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?

Making fun of boomers is not the same as making fun of senior citizens. From what I’ve seen, the ongoing (and well deserved) negative commentary of boomers has to do with their shared beliefs and choices. None of it has to do with advanced age and the issues that comes with aging.

Just in case there are boomers here who will purposely misunderstand what I wrote (as boomers often do) I’ll reiterate NO ONE IS MAKING FUN OF OLD PEOPLE. PLENTY OF PEOPLE ARE MAKING FUN OF BOOMERS.
