomers been playing this game longer than you been alive. Suck-it! Lol
That’s what I thought, bow out now, save whatever California Boomer face you have left. Someone else will pick up your slack. Newsome appreciates you.
Sorry couldn't make out what you said, must have something in your mouth Lol You guys are so easy and you have no idea how much I'm enjoying it. At least come back with something good like Jim and Rum, they actually made me laugh.
The folks that rely on SS would not have saved the money on their own.
They just wouldn't have done it.
You are correct. Many people have no clue how to save.
But i would today at age 57 I’ll give up my ss and its value IF i can keep the money you rob from me and invest it how i want. Would have more dollars by the time I retire than what SS will give me
The folks that rely on SS would not have saved the money on their own.
They just wouldn't have done it.
You are likely correct. Pre SS people people got by.
Possibly, But the average life expectancy back in 1940 was about 60
Not an apples to apples comparison.
Look at the tombstones in an old cemetery and you'll see that the average was 60 because so many died as infants/children/young adults from ailments/diseases for which there were cures/vaccines later. Lots of people lived to be in their '80's and '90's if not taken out young by the likes of polio, pneumonia {almost always fatal before penicillin} etc.. My great grandparents were both in their 50's in 1940. Gramps lived to be 94 and gram missed her 102 nd birthday by 5 days. She lived on her own completely able to take care of herself until a stroke took her down at the age of 99.

I'm offering a solution.
Give me 20% of what I've paid in and we'll call it good.
But i would today at age 57 I’ll give up my ss and its value IF i can keep the money you rob from me and invest it how i want. Would have more dollars by the time I retire than what SS will give me
You’re a friggen genius, how do you not have your own show ?

Thanks for the reply. If you'll back off the bitterness just a touch we have something to talk about.
The starting at the bottom and working your way up - I'm still seeing that or saw that. I was a programmer/analyst, liked what I did and didn't want to go into management, but I saw guys half my age - Gen X and Millennials - start out with the company and proceed upward. Maybe the lack of upward mobility doesn't exist in some other fields, I don't know.
The population has indeed risen a lot, it was 220 million when I joined the work force, today it's 342 million. More people competing for the same resources drives up prices. Is that the direct fault of one age group?
A programmer in 1970 might make $12,000, a nice house might cost $25,000. The 1970's saw huge "stagflation" - slow economic growth, high unemployment along with high rates of inflation. That same programmer in 1980 might make 2 1/2 times as much, $30,000, but was looking at the same house costing $100,000, four times as much, with a 16% mortgage to boot. People trying to buy houses in the early 2000's saw prices rise dramatically almost month by month, right up until they fell.
People starting out have always had it hard. I had five separate jobs go out from under me over the first 20 years of my career - two companies went out of business, two moved away and one was bought by a large national corporation who promptly fired all of us and replaced us with their people. I had to find work at new companies about every four years on average. In 1990 that new work didn't come quickly enough so my house was foreclosed by the bank. Not crying woe is me, that's just the way my life's cookie crumbled. Others have gone through much worse.
My Gen Z grandnephew is just now graduating a 4 year apprenticeship as an Electrician. He has high hopes for his future and wants to open his own business. His older brother just got out of prison. I recently had a conversation with a young man working the counter at a sandwich shop, he is graduating from Boise State this year with a degree in Civil Engineering and chose that field because of the many opportunities and good pay.
I don't lack empathy or compassion for younger folks, times are indeed hard right now, but they've been hard before and they will be again. What I have seen through Gen X, Y and now Z is that some folks choose paths that make it less hard. If someone wants to feel better by saying your hardship was only a 4 and mine is a 7 so you suck and I hate you, well, go for it. If it feels bleaker and more hopeless than ever before, 1) no one in history has ever personally experienced the entirety of ever before and 2) that could very rightfully be blamed on folks setting unrealistic expectations of what life is really like.
Bottom line is, life sucks and then you die. Or not, at least the life sucks part. That seems arrogant and insulting, but it's true and always has been. It sucked more for some folks - Mongol invasion, the Black Death, Auschwitz and Dachau - and it sucked less for others. But another truism in life is that one's attitude shapes one's experiences. If someone thinks they're screwed, they definitely are. If not, there's hope and a very real probability that things get better. That also sounds trite and dismissive, but I'm afraid it's about all this boomer has really learned in life and all he can offer.
The folks that rely on SS would not have saved the money on their own.
They just wouldn't have done it.
That’s probably true.
It is absolutely true. And a significant percent of the population does not have a bank account and therefore have not one penny in the bank or anywhere else. I'm not sure how they handle receiving their payments. Maybe some kind of card.
We are way off track. This thread is about Boomers walking around with a stick up their azz therefore souring their last handful of turns around the sun.
Really it's an important PSA.
Pffftttttt, We can stroke this thread for days…You never stated any rules.
True. You Boomers use your age to justify everything. That, I can't wait for. Another PSA: If you plan on doing much stroking, don't forget to take the blue pill at least an hour ahead of time.

pre wwii a lot more americans lived on family farms. keep the old folks around, add more water to the soup, keep going. plant a bigger garden, can more food.
nowdays, can't imagine how this country would survive a great depression, almost no one lives on farm. most farmers go to the grocery store.
pre SS people lived in a different world in america.
not sure what happened in big cities in great depression? soup kitchens? relief work? wpa?

It would be an epic collapse. I think it is coming. I'm worried because I do live on a farm. Hope I own enough bullets.

Back then you relied on your kids to take care of you when you got old. Good luck with that now. The selfish, lazy, arrogant, worthless little pricks gonna let you starve. Haaahaaahaahaahaa !

A friends wife works in SS, years ago she told me some stats on a survey they did. I don't remember the exact number but the majority of AA's are broke-$ within ten days. Many are broke in 2-3 days.
The younger ones complaining about boomers need to figure it out that SS is not an entitlement. You have been brain washed by government. SS would have been solvent for years to come if congress had not raid the funds by people you voted into office.
All those bitching about boomers are going to realize some day, they will be there themselves.
I guess I am a pre boomer, but I never took a penny from unemployment insurance, never was laid off or fired, I am debt free, I have enough saved for retirement. Today,s generation usually have nothing saved, don't plan on any retirement have to have all the the electric gadgets and can't even figure out what gender they are.
We are working on it, your going to have to learn patience. 20 more years for many. In the meantime get your ass to work, and keep stuffing the coffer!
I can't believe this thread is still Booming.......
I learned a few things in this thread; Most Boomers posting here follow a couple patterns, MOST, not all.
A. Can't help but tell you how hard their life was (is), how tired they are, how they had to spend the night on the cross after a hard days work for little money. ( Kind of like pilots and Vegans, can't help it) Remember 40 hours 40 years ago was longer than todays hours. (wait for 40hr. week comments) It's that predictable.
OR
B. Angry posts full of insults. Because nobody today or the last 30 years has worked hard or deserved their pay. Finally, humor fades with age.
Back then you relied on your kids to take care of you when you got old. Good luck with that now. The selfish, lazy, arrogant, worthless little pricks gonna let you starve. Haaahaaahaahaahaa !
That’s a pretty broad brush, do you have any kids or grandkids? Why would they treat you like that ?

It is interesting to note, that Pew Research and others confirming, that the Silent Generation and the Boomers are significantly majority conservative voters. Succeeding generations are majority Democrats, with the Millennials leading the stupid contest with 54% blue. M's and X's also lead the uncommitted, middle of the road. The Silents (we don't buy green bananas) are the largest percentage hard core conservatives. This really doesn't fit well with the common assumption that all old people vote themselves free stuff. I am not surprised by this, having read years ago, that the Nielson Rating of Rush Limbaugh's core audience was us geezers.

Yeah I have kids and grandkids. They don't fit the picture painted of them by the broad brush of many boomers anymore than I fit the picture of a boomer painted by the broad brush used by most millenials.

Why?
Take a guess!
You are a dumb sunofabitch, in addition to being a smelly, lazy, fat drunk.
Would you boomers give back some or all of your entitlements to help save the country?
My wife and I both take a SS payment every month and I take the drought disaster payments from USDA (which are a ridiculous waste of tax money) But yes I would give up some of my unentitlements as long as it would be for everyone no matter who.
Instead of SS step increases for inflation and calling a cut in the normal increase a budget cut why not a 1% actual cut in everything every year for 10 years with no one spared. If you are drawing $1,000 for example your cut would be $10. If the military gets $1,000,000,000,000 well by golly they will just have to make it on 1% less
EBT cards the same and so on.
Social Security should be called what it is, a coerced gift from the younger generation. If you are living off of the gift of a SS payment, tough titty, you can do your part and lose a few hundred $ every year.
So, yes I'll be glad to take a cut if everybody does, and I don't feel sorry at all for those stupid wasteful souls that don't have the money for a roll of toilet paper mid month.
It is kinda crappy when you think about how you hear all the badmouthing of these kids today.
Mildred and Horace wouldn't stand a chance today in high-school.
Not to mention how the big taxpayers and largest group of PRODUCTIVE workers are all pieces of shìt basement dwellers.
These kids went to war for 20 years. No draft. Basement dwellers indeed.
Over half of the greatest generation was drafted.
And the older generation doesn't understand why they don't get the respect they deserve.
Just the way it seems to me.
Funny, the millenial who cries the loudest about how they've had it so tough and his generation works so hard has plenty of time to post on the campfire at all hours of the day. It's also odd how many employers will tell you they absolutely have to hire immigrants to do construction/roofing/farm type work today because Americans just won't do that stuff anymore. The same kind of work I busted my ass doing for many years and I didn't have time to post on the internet when I worked those jobs because I was actually "working" all day.

