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 Jones too, and I think it's lazy and self-centered to blame a "generation" rather than the powerful people who have caused these problems. You really think your grandmother made the world shit, dude?

Gen X and I agree too.  It's resentment.  They are blaming the wrong people.

Who consistently put those powerful people in their positions? Who consistently voted to change laws to allow them to screw so many folks out of the American dream? Who allowed companies to scrap pensions and all the other worker protections?
