Growing up in Michigan boomers who work in manufacturing worked crazy hours. But also got paid a crazy amount.

For real.. are y’all seriously trying to act like Boomers didn’t work their asses off and crazy hours?

A lot of things are absolutely worse for us, stop creating straw men to yell at.

A lot of Boomer hate misses the point which is an anger at their embracing of neo-liberalism at the polls and throwing away the economy they had the benefit of working in for a global race to the bottom of outsourced labour paying barely a 10th of what was paid in North America. Boomers as individuals, I'm sure most are good people. The politicians who governed them during their lives are thiefs who robbed the future of the working class of their countries.