Go kick some brambles and dogs.
Get to work you lazy fat bastard. The trouble with you whiny bitches today is you expect a full days pay for a half days work while you spend the other half on the net complaining about how tough you've got it.
As long as 10-20 million wetbacks are getting freebies and all the welfare rats as well I will continue to spend my SS check as I see fit. Women elected Obummer and Bidet so don’t blame us Boomers. Have a nice day! Edk

Coerced gift from the younger generation? Pretty stupid comment. I have been paying into SS since 1970. The reality being if SS hadn't been raided by the dumrats to pay for Vietnam and then use for welfare because some stupid beyotch got knocked up(gift to the younger generation) the "gift" would still be giving. You retard.
I may post a lot but I don't lie all the time like yourself, steel toe dog kicker.
The fuuck you don't. Your whole existence is nothing but a lie. You think you've got everybody bullshyted that you're a hard working, fine, upstanding farmer who's worldly, educated and intelligent when in fact you're a lazy, fat ass, big mouthed drunk, living in a state of perpetual stupor, squallor and inactivity. You don't have everybody fooled.
Boomers rule, look at all the butt hurt from the next generations. The rest need to move on from their own desperation! It's not a boomers job to do it for them! How I see it!
But please please please keep sending those checks right?
Occasionally I see you as a truly dumb SOB. SS is the one thing that keeps you millentards from having to take care of their elders, you should be very happy about that. Second I have been paying into SS and other taxes since 1970. Are you suffering from some kind of mental disease? And you imply you suck because of us?

Well said rickt300 I've had ss grafted from.my paychecks since 1969. If you paid into it it is not an entitlement only for people who didn't earn any by paying into it could be called an " entitlement". A stop giving it to illegal aliens. Make all the funds stolen out of ss for pork projects to get.paid back to ss. If I had set aside the money I paid in ss I could take care of myself everyone needs to understand that. Mb

SS is the one thing that keeps you millentards from having to take care of their elders
SS literally is current taxpayers taking case of their elders.
But I do agree that without it a large number of boomers would be on the streets due their lack of personal savings, and no one wants to have to step over them just to get around.

So you "think"(ha ha ha) Boomers are not still working and paying taxes? Or not working and still paying taxes? Did you miss the part about SS being used to home welfare whores? Or the incredible thieving politicians have done with the SS fund? Saving money has never been easy, thank god for 401K. You suck because you suck, I had nothing to do with it.

Posting as frequently as you do at all hours of the day in conjunction with the retarded content, is all the proof needed to debunk the made up story of your life.
Tell us some more about your 6 divorces and your early retirement.
We love fiction.
You do love to exaggerate you stinky fat booger eater but it's all you've got to maintain your fantasy so perfectly understandable.
You probably live on alimony and disability payments.
Hmmm, even if that were true it would be better than whiskey, donuts, lies and fantasy you thick headed lazy bastard.
So you "think"(ha ha ha) Boomers are not still working and paying taxes? Or not working and still paying taxes?
The fact that you boomers did nothing about SS when you had the political clout to do so is probably due to the fact you had no curiosity about how it worked, you just wanted the bread and circuses to continue, is one of the many reasons why subsequent generations find your behavior distasteful.

So lets see here you retard. I was stationed with my parents on Okinawa at the Naha AFB from 1964 to 1970 . My father was on his fifth tour in the Viet Nam war when Johnson robbed SS to continue the war. Clout to do something about what the govt did with SS? What would that look like? From 1976 to 1982 chasing submarines didn't give me a lot of clout either. Not exactly bread or circuses. After that I went to work in the oilfield, then opened up a Harley shop. Then worked is several machine shops that were vendors for Bell Helicopter. Any bread I ate I paid for, the circuses were put on by dumrats. So how did all that make you suck?
Clout to do something about what the govt did with SS? What would that look like?
It would have looked like you and your generation making choices to preserve the future of the intact, functional, homogeneous society you were born into, alongside the greatest economy in the history of civilization, rather than raiding it for bread and circuses.
Work entitlement? Ha ha ha ha so working itself is an entitlement? Idiot.
Have you searched the web for the meaning of the word entitlement? I know that is a lot to ask, and you see ignorance as a virtue, but it would be helpful for your understanding here.
I may post a lot but I don't lie all the time like yourself, steel toe dog kicker.
The fuuck you don't. Your whole existence is nothing but a lie. You think you've got everybody bullshyted that you're a hard working, fine, upstanding farmer who's worldly, educated and intelligent when in fact you're a lazy, fat ass, big mouthed drunk, living in a state of perpetual stupor, squallor and inactivity. You don't have everybody fooled.

My wife and I hate Boomers so much that she is taking a CNA class out of her own pocket so she can help keep a couple of boomers in their home instead of a nursing home or assisted living facility. Between that and my EMT license they should be good to go.

Use one of those alimony checks and get an education.

what an idiot! So my enjoyment of the greatest economy in the history of civilization began in 1982, Since I lived on military bases for the first 15 years of my life, the Navy for 6 years and then went to work in the oilfield wasn't making the choice to preserve the future of an intact functional homogeneous society? I take issue with the word homogeneous, never did I give a damn what color anyone was so in my view having lived on military bases much of my life society was race blind. It has been only recently that society has lost it's functionality. And the reason for that is the current crop of leftards are blithering idiots. You morons put people in positions of power because of their ideology, race or sexual preferences, not because they are capable of doing the job. So no you suck because you suck, nothing I did would change that. The only work entitlement I will admit to is various companies matching what I put in my 401K.

If you'd just try working a little more, drinking a little less and losing a lttle weight, maybe she'll want to stay around. You just have to pull your head out of your ass and out of that bottle and everything will be OK.
I can't believe this thread is still Booming.......
I learned a few things in this thread; Most Boomers posting here follow a couple patterns, MOST, not all.
A. Can't help but tell you how hard their life was (is), how tired they are, how they had to spend the night on the cross after a hard days work for little money. ( Kind of like pilots and Vegans, can't help it) Remember 40 hours 40 years ago was longer than todays hours. (wait for 40hr. week comments) It's that predictable.
OR
B. Angry posts full of insults. Because nobody today or the last 30 years has worked hard or deserved their pay. Finally, humor fades with age.

Seems so simple to me. But whether it is or way over my head I still paid in for 45 years & want it back, as that was what it was for. Will I draw more than I contributed? Sure as fuquk hope so. It should have made money in those years.
Who would think it fine if they put 10 grand in a savings account & in 45 years it still only be worth 10 grand? It could have made plenty money, as simple freakin math, not even compounded interest says it would be worth ~$37,000 in the end. But the Gov. mishandled it & stole from it. They still have to pay it out so they're stealing from the tax payers to do it. It's got nothing to do with a boomer getting it, & everything to do with gov't theft & mismanagement.
Rick300 coined a pretty spot on statement it seems, don't blame me if you suck.

Post an actual link to your definition of entitlement. Enough of your personal bias.
Ok boomer. You've had your entire life to educate yourself about this and you haven't bothered, and you should take some responsibility for that and stop trying to blame me.
The only reason that I'm going to start drawing SSI when I turn 70 is to pay for Medicare. Whatever is left will go to charity, probably the local food pantry.
I've paid in a lot more into SSI than I'll ever get out of SSI, but that's okay with me, 'cause a lot of people depend on SSI and I've been fortunate/lucky enough such that I don't need it.
Would you boomers give back some or all of your entitlements to help save the country?
My wife and I both take a SS payment every month and I take the drought disaster payments from USDA (which are a ridiculous waste of tax money) But yes I would give up some of my unentitlements as long as it would be for everyone no matter who.
Instead of SS step increases for inflation and calling a cut in the normal increase a budget cut why not a 1% actual cut in everything every year for 10 years with no one spared. If you are drawing $1,000 for example your cut would be $10. If the military gets $1,000,000,000,000 well by golly they will just have to make it on 1% less
EBT cards the same and so on.
Social Security should be called what it is, a coerced gift from the younger generation. If you are living off of the gift of a SS payment, tough titty, you can do your part and lose a few hundred $ every year.
So, yes I'll be glad to take a cut if everybody does, and I don't feel sorry at all for those stupid wasteful souls that don't have the money for a roll of toilet paper mid month.
Coerced gift from the younger generation? Pretty stupid comment. I have been paying into SS since 1970. The reality being if SS hadn't been raided by the dumrats to pay for Vietnam and then use for welfare because some stupid beyotch got knocked up(gift to the younger generation) the "gift" would still be giving. You retard.
Well said rickt300 I've had ss grafted from.my paychecks since 1969. If you paid into it it is not an entitlement only for people who didn't earn any by paying into it could be called an " entitlement". A stop giving it to illegal aliens. Make all the funds stolen out of ss for pork projects to get.paid back to ss. If I had set aside the money I paid in ss I could take care of myself everyone needs to understand that. Mb
Whatever boys; but you didn't pay into a fund for your SS in the future. You were paying mom and dad's payment. Your money went to them. Sorry but that's the way it is and the way it was intended from the beginning. Your money is gone. The system was badly flawed from the start even if life expectancies had not added 15 to 20 years on average. Our generation did not produce the average 4 child family which now puts the squeeze on incoming money. Also the benefits have gotten way out of hand. The idea to start with was a supplement for elderly to stave off starvation and have a roof.
Now a couple will retire in New Jersey and move down to a Florida trailer park and get by better on their SS than the young people supporting them with the non-entitlement SS payment. An entitlement is something you have coming due to you trading something valuable for it. The fact that you furnished charity to your parents generation does not automatically entitle you to latch on to the charity of our children's generation. Children that we did not produce enough of to prolong the Ponzi scheme maybe another generation.
Social Security is a social WELFARE benefit that for now is paid for by mandatory taxes on some of the working people and when enough of us die off and the system goes bust the younger generation will opt out of paying you.

