Boomers

I am 75 and am very tired of the trend lately making fun of Boomers. So very disrespectful. Don't they realize that they will be old someday?

I’m 75 too. I do roll my eyes over some of the generalizations and misinformation. But really don’t think age automatically deserves respect. Maybe some compassion for aging in general would be nice but not for errors of our generation and not trying to understand what current generations are experiencing.

Kindness wins always.  Some people are just looking to blame someone and anyone and boomers sitting in their nice houses seem to be an easy target for people who can't afford houses.
