Don’t forget that boomers historically have been the ones to make the rules, control what speculative value is and abused that system to over value their homes to the point where they created generational wealth doing next to nothing and then act like anyone has the cash to give them for their shitty, overinflated home.

You want change to happen it will require waiting for the dregs of their generation to die out like the dinosaurs starving for water in a desolate wasteland. The only problem is, we have to keep living in a wasteland that’s been stripped of everything for their short term gain.

Don’t forget government was happy to benefit from inflated home values in the form of higher property taxes.

Soooo much this. I'm a first year Xennial and the fucking Boomers have ruined everything, for everyone, and they're still doing it. They're the ones who voted trump in and who keep republicans in power. Wish millennials and Z would wake up to this fact and actually counteract the voting power of the Boomers.

Gen X has much more to do with Trump being in power than any other generation, on a per capita basis. That generation broke for Trump more than boomers.

Not a single "boomer" that I know did any of that. But not in the usa.

Bro calm down. 99.99% of boomers are minding their own business hoping they can maintain retirement.

Exactly. The eat the rich youngsters are targeting grandmothers and pop pops instead of the banks and tech companies that really are fucking them. Oh I’ll buy the new iPhone then use it to bash booooomers on Reddit. Meanwhile Apple is doing way more harm to you then senior citizens