6 divorces, retired early.....sure thing.
You exaggerate everything by at least 3 times. Especially how hard you work.
I sure DO like my monthly SS Social Welfare direct deposits. Along with my Pension direct deposits. Along with my employer sponsored 401K converted to individual IRA (withdrawals as I see fit, though once I hit 70yo .guv requires MD).
I also take advantage of managing my 1040 AGI to achieve minimal income tax burden. No debt so it's all fun money.

What's Canadian for Karen ?
C unt
Boomer statement if I ever heard one. We need more oversight! For our own good!
Yes they used the word, “entitlement” No chit Sherlock,
Of course they did because Social Security is an entitlement program. Words have standard definitions no matter how upset that makes you.
You and Whoopi Goldberg are lined up in thinking its not an entitlement because "We paid fo dat"
Lives in the state of excellence, Resides in the county of confusion^.
I”LL TRY TO TYPE THIS REAL SLOW FOR YOU,
When someone takes possessions from you, You are ‘entitled’ to have those possessions returned to you, They were yours to begin with, and therefore you have the ‘RIGHT” to have them returned to you,
That is 4th grade level stuff right there, if you still can’t understand it, Have your kids explain it to you.

Obviously, I could go on, but you are probably upset enough already. Remember to take your blood pressure meds!
You can call SS a giraffe if you wish. It is still unearned social welfare. And it is paid to a lot of people wealthy enough to get by without it.
USDA subsidies fit that same definition.
In 1987 I bought pasture land for $400 an acre and 10 years later put 25 acres in CRP so the kids would have a place to hunt. Been renewing it every time it comes up. The USDA has paid me double what I paid for the land. Now I have a nice stand of oak and pecan and could cut it down if I wished. That also is welfare as was all the lime, fertilizer, and even chicken house manure (450 tons) they have paid for. I am grateful to get it but it is farm welfare not an entitlement.
When someone takes possessions from you, You are ‘entitled’ to have those possessions returned to you, They were yours to begin with, and therefore you have the ‘RIGHT” to have them returned to you
If you are dumb enough to believe that the money SS sends you today is the money they took from you 40 years ago, you are probably a boomer.
It's funny to hear all the boomers talk about paying in since the 60's and 70's. Then blaming the politicians since then for raiding it and then mock the workers now who are funding their SS checks. That's our whole [bleep] point!
You didn't stop it the last 5 decades, you let it happen and didn't start complaining until recent years. And us workers that are paying in now so you can get it, guess what? We're not going to get anything when we get to retirement age because it won't exist or be so diluted it'll be $100 a month. With still rampant inflation.
You're right, none of you did anything to cause it directly. But you sure as hell didn't do anything to prevent it while you watched it happening. You had it easy, cheaper cost of living and opportunities galore for someone who wanted to work. Homes appreciated steadily building your wealth so you could leverage it to buy more houses for vacation or to rent for more money. .
Now a days housing is so expensive and blackrock owns most of them, bought from boomers who only cared about top dollar more than anything before going into a home where they took it all anyway. Kids entering the workforce now basically have no chance to make it on their own. Record numbers of renters, record prices. It's all leading to financial slavery of the future generations. Completely made possible by the greed of boomers that don't care about anything but themselves. You all changed the model of the American dream because you couldn't have enough always wanted more. Gen X to Z studies have shown what matters most is family and happiness over material possessions. Boomers only care about material possessions and how much $$$ they can accumulate. If they thought about anything other than themselves and been proactive to protect the American dream we might still have it as an option. It's the boomer generation that let everything happen that we see today and where America is at. They saw it happen as it was happening back in the 60's and 70's when it was small. Thousands of posts here can attest to it, they all talk about when the country turned towards the bad. It was long before Gen X to current were even born. Yet now they bitch because we are magically supposed to fix it after it's grown to the beast it is now with a fraction of the resources.
And they still could care less. The only thing they care about is themselves. They've said as much on this thread even and act like it's a justification. They're still doing nothing but watch it happen and blaming others, anyone but themselves.

“Cheaper cost of living?” “Rampant inflation?” When is the last time you had a 17-18% mortgage? 😁
I have read where some of the top money gurus claimed SS would have been OK financially or at least repairable if Bush had not signed the Medicare Prescription Drug Act in 2004. Sounds like big pharma was the winner again.
For the record, I don't hold Boomers accountable for the SS mess.

Now they stand around and shake their fists at the subsequent generations as if they didn't kick the boulder of the cliff to begin with.
It has been my impression that LBJ's Great Society program was the seismic event that contributed to the downfall of the two parent classical/traditional family in the U.S. LBJ was born in 1908, 38 years before the beginning of the Baby Boomer Generation. The Baby Boomer Generation ran from 1946 thru 1964, so the oldest Boomers in the 1960s were between 14 and 24 years of age. Regardless of the era in American history, not many individuals between the ages of 14 and 24 have had much actual influence on national or world events.
Since nobody has any control over when they were born, holding any one individual accountable for the action of all of the people who were alive during his/her generation seems like a stretch to me.

Thousands of posts here can attest to it, they all talk about when the country turned towards the bad. It was long before Gen X to current were even born. Yet now they bitch because we are magically supposed to fix it after it's grown to the beast it is now with a fraction of the resources.
And they still could care less. The only thing they care about is themselves. They've said as much on this thread even and act like it's a justification. They're still doing nothing but watch it happen and blaming others, anyone but themselves.
“Cheaper cost of living?” “Rampant inflation?” When is the last time you had a 17-18% mortgage? 😁
I bought my first house in 1979 and my first mortgage had an 22% interest rate. That house cost $64K. I sold it for $106K in 1988. The same house sold for $472K in 2016.
It's funny to hear all the boomers talk about paying in since the 60's and 70's. Then blaming the politicians since then for raiding it and then mock the workers now who are funding their SS checks. That's our whole [bleep] point!
You didn't stop it the last 5 decades, you let it happen and didn't start complaining until recent years. And us workers that are paying in now so you can get it, guess what? We're not going to get anything when we get to retirement age because it won't exist or be so diluted it'll be $100 a month. With still rampant inflation.
You're right, none of you did anything to cause it directly. But you sure as hell didn't do anything to prevent it while you watched it happening. You had it easy, cheaper cost of living and opportunities galore for someone who wanted to work. Homes appreciated steadily building your wealth so you could leverage it to buy more houses for vacation or to rent for more money. .
Now a days housing is so expensive and blackrock owns most of them, bought from boomers who only cared about top dollar more than anything before going into a home where they took it all anyway. Kids entering the workforce now basically have no chance to make it on their own. Record numbers of renters, record prices. It's all leading to financial slavery of the future generations. Completely made possible by the greed of boomers that don't care about anything but themselves. You all changed the model of the American dream because you couldn't have enough always wanted more. Gen X to Z studies have shown what matters most is family and happiness over material possessions. Boomers only care about material possessions and how much $$$ they can accumulate.

You just don't get it, ya dumb old boomer. Reality became a thing after gen X/Y/Z/Whatever was born and realized they were there filling up their diapers and receiving trophies for it. There is no history before the rise of X/Y/Z/Whatever, and you never saw a single event of significance that took place before "reality" began that matters. Stay in your lane.

Even the wise ole boomers would rather have high interest than stupid inflation and high interest.
There has to be a correction somewhere. Unfortunately, that can has been getting kicked down the road repeatedly since before I could ever vote and there's a machine running things that does not hear us.
There's going to be a correction somewhere, sometime (probably soon) and a lot of people are going to get absolutely F UCKED, I'm afraid. I think that includes EVERYONE here, right now.

The problem with SSI, as I see it, is that FDR intended for it to be a safety net for people who either fell on hard times or never had much/made much to start with. It was never intended to be a person's only source of retirement income, that is what pensions and savings are for. But somewhere along the line a majority of people stopped saving for their retirement and thought that they could depend on SSI to cover all, or at least most, of their retirement expenses.
That said, a lot of my fellow boomers have abused easy credit to scratch their instant gratification itch, buying things that they wanted but didn't need enough to save enough to buy whatever it was outright.

Not to be flippant....but I have been hearing that for a long time.
Does Sam offer a class on not being a whiny biotch from Montana?
Yes but JC was the first one to fail that class.
Oh sweetie....tell us all about how hard you had it.
You'd have died of a heart attack or heat stroke before noon the first day if you tried to do what I did. It was not for the out of shape and overweight which you obviously are.

My first real job was repairing industrial smokestacks. I was 16 years old. There were no rubber mats. They sent me to the top of a 175 footer first day to rebuild the cap.
My main job was mixing mortar and hauling it to the workers up top over and over again all day. Of course you wouldn't know anything about actually working steadily for hours and not having the time to be posting on the net while stiing on your very substantial ass. Boss told me it was a mans job and he paid a mans wage so If I wanted to keep it, I'd have to prove I was man enough. I was getting 6.00 an hour which was more than three times what I'd been making on the farm and I wasn't about to lose it.
Did your mom save all your newspaper clippings from her little man's first big boy job?
What was a fat, mouthy pussy like you doing for work at 16 ? Were you making nearly 3 times the minimum wage ? No ? I didn't think so. When if ever do you plan to get your first "big boy job" ? I had been doing farm work for 3 years before I got the smokestack job so that doesn't qualify.

I see you picked the peak to make your point, median home cost then was in the 60k range and disposable income was way higher. Within 10 years of your example the home prices increased by 40%+ far exceeding the rate of increase of salaries. Maybe consider all the data before cherry picking one little point to justify a "point". Or educate yourself on the realities of it all rather than place blame on every generation but your own. You probably didn't notice it happening because hindsight isn't 20/20 in your case even now, why would you understand it back then right? It still happened on your watch. And you guys continue to make my point. I bet you're loving Biden's proposal to give a $400/mo tax break even though it'll drive housing prices further. Because why not? Eff those kids starting out now, you want more free money. Your whole generation has followed a carrot on a stick since the 60's, no regard for where it leads you though, and here we are.

I had been working a long time before 16.
16? Laughing here!
It doesn't count when working at home for your mommy and daddy and I have not seen much evidence that you do much work yet. Your kids, wife and dogs, yes.... you ? Pffffft. Sitting on your extremely large ass flappin your gums on here all day ain't working BOY. There is simply NO WAY anybody can be in good physical condition and be as fat as you are and NO WAY anybody can be as fat and out of shape as you are if they are very physically active. Go blow smoke up somebody elses ass BOY. This one ain't buyin your fairy tales and lies.

Relax, lighten up, don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does. You don't have much time left, enjoy what you do have.
Just that.....
What a fantastic thread...
All hail LRoy...
Funny thing is; it was started in jest regarding two other threads running at the time. Some of the Boomers took offense, and here we are. I did gain a couple of followers, so I got that going for me.

Sweet... I am working on total consciousness myself...
“So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas….So, I tell them I’m a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald… striking.
So, I’m on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one – big hitter, the Lama – long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga… gunga, gunga-galunga.
So we finish the eighteenth and he’s gonna stiff me. And I say, ‘Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.’ And he says, ‘Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.’ So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.”
What is it with you people? Is there not enough hate between the race groups to satisfy yall? Evidently not. Now we have to further expand the hate between the age groups as well. Boomers, millennials, Generation X, Y. Z. You hate spewing bastards make me want to puke. God help us all.
Those that resent us Boomers because we are getting our SS and don’t think it will be there for you had better start saving up and investing. Plan for the worst and hope for the best.
Not too long after we got married, my wife and I came to the conclusion that SS probably wasn’t going to be around for us either and made sure we’d be ok with or without SS…

My retirement plans don't include SS. If it's there, I'll take it. Not going to bank on the Gov't. for anything.

Messing with SS and Medicare is political suicide; the horse has left the barn and it (significant change) will not happen in your lifetime.
New legislation passed for the following SS “option”:
Big Jim (random name) knows he will have to pay a total of $5,000 in SS in 2024. If over the course of 2024, he makes a total of $5,000 in 401k or some such , (IRA) , he gets his SS deductions back.
It might not work if most everyone started doing that. Honestly, you’d be an idiot not to since you’ll get a good ROR compared to the current SS system.

I've watched your smartassery here for years and am not impressed. You've left me alone so I've left you alone. You posted a smartass comment to me first in this thread. You brought my reply on yourself. It has been my experience that the smartass types almost always cause problems on the job that leads to themselves and those around them getting less done than would be the case without them. I usually got rid of them fairly quickly.

I doubt you were in the position to get rid of anybody that wasn't wearing a McDonalds hat. You don't have the maturity or self control. You might be a badass at the T-ball field or Chuckie Cheese, but you're just an angry big mouth here.

I can't believe this thread is still Booming.......
I learned a few things in this thread; Most Boomers posting here follow a couple patterns, MOST, not all.
A. Can't help but tell you how hard their life was (is), how tired they are, how they had to spend the night on the cross after a hard days work for little money. ( Kind of like pilots and Vegans, can't help it) Remember 40 hours 40 years ago was longer than todays hours. (wait for 40hr. week comments) It's that predictable.
OR
B. Angry posts full of insults. Because nobody today or the last 30 years has worked hard or deserved their pay. Finally, humor fades with age.
Rickt300 = A
Blackheart = B
To easy.......
And before that this. To which I also made no reply.

I already put the posts up.. My god but you're a fuucking moron as well as a huge poosy. Make posts intended to agitate then whine like a little bitch when you get the reply you fished for. Poor little boo boo.
Wrong again liar, you had to open your dickhole and put your .02 in. If any of my posts agitate you, you seriously need to toughen up. Maybe find another forum that will provide you a safe space.

Old boomers always talk tough on the internet. It's never not funny.
What about us young boomers?
I mean, according to some definitions there's about an 18-20 year spread for boomerism.
Should ALL boomers be lumped together?
PS, I think boomers should be capitalized, as in Boomers, as it seems to me the word is being used as a proper noun in most cases??? Can we get a ruling from one of the campfire grammar police?

Obviously your parents raised one.
Yep and in that post you were insinuating that Boomers raised a bunch of losers and seeing as how I am a Boomer, it's an insult. In my day, insults often resulted in violent consequences. If you were going to do it, you'd better be prepared to get punched in the mouth. If you were a man, you took what you'd asked for and didn't go whining to the authorities because you knew you deserved it and telling is a bitch move. The reason there's so many disrespectful mouthy kuunts like you these days is because there are usually no consequences for being a mouthy kuunt and they know it and it's a shame. Now, take your little bitch ass elswhere to complain about your poosy hurt. I've listened to enough and am completely out of giveafuuck.

All of this because you can't fuggin read? Notice the " " around loser ? You and Dumb Don should learn to read before running your mouth. You're a boomer that's for sure, takes a long time to be that GD ignorant. As for the rest of your Boomer rant - bla bla bla. We do agree on one thing, the internet prevents a lot of pain, and dental work. GFY - done with you.
I can't think of anything much funnier than watching a spineless bitch trying to backpeddle and twist the meaning of what they said into something else. These kind of people are what is currently occupying the whitehouse, the halls of congress and the courts who try to tell us "shall not be infringed" really doesn't mean what it sounds like it means. Anybody smarter than a boot full of piss can see the only thing these " " did was define the term used to describe the useless generation it was being suggested the boomers were responsible for raising. Just goes to show what a spineless low life this ElRoy clown really is. The rest of us can read just fine and know just exactly what was said and what it meant.
Go Boomers GO! Without Boomers there would be no USA because Boomers do stand in the way of wokes, liberals, lgbtqueers, communists, socialists, and marxists who want to totally bring down the country. 👀
You will receive benefits and entitlements at a higher rate than you paid in.
This is true for women, but not men.
On average, across all social programs, men pay in about what they receive. Women receive much more. They're received an excess amount equivalent to the total National Debt pre-covid.
You will receive benefits and entitlements at a higher rate than you paid in.
Not really, not even close.
Not at all.
With all the entitlements you will receive....you expect to not come close to that number?
Trip in an Ambulance with a procedure and a couple nights would be a couple 100k. And that's at the 70-80% Medicare billed rate. And people wonder why private insurance is so high. Guess who's picking up some slack.
Have a severe heart attack where they save you and have an operation to fix damage an clear the pipes? $1million+ after 1 year of followups, medication, etc...
Wouldn't it cost less to just put the whole family on welfare ? Maybe even throw in aunt Emma and Uncle Bob and a few cousins. Sheesh, and these ass holes worry about how much seniors are getting on SS.
Between the conrad family, illegal aliens and other assorted welfare cases and freeloaders it's no wonder we're 34 trillion in debt.
You got another alimony payment coming killer?
You must be working on your 7th divorce yeah?
#earlyretirement
Here's a novel idea, get off your fat dead ass, get a real job, you know, one that actually pays and try supporting yourself and your family. It ain't our responsibility.
That's fine, killer. I never lied, unlike yourself.
Did your ex wives have "real man jobs" like your made up smoke stack foreman told you about?
The fuuuuck you didn't lie. You're the biggest damn liar here. Bullshyt everybody about what a fine, upstanding hard woirking family man rancher you are, meanwhile you sit on your dead ass raking in taxpayers dollars to support your whiskey and donut habits. And here you are giving shyt to the boomers for collecting Social Security when you should be thanking them for supporting your dead ass all these years. What a fuuckin hypocritical loser. I had you pegged right all along. Ain't no way in hell you can be that fat and be very damn active, thats for damn sure. Have you actually needed to make any money for yourself all these years or have the taxpayer funded subsidies been sufficient to support you and yours in a lifestyle satisfatory to your taste ?

TLDR
Those women paid you to leave didn't they.
Your attempts to deflect won't change what you are and what you've done you piece of shyt. You and your life are a bigger lie than anything the Democrats you hate so much could dream up on their best day.
Big Jim, the big fat lazy ass welfare case. HAHAHAHAHA ! What a fuuckin loser. I tried to tell these guys you were a poser for years and TAADAAA there it is, big as day. LMFAO
No one needed to tell us you were a loser. There’s that.
If ya'll weren't a bunch of post op brain donors you'd be able to see what kinda loser you support in big jim the lazy fat ass welfare case.
You are such an insecure bitch...it's actually sad.
You've been living a big fat lie so long you don't even have a clue how to tell the truth anymore. Not even to yourself. It's truly pathetic. I feel sorry for you...... Just kidding. I could never feel sorry for somebody whos been buying whiskey and donuts with my tax money. Loser
You ever think if you weren't such a fat, lazy, drunk, you might actually be able to support yourself and not have to mooch a living off the taxpayers ? Gosh that must suck. You should really be ashamed of yourself.
Awww shucks, I've just been pretending jimmy boy. You know, kinda like you've been pretending you actually support yourself and don't take any gov't handouts.
Once again, I never lied about anything. Even though you are so threatened and insecure that you lash out at the ones still relevant while pretending to be a self made man, we don't have anything to hide.

Fire away pussy.
You've never been relevant you stupid fuuck. Relevant men support themselves and their families and don't have their hand out for charity donations from the taxpayer year after year. I pay taxes. You cost me money. I damn sure didn't take any from you. Pussy.
Tell yourself whatever you must so you can look at your pathetic self in the mirror jim. Lies and fairy tales are all you've got. Dignity, integrity and honesty ain't on the conrad menu. But hey, I can honestly say I've never seen such a big pussy in my life, so you've got that going for you.
That's the reasoning I've gotten in conversations about welfare in communities where it is a career. And it's across generations. It was more prevalent in one racial segment, but the last 35 years in my observation it has become more widespread. Working the system seems to be a career path in some quarters.
Since we have a mortgage, we are required by Federal Law to carry crop insurance. No way around it.
We have to purchase coverage every year so that if there is a bad year, of which there are historically 91 out of 100, the Risk Management Agency gives money to the insurance companies who then gives it back to the bank.
The bank then gives it back to the govt.
It never touches our greedy little fingers. Literally. It goes from Govt to Bank to Govt.
We borrow the money to buy the insurance to make sure we can make our payments to the people we borrowed the money from.
It used to be a direct payment, but the boomers got together and started selling crop insurance so that there was much more room for fraud.
The government doesn’t Give a rats ass about small farmers. They pay some subsidies to keep food cheaper because fat people don’t revolt. Not working to well under Bidet but there is still lots of food. You would have to be pretty SLow to turn down money when you are selling products under controlled prices. Edk

Look close you'll see Jims kids have been getting subsidies, so he is teaching them how to play the system too. Generational welfare is generational welfare, whether it's ghetto or corporate or FARMER welfare makes little difference, it still boils down to people who didn't earn money putting their hands out and taking it from people who did. I see people bitch on here CONSTANTLY, LIKE EVERY FUUCKIN DAY CONSTANTLY about welfare bums. I see them give a rash of shyt to boomers for getting their SS payments, I've watched this fuuckin welfare bum Jim Conrad calling seniors irrelevant and giving boomers a rash of shyt for fuucking YEARS when here's the fuucking proof he's been taking money from them and living a better life because of it all along. No wonder he drinks like a fish, every person in his family has their own dirt bike and he buys new guns and ammo by the case for his kids all the time. It ain't his money he's spending. Might as well blow it on booze and toys.
If you want to compare farm subsidies to welfare so be it. I'd rather give the money to some one working their ass off and trying to make things work verses some one not doing a damn thing in life besides taking and/or selling drugs.

Holy crap are you REALLY that big of a dumbass. YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME TO MAKE 20.6 posts a day on the internet, at all hours of the day, if you're working your ass off. You don't get drunk every night if you have to get up at the crack of dawn and work your ass off all day. You also don't weigh 450 fuuckin pounds if you're doing very damn much physical activity at all. My god you people are dense. Or is it just that you don't want to see what's right in front of you because jim is funny and your good little buddy ? You drove roundoak and safariman off here for being frauds, well here's proof of another one staring you smack dab in in the face.

Both my grandfathers and my uncle were farmers. Neither took any gov't handouts. They were proud, hard working men. I was there. I used to stay with them on weekends and for weeks on end during summer vacations. I saw how hard they worked. When I got older, I worked along side them. All day, every day. Later I worked and earned my living for two years as a full time farm hand. There wasn't time to be spent posting on the internet.

You do not tell me what to do sonny. This fuucking fat loser has been making shyt up about me and calling me a fraud and a liar for years. He's got every fuuckin last bit of it coming. One of the few fuuckin things in his life he's actually earned by the looks of it.
You've got a good sense of humor cash, I'll give you that. It's something I completely lack when it comes to people who have been making up lies and giving me shyt for years while simultaneously taking money from me.

To be fair, I don't believe they had an internet to post on.
While farm subsides are real and sometimes ridiculous, I don't think you can compare them to welfare. The government, in all their wisdom, has decided to manipulate markets with massive subsidies. All in the interest of the farmer I'm sure......
Corn is the biggest funny money game. All of the subsidies that we see out here have to do with environmental regulations. (Tractor too big of a polluter. Instead of letting you rebuild it, they give you $30,000 towards a new $120,000 machine) Could have rebuilt the old one for $15,000 but we are saving the world here. No real common sense need apply.) Not sure the farmer is getting ahead in this scenario. Also, farm subsidy numbers can look huge to the average person but usually have a very small effect on the total operation. If anyone saw my outputs, they would be shocked.
so farmers doing a wise job of the subsidy game to some is like welfare or thievery. but really how's it any different than the rich man and a good accountant learning how to use the tax laws to their advantage..
Kinda funny to watch a whole bunch of self proclaimed ultra conservatives make excuses for different people taking handouts. I guess it's just a matter of who's getting whos money for what. Might be better if everybody just kept their hands in their own pocketbooks. And I don't see it as comparable for someone taking as many tax deductions as they can. Those folks are just giving less of the money they earned to the gov't, not putting their hand out to take money other people worked for and earned. On a side note, you apparently have to ask to receive senior discounts on meals/coffee when dining out, at least around here. We've never asked and it's never been offered. Maybe it's just our youthful good looks keeping people from thinking we're old enough to qualify.
You been living off your ex wives and ssdi for decades probably.
See more fuucking lies from you. It's all you've got you lazy fat bastard. You're so used to living in fantasy land you think everbody else does. You ain't funny or smart, just fat, stupid and lazy.

You never saw me on here at that time on a weekday when I was still working because, well, I was actually working. I mean shyt, I had taxes to pay so .gov could give it to guys like you dontcha know.

Those lies, fairy tales and accusations have been repeated ad nauseum for years by the fat, lying slob. Why don't you ask him how hard he's working right now. Sonny. Seems like it's bean a real rough, ass buster of a morning for him again. He must be a real talented eskimo just posting away with his tongue, what with his hands so busy with work and all. LMAO

There you again, shirley
It is admittedly being used as a derogatory description for someone who seems to have the deductive and reasoning power of a child in this particular instance.
Geesus stop with the lies jimmy boy. It's to the point of just plain sickening.
#victim
When you tell lies and fairy tales about somebody, those people are in fact the victims of your lies jimmy. If you don't believe it, just ask a lawyer or judge what "defamation lawsuits" are all about. Geeze, you're even dumber than I thought.
This^^^ from someone with the vocabulary of a 6th grader along with the spelling skills of Wabi.
Really, what have I misspelled ? The fact is, my spelling skills are much better than many of the supposedly well educated and brilliant members here. In fact, with this very post your deductiive powers again prove to be lacking.

My pictures are none of your business. I don't have to prove or disprove anything. This is not a court of law. You have got to be a fuucking idiot to put personal pics on the internet today. The gov't and other criminals are watching and all with nefarious intention.
It's all fun & games right up until the steel toe meets the dog skull
That steel toe boot would be shoved so far up a boomer's azz if he kicked my dog.
You never saw the day you could put your boot in my ass. Keep your fuuckin dog away from me and mine and you'll have nothing to worry about. If it comes after me or my dog, count yourself lucky that I like dogs and only kicked it because I have the means and ability to kill it.

That steel toe boot would be shoved so far up a boomer's azz if he kicked my dog.

Fugging retard! Hahahaha!
You gonna use your cane?
No doubt you have a minds eye view of me that is incorrect. Lets's just say my physique is far better than yours and we'll leave it at that. But then again, whos isn't other than maybe santa clause or fat Albert ?
First he beats up and kills most of the people he "worked" for and now he's coming for Rum7 and his dog.
Seems well adjusted.
The only boss I ever laid a hand on laid his on me first. But here we are, once again with more of your made up stories, exaggerations and lies. You just can't help yourself.

Next you gonna cry about being scared of posting pictures.
My pictures are none of your business. I don't have to prove or disprove anything. This is not a court of law. You have got to be a fuucking idiot to put personal pics on the internet today. The gov't and other criminals are watching and all with nefarious intention.

OK Boomer.
LOL
You should see how far he can punt a teacup Yorkie when he feels threatened.
From satire to hatred, this thread has become derelict!
Bwahahahaha!
What did you expect? Civility?
You might try the Canada forum if you were.
Hey, almost neighbor, I haven't been too concerned what with the shoulder surgery and recovery and such, but when are you folks' tag drawing entry dates. I've got an appointment up there on Thurs and hope to be cleared to shoot soon. I'm thinking I'll put in for something to hunt up there this year as it's a lot shorted drive than going down to AZ as I have been doing.
Since we have a mortgage, we are required by Federal Law to carry crop insurance. No way around it.
We have to purchase coverage every year so that if there is a bad year, of which there are historically 91 out of 100, the Risk Management Agency gives money to the insurance companies who then gives it back to the bank.
The bank then gives it back to the govt.
It never touches our greedy little fingers. Literally. It goes from Govt to Bank to Govt.
We borrow the money to buy the insurance to make sure we can make our payments to the people we borrowed the money from.
It used to be a direct payment, but the boomers got together and started selling crop insurance so that there was much more room for fraud.
So there.
And that reply, is how you try to curb the rumor mill.
That's the reasoning I've gotten in conversations about welfare in communities where it is a career. And it's across generations. It was more prevalent in one racial segment, but the last 35 years in my observation it has become more widespread. Working the system seems to be a career path in some quarters.
Look close you'll see Jims kids have been getting subsidies, so he is teaching them how to play the system too. Generational welfare is generational welfare, whether it's ghetto or corporate or FARMER welfare makes little difference, it still boils down to people who didn't earn money putting their hands out and taking it from people who did. I see people bitch on here CONSTANTLY, LIKE EVERY FUUCKIN DAY CONSTANTLY about welfare bums. I see them give a rash of shyt to boomers for getting their SS payments, I've watched this fuuckin welfare bum Jim Conrad calling seniors irrelevant and giving boomers a rash of shyt for fuucking YEARS when here's the fuucking proof he's been taking money from them and living a better life because of it all along. No wonder he drinks like a fish, every person in his family has their own dirt bike and he buys new guns and ammo by the case for his kids all the time. It ain't his money he's spending. Might as well blow it on booze and toys.
Pay attention you guys. Blackhearts class in economics is now in session.
I think Blackheart bragged on here one time about liking to kick the schidt out of dogs whilst wearing them. Someone can correct me.
It wasn't a brag at all but as typical of campfire simpletons that's how you want to remember it. What I said is that one day I had my dog out for a walk and when a loose dog came after my dog, I kicked it in the ribs to avoid a fight and the resultant vet bills. Since I had previously said that I wear steel toed boots every day, the legendary stories, which are outright lies, were born. As usual, mostly because Jim Conrad the exaggerator and liar extraordinaire did his usual routine and kept repeating that I like to go around kicking the shyt out of every dog I come across with steel toed boots. I have no doubt that the croc and sandal wearing tough guy crowd here {lol} would either run away screaming like a little bitch with her hair on fire or quickly resort to shooting their way out of such a situation. It's not like they'd have a lot of options given their ghey choice in footwear.
There is no rule requiring crop insurance for mortgages, Maybe if you have a govt loan, but then you are paying low interest.
Somebody might want to verfy this. I know for a fact JC is not particularly honest and is prone to making up stories and exaggerration on a daily basis. And why wouldn't he be, It's easy to see by the number of posts and amount of time he spends on here that it's his whole life and he desperately seeks approval and admiration from his online admirers and buddies.
If you want to compare farm subsidies to welfare so be it. I'd rather give the money to some one working their ass off and trying to make things work verses some one not doing a damn thing in life besides taking and/or selling drugs.
Holy crap are you REALLY that big of a dumbass. YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME TO MAKE 20.6 posts a day on the internet, at all hours of the day, if you're working your ass off. You don't get drunk every night if you have to get up at the crack of dawn and work your ass off all day. You also don't weigh 450 fuuckin pounds if you're doing very damn much physical activity at all. My god you people are dense. Or is it just that you don't want to see what's right in front of you because jim is funny and your good little buddy ? You drove roundoak and safariman off here for being frauds, well here's proof of another one staring you smack dab in in the face.
Don't worry I think you're funny too, I just don't think you intend to be.
You been living off your ex wives and ssdi for decades probably.
See more fuucking lies from you. It's all you've got you lazy fat bastard. You're so used to living in fantasy land you think everbody else does. You ain't funny or smart, just fat, stupid and lazy. How hard you working right now jimmy boy ? I mean it's mid morning on a Tuesday out there. You never saw me on here at that time on a weekday when I was still working because, well, I was actually working. I mean shyt, I had taxes to pay so .gov could give it to guys like you dontcha know.
You should consult a dictionary for the first bolded word, once you have the definition down pat see if it fits your first sentence[bold again].
All you gotta do is go back through this one thread, to see the word "probably" was left out of many of fat jimmies made up stories about me. Those lies, fairy tales and accusations have been repeated ad nauseum for years by the fat, lying slob. Why don't you ask him how hard he's working right now. Sonny. Seems like it's bean a real rough, ass buster of a morning for him again. He must be a real talented eskimo just posting away with his tongue, what with his hands so busy with work and all. LMAO
WTF!!
Jim's an Eskimo?
This changes everything!! I don't like Eskimo's taking .gov monies......
I think it's probably because Blackie is a piece of shìt.
He will claim victim status soon.
So Ardis Conrad and Richard Conrad aren't your kids ? It shows they each received 17K in subsidy at your address.
Hahaha!
There may have been a little doubt before. But not now.
You are a piece of shìt.
Go kick some brambles douchbag.
I'm not the one taking handouts and teaching my kids how to cash in on the system. Generational welfare. Alive and well in bumfuuck Montana. It's all right there in the links posted earlier it's just that as is usual these fuucktards are well, too fuucktarded to look before flapping their gums. Oh, and lets be clear I didn't post the links to that information. Anybody else would have seen those names on the list if they'd bothered to look.

Let's face it jimmy, you don't ever tell the truth about anything anyway..
Come one. You have such high standards for everyone else.
Yet you can't back up any of your bullshit.
Did you lose your alimony checks in the flood too?
I never got any alimony checks jimmy. That's just another one of your fabrications. Commonly referred to as lies. You know, that thing you do every time your lips are moving.
Do you want to know about my other children Harpo, Groucho and Gummo?
Maybe Larry Curley and Moe?
Did they all get subsidies too ? Holy shyt, that's quite a racket you have going there. No wonder you don't have to do much other than eat donuts, drink whiskey and post on here all day.

Ok, but you are a lying braggart that can't back up his claims. We don't believe because you are a liar.
Half a dozen divorces and early retirement?
No record of you ever being a gunsmith.
I have supplied photo evidence of everything I ever claimed here. Even got doxxed by EdM.
Still have nothing to hide and have hidden nothing.
But but but you were a gunsmith......sure thing killer. We all believe you.

There you go again with more of your lies jimmy. There were never a half dozen divorces anywhere but in your made up lies. You need help. Either that or you'd better get out of the pretending to farm and collecting subsidies business and become a politician. You were made for that and could put Joe Biden to shame. I never said there were no records or photos either. I just choose not to show them to you.
I don't know about anybody else and you can call me crazy, but I thought that in the current environment, it was almost impossible to maintain a working farm without subsidies.
I know zero about farming, even though both my parents' came from farming families. When I was a wee one, I spent some summers on my Mom's parents' farm in Wisconsin. Both sets of grandparents eventually sold off the land and got out of farming. All of my uncles on my Dad's side were farmers. That never got out of either of my parents' blood. But, I never knew anything about the actual "business" of farming.
I've heard the argument many times that it's impossible to maintain a farm of any size any more without subsidies.

Like find another woman to pay you to leave?
I imagine it's easier to just take a cool million in subsidies than to find a woman that would pay anything to a man. Don't ya think jimmy ?

Did the Hardy Boys tell you that Detective Dipshìt?
I got some drought money for my cows. It might have been a delayed payment from 2022 but I can't remember and the paperwork is with the tax man.
It amounted to about 2% of my total income and I honestly don't feel guilty because I'm the poor bastard who gets to feed cows everyday from Halloween through Memorial Day.
some people get all twisted up about the Federal "farm bill" little do most realize the biggest expense in that is the food stamp system..
How many people you think get a million dollars worth of food stamps ?
how many food stamps recipients do you think have a $100 million to a billion in assets tied up... in one of the lowest profit margin businesses there is...
The Gov. involved in farming........has to be a plus, right?
They are a positive addition to any situation !!
It's horrible.
It doesn't reduce prices for consumers, it increases profits for John Deere and Bayer.
But you get free guns and motorcycles and trucks and dinner with Tulsi Gabbard and farm equipment, and fuel and feed and free childcare, cornhole boards., chickens...........

1. Jim Conrad had dinner with Tulsi Gabbard. 2. cisco1and Calnum did the cornhole. 3. Blackheart has been divorced 37 times
did I miss anything?
I learned welfare programs are OK for some people but not for others and it's better for some people to take other peoples money than for other people to get back their own money when they get old.

In your opinion do you think it dishonorable to take a farm subsidy?
Did you take the Covid payment?
Yes
No
I admit the USDA subsidy system is a wasteful government boondoggle but I find it hard to criticize those who take advantage of it. I am surprised that you did not take the Covid payment so I will assume it wasn't offered to you.
The USDA subsidies are pushed by the machinery and ag chemical companies, and the big retailers like Walmart and Kroger push the food stamp program. They are the ones that end up with the money except for my payments. I stick mine in my pocket.
I know 2 or 3 people that work for cash and just quit filing taxes at all years ago and they didn't get a Covid check, but they wisely kept quiet about it.

So what about people getting food stamps ? I mean a lot of low wage workers get them. Aren't they just taking advantage of the program as well ? I mean if they're working a low wage job and taking advantage of a program they're eligible for, how are they any different than the farmer taking advantage of the program ?
Albany's an hour and 45 minute drive. I haven't been there in 13 years. I stay the hell away from cities as much as possibe. I find it rare to have a need.
He literally hunts on subsidized land (government land)
Anyone who was ever employed by any company/organization that wrote down the value of a depreciating asset has benefited from a "subsidy" also.
I mean a real conservative would tell the business owner............"did you expect that piece of equipment to not get old and worn out?"
To argue this point with Blacky is futile. He thinks he has landed a big punch on Big Jim. His obsession is palpable. Facts be damned.
Jimmy never let facts get in the way of a good lie about me. He deserves everything he gets.
Got the victim thing going all ready!
Good job.
Kick any good dogs or killed their owners lately?
You've told more lies than anybody I've ever seen. And picked more shyt with me, You more than earned everything you've gotten. As it turns out, probably one of the few things you've legitimately earned in your life. You obviously have most here bull shytted into believing you're an honest hard working man. It's obvious that's a lie. I've been around farmers all my life. None had the time to waste on the internet that you do. They needed both hands to work.
He literally hunts on subsidized land (government land)
That land was bought with taxpayer and hunting license dollars of which I've paid my share.
And?
So I didn't get anything I haven't paid for. I go to the movies once in awhile too. I didn't have to buy the theatre. Have you gotten an extra million in subsidies too ?

Were you one of the ones bitching about boomers and their collecting of "entitlements" ? How about food stamp recipients ? You one of the people that bitches about them too ? It sure seems to depend on who's getting what whether it's OK or not.
Just sum data if so🤔 Construction on the stadium began in August 2006, and the project spanned many years and faced many controversies, including the high public cost and the loss of public park land. The $2.3 billion stadium was built with $1.2 billion in public subsidies[7] and is one of the most expensive stadiums ever built.[25]

You're just pissed because somebody sees you for the loathsome creature you are jimmy boy. You are not an honest man jimmy, that's a cold, hard fact, yet you call me a liar constantly with zero evidence of same. You are lacking in integrity, honor, ambition, self respect and humility. If you posessed any of those things, you wouldn't constantly have your hand out for all you can get that you didn't earn, you wouldn't be a drunk, you wouldn't make your wife and kids do most of the manual labor while you sit on your ass in the truck or tractor posting on the campfire and you wouldn't be here telling more lies with every post. You are a slob jimmy. Only you can do something about that.
All these young whippersnappers with their Boomer hating has left me scarred. I’m going to head down to the SS office and get me some disability money to go with my government pension and my SSI benefits. Then I’m heading down to the Senior Center for some free cheese.

Too late for the free Senior Lunch there by now, no?
Do they have the Early Dining Discount at the local Appleby's? Maybe you can still get in on that.
The whole point is, you've got people on here that like to rag on folks getting/collecting Social Security/medicare, whatever, yet everybody thinks it's fine for a farmer to collect a million in subsidies. Seems like hypocritical bullshyt to me.

Life's not fair for victims.
As somebody whose successfully victimized the taxpayers a million times over for his personal gain, you should know.
It's not fair!
Fugg off banty.
You are bogus right down to your "steel toe" dog and neighbor kickers.
Wabi ain't on here being a nasty kuunt every day like some. In fact, I've never seen a cross word from him, yet he gets ragged on and put down constantly. Shame on the ass holes that participate in that. May you burn in hell right along with ribka.

Not once have I ever said a cross word or made a derogatory comment to or about wabi. I never could stand people who picked on or bullied people like that. To those types I say, grow the fuuck up you POS.
Blackheart: Blame the system, not the man that takes what is offered.
Actually the government has been subsidizing farmers and railroads since about the civil war. I have a 1/4 undivided interest in my great grandfathers homestead that he settled on in 1887 and obtained the patent to about 5 years later. I have a copy of the homestead patent signed by whoever was acting for President Benjamin Harrison.
If you will look at the farm subsidy data base you will find that the man you are criticizing is actually one of the lesser recipients in the USDA programs. It is a bad system that is badly abused but it is pushed by the ag businesses that sell the inputs.

I don't want to rile anyone.
My point all along is that if you are drawing off of society, you ought not run down the people paying and doing the hard work.
Booms be thankful that there are still a few slaves willing to do what it takes to keep this country rolling along.
Blackshart, you pooped your pants, again....
I just did some quick math.
Our 'household' spending is around $500 per day so far this year. $40k/80 days into '24. That is called working for your welfare and reinvesting all your cheese back into America.

Is there a difference?
For a family farm operation?
What about a small business run out of a plumber's house-hold? You know, an office area, garage/shop for plumbing parts and the plumber truck(s)?
Growing up a friend's dad had a backhoe business. Digging ditches for plumbers and electricians on housing tracts and single homes and such. Eventually my friend started working for his dad, they got enough business to sometimes keep a third operator busy too. Mom kept all the paperwork straight. Fuel tank and hydraulic oil drums in the side yard driveway. Basically a "household" business.
But Sam has said he doesn't own anything, just an employee. (If I found that statement, I'm not trained enough to paste it) How could working the ranch as an employee turn his "household into spending $500 per day? Impossible.
Even if owned, household, vs. operation a considerable gap.

Have you seen the vet bill on his rez dogs lately?

Where did you grow up Ed? When you drink, your posts are dripping with I'm better than everyone, obnoxiously so....
Ed might have a superiority thing & he might drink & post, or might post au naturelle, do you know?. But Jim poked at boomers many many times. Maybe tongue in cheek, or serious. Never the less, he poked, & poked some more. He surely was looking to poke the bear. Surprisingly, the bear awoke. It was ED. Simply giving some of the accusations back, with aplomb I might add. What's the beef?

No real beef whatsoever on this topic other than the government website he cited is notoriously convoluted and misleading but it's a data point nonetheless. Bit of a stretch to conclude what was insinuated if there was some experience with the site. I don't know Jim but Jim's a good guy from all angles IMO even if he has a Boomer beef. He knows it too I suspect but that's where the alcohol and emotion come into play. Lord knows over the many years I may have made some posts with a few beers in me....grin...

Yeah, no. I said you shouldn't bad mouth the E7 helping to pay for your retirement.
That doesn't sit well with boomers for wtf reason. It apparently causes seemingly grown men to doxx people.
It would be very interesting to know if the generations preceeding the Boomers ran down the people paying for their retirements the same way the boomers run down the people paying for theirs.

Excellent...
Begs the question of what % of Americans pay SS et al... and what % receive it eventually. It is FORCED ya know... after all.
My wife lost her dad when she was 4... she got some SS money... and some GI Bill stuff... same same?
I get $$$ from USDA for working their fugged up system LIKE A BOSS.
My guess is that 90%+ of Americans get some kind of payment (or financial benefit) from .GOV... every single year.
Hell... the gas in your car is subsidized with the .GOV ethanol... we all love.
My new Tundra will zero out with a 179 deduction.
The entire system is fugged... Only a true dolt will forego working it.
you will never convince some folks that some folks can't be convinced.
I disagree
I'm told I'm a boomer, so I disagree with everything, drink too much, fuss at loud music and live off the government dole. Learned all that right here in this here thread.

Happy News when I get these SS notices. 2023 was a bit less COLA, same for 2024.
Quote
Approximately 70 million Americans will see a 5.9% increase in their Social Security benefits and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments in 2022. Federal benefit rates increase when the cost-of-living rises, as measured by the Department of Labor’s Consumer Price Index (CPI-W).
Is it a coincidence that as Boomers have been retiring form the work force and their Gen-X kids and their Gen-X kids' Millennial kids have had the responsibility of carrying this country, that it has been going to hell?

For the most part Boomers didn't do a very good job of raising their urchins[especially the latter stage of Boomers].
We made it pretty clear to ours that he was on his own upon exiting college. We also made him borrow 'some tuition dollars' just so that he would have some skin in the game. He's now a specialized welder working his azz off and making bank.
OTOH- wife has two cousins that are more like sisters that 'raised'[term used lightly] one child each that are both 100% leaches on society as well as convicted felons.
Parenting, you're either 100% in or you're destined to fail.
I seem to remember quite a bit of generational conflict when I was a kid in the sixties.
and I dont.....maybe being oblivious is a good trait. honestly I never heard any of the bitterness like I hear on this forum.
never blamed the generation before us for my problems ....just put my head down and worked, like everybody else I knew....bob
Same here Bob. We were taught to respect our elders 'round here. If I'd have lipped off to my elders like these punks do these days my dad would have back handed me into the middle of next week. I'd have done the same for my kids. You don't complain about supporting your elders when they get old unless you're a spineless punk. They supported you when you were young, put food in your mouth from the day you were born, kept a roof over your head, sent you to school. It's your turn to support them when they get old.

The Greatest Generation learned how to survive the Great Depression and won World War II. They sucked at raising kids (general statement). The hippies, flower children etc were their children. LBJ was part of the greatest generation, look at his Great Society legacy. Most of the boomer's children or at least in their thirties, and yes to a great degree we (born in 1963) sucked at raising kids. But if you ask a Gen X they think there Generation is the best.
There are plenty of good boomers and plenty of good kids of all ages whatever "generation" they are considered. Lots of bad also and plenty of fault to go around for the mess we are in now as a country.

Alot of posts deal with " my father and Grandfather raised hardworking, respectful, men of men". If that's true and the reason that your generation has those values, and the current ones don't, where's the disconnect?

Not too many hippies or flower children around here... ever. We had an anti-war demonstration at Ole Miss in about ‘71 and I think three idjits showed up. I think they were standing around for about an hour and then left because they weren’t getting any attention.
Like a bunch of boomers sitting around waiting for their checks...
Bunch of free grazing right there on the right of way?
Folks down the road a bit take advantage of it here too. Unlike your schoolbus driver, I've given up on contacting them, bu phone or by stopping up at the house. They moved in a couple of years back and there doesn't seem to be any slowing down their sheep, goats, or cattle from getting in the road.

My neighbor down the road has goats, pigs, ducks, geese, chickens and turkeys that used to be in the road all the time. Seems to keep them contained better now after somebody ran over a bunch of his fowl one day and then all of his goats mysteriously diappeared never to be seen again.

I you want to go with that narrative, and blame the current or past generation, would they not be a product of previous generations? The mouthy, disrespectful, lazy morons of today were raised by Boomer kids. Agreed ?
Nah, they were raised by the public schools.
Nuns would never let us get away with any of the scheidt kids get away with.
You wouldn't recognize school today.
Maybe Catholic school...but not public school.
Heard some stuff at a Rifle and Pistol Assoc meeting last night, way off topic as it had drifted some, that was kinda scary. Also found out that a private, religious based, school in the little town to the west of our county seat is full up with people trying to get their kids in.
Seems odd to blame the boomers for the state of schooling, as the last of the boomers wouldn't be having many kids after 2005 and we're 19 years past that now. (wink wink, nod nod...........don't blame me!)

My boomer, and Silent Gen teachers were much better than the teachers the kids have now.
Like a bunch of boomers sitting around waiting for their checks...
Bunch of free grazing right there on the right of way?
Folks down the road a bit take advantage of it here too. Unlike your schoolbus driver, I've given up on contacting them, bu phone or by stopping up at the house. They moved in a couple of years back and there doesn't seem to be any slowing down their sheep, goats, or cattle from getting in the road.
My neighbor down the road has goats, pigs, ducks, geese, chickens and turkeys that used to be in the road all the time. Seems to keep them contained better now after somebody ran over a bunch of his fowl one day and then all of his goats mysteriously diappeared never to be seen again.
My old hired man totalled his pickup one night on a black cow owned by people that always had cows on the road.
Somehow....he got a tow home and it was never called in.
The next day the owners of the cow were interrogating the whole town to find who killed their cow.
They were gonna make the person pay.
They never did find out who it was....and they got enough pressure that they had to fix their fence.

It was just a matter of time before somebody ran over some of my neighbors stock. There's a dip in the road in front of his place that prevented seeing the critters in the road until you were right on top of them and people unfamiliar with the situation didn't have much reaction time to avoid it.
As a late boomer, in 1979 I got my first suspension for wearing a T-shirt where Mickey Mouse was flipping off Iran.
That was when I started to realize what was liberal and conservative.
First time I was called a racist was 1982 when I was senior. I was nominated for the top spot in the high school senior class popularity contest. So was a very popular black basketball player. He had stolen my gym clothes when we were freshman, so I didn't vote for him. I was asked by the captain of the cheerleaders who I was voting for. Certainly would not vote for myself. I voted for a guy that was the real deal good person.
She called me a racist for not voting for the basketball guy.
Point is, schools have been pushing stupidity for 40 years.
I've actually thought about PM'ing you about them, JC.
What breed and how many do you have? In another video that came up after your other one was over, I thought I counted 5?
Do they live with the sheep all of the time? Do they come home to eat and head back out to do their jobs again?
Those types of working dogs fascinate me, that is why I ask.
8 at the moment.
The original ones were Great Pyrenees and the stud dog was Anatolian Sheppard.
We got a batch of pups and sold a few of them. They were 50 50 GP and AS.
Then....one of the pups got bred by her brother....and we got three more.
They are good dogs.
They are with the sheep 24/7. We keep a sheep proof dog feeder out in the pasture for them.
Sometimes some of them leave to chase something off...or they will come home to make a patrol.
One or two might stay if there are sheep and lambs at home.
They are pretty incredible animals and it has been fun learning about them.
Very cool. We don't have any working dogs around here anymore just house pets but they are good alarm dogs. A possum can't walk across the back yard at night without they let us know.

The worst Boomers flee CA to Idaho then snowbird in Tejas.
I will have to ask him next time i see him how it turned out.
You may need to factor in all that is withheld from that 90K. Social Security, Medicare, State Taxes, Insurance, etc. But it sounds about right that half of 90K would go in his pocket, all things considered.
I think that’s because in the month that you were paid the bonus, that huge pay check was seen as a paycheck that someone in a higher tax bracket would get.

Jim, that's an interesting mix. Did you purposefully breed the first GP and AS? If so, what gave you the idea? Is it a common combo for such work?
Our first dog was a Pyrenees/Kangal cross. He was fixed though.
The Anatolian we got next was intact.
Next came the two GP bitch pups. We were more or less trying to find enough dogs to do the job at that time.
The cross came about out of necessity really...but we were excited because Anatolians are a little more aggressive than GPs usually. Anatolians also tend to post up outside the sheep on a high spot and watch. Even working the perimeter...where as GP are in the herd all the time.

Get out there and work on some fences, Conrad. Nobody gives a fugk the ground is frozen. My uncle drank a sodie pop and ate planter’s peanuts in two big gulps every Friday and Saturday. You are a POS .gov dole paraprecipient.

Yep. That's how it was when I received my annual STIP bonus from my employer.

From memory when I was an employee and earned bonuses they were taxed much higher than regular wages.
Seem to remember the same....................
Yea man, they treatee that chit like a “windfall”
my longevity used to chopped a terrible whack right out of the gate
Our bonus’s ( twice a year) are taxed at 41 percent, counting all deductions, It’s a painful hit,
If it did indeed push me into a temporary higher tax bracket, then you would think I still wouldn’t be getting hammered at the end of year, But I am,,,, makes no sense. It never fugging ends…..
Booms be thankful that there are still a few slaves willing to do what it takes to keep this country rolling along.
Blackshart, you pooped your pants, again....
I just did some quick math.
Our 'household' spending is around $500 per day so far this year. $40k/80 days into '24. That is called working for your welfare and reinvesting all your cheese back into America.
Your household? You, your wife in a dwelling? Or the farming operation, the buis. a diff.
That's not including any work related expenses, just household chit, it's crazy!
But Sam has said he doesn't own anything, just an employee. (If I found that statement, I'm not trained enough to paste it) How could working the ranch as an employee turn his "household into spending $500 per day? Impossible.
Even if owned, household, vs. operation a considerable gap.
Have you seen the vet bill on his rez dogs lately?
That dog....lol
Can't remember if I whined about how much my sweet little wife paid to get ol' Lucy the big rez pup all fixed up but it was worth every penny.
I don't own any land but do own my cows, a small interest in a grazing association and a couple pieces of work related equipment. Guess we did recently buy an ATV and I included that in my 'stimulating' the economy post but the household spending is still large and quite stimulating. Not gonna say what I spent on guns and ammo so far this year but it's yuge, yuge I tell ya!
lol
And I'm also not going to explain how fun it is to pay taxes when you don't have any children and low overhead...
Not once have I ever said a cross word or made a derogatory comment to or about wabi. I never could stand people who picked on or bullied people like that. To those types I say, grow the fuuck up you POS.

Wow! rough year. I was just trying to understand if private home expenditures or using the home as a business base. I do understand how that works & pretty much what can be written off as a business expense, even down to part of the laundry bill.
We had to replace central heat/air last year but comparing, we got off easy. About 7 grand.

You got a problem with wabi he collects as well Wabi ain't on here being a nasty kuunt every day like some. In fact, I've never seen a cross word from him, yet he gets ragged on and put down constantly. Shame on the ass holes that participate in that. May you burn in hell right along with ribka. 🤔

That's basically the rule here in our county. As far as I have been able to determine, all the unincorporated parts (basically all except the County seat) are open range. Hit a cow, or sheep, or any other critter on the list, you pay the farmer.

The house we lived in until I was nine had multiple leaks in the roof, we used to think it was great fun to get out the pots and pans to catch the leaks when it rained. Also had an old hardwood floor that was rough as a cob. I had four older brothers, we'd run down the hall in our socks and see how far we could slide. Wasn't unusual to get a splinter in your foot, about as big around as your little finger. We did walk to school, and it was one mile each way.

Jetsons a smartass. I never have had much use for the type myself.
ead, I never had any interaction with you. All of your posts are fights with other members, no need to get involved. You decided to come at me in this thread.
Now I understand the loathing towards you.
I've watched your smartassery here for years and am not impressed. You've left me alone so I've left you alone. You posted a smartass comment to me first in this thread. You brought my reply on yourself. It has been my experience that the smartass types almost always cause problems on the job that leads to themselves and those around them getting less done than would be the case without them. I usually got rid of them fairly quickly.
BlackRock Inc. Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink :
“It’s no wonder younger generations, Millennials and Gen Z, are so economically anxious,” Fink wrote in the letter to BlackRock investors Tuesday. “They believe my generation – the baby boomers – have focused on their own financial well-being to the detriment of who comes next. And in the case of retirement, they’re right.”
Got my monthly check today. Haven't figured lately if my personal contributions are still paying my way & not too good at figuring compounding interest.
But whatever,,,, I feel I'm as ENTITLED to it as any wetback from any other country.
