A good way to look at it is boomers lived in the easiest time period in human evolution. At least we don’t live in a time when some feudal lord owns us as indentured servants and can send us off to war to fight with swords and bow and arrows because he’s mad his cousin has a nicer castle or something. Or you could have been a legit slave forced to do back breaking manual labor and living in a barn next to horse shit and if you disobeyed they literally would cut your nuts off.

This didn't happen. Indentured servitude came into existence during the colonies. Peasantry served the lord in return for protection, but were free to forfeit that protection and leave.

>and can send us off to war to fight with swords and bow and arrows
Maybe not with bows and arrows, but you absolutely can be drafted and sent to die.

>Or you could have been a legit slave forced to do back breaking manual labor and living in a barn next to horse shit and if you disobeyed they literally would cut your nuts off.

All those houses in cities that cost 400k were not near economic hubs back then.
The same cities are enormous today. You can't expect economic centralization and concentration to mean that the same house will be cheaper today. the boomers settled empty towns, if you want the same houses you can settle empty towns too

>> No.55125566

>>55125539
>economic hub
irrelevant. as recently as 30 years ago average jobs in suburban and rural areas begot 1200-1500 square foot homes on small plots of hand. today you need an 80th percentile household income to buy that same home on that same plot of land -- average jobs are no longer sufficient. it has nothing to do with population growth, it has everything to do with the financialization of real estate, the debasement of fiat, and the erosion of middle class purchasing power.

What the fuck kind of brainwashing did they do to you people? Boomer this Boomer that - you lump millions of people into a category of assumptions based only on their age? As if they were all in on something that was designed to make your life harder…ha ha wtf? Boomers had no idea of what era they were in relative to this one or what advantages they had. The same is true for any generation - there is zero logic in blaming previous generations for shit that only became apparent after the fact! It’s a fallacy called “presentism”. It’s like blaming your 5 year old self for mistakes you made based on what you know now. Doesn’t fucking compute Sonny Jim. Also, not every single boomer came out on top. Not every black person is a criminal - not every white person has an advantage - these are individuals and each is responsible only for the decisions they made - quit blaming people and do something about your situation - boomers have nothing to do with it.

If you want to blame a group you should blame the central banks and the people who took us off the good standard in the 70s bc that’s the reason everything went to shit after that as far as economics goes.

Ok I’ll bite and assume you are actually born in the 50s. To put it in the simplest terms, the Millennial generational angst towards Baby Boomers arises from the “why can’t you just do what I did?” attitude that is the norm amongst that generation. Are some boomers based? Yes, but they are few and far between. Most of them are oblivious of the “unintended consequences” of the globalized economy their generation ushered in.

There’s no use crying over spilled milk and it is what it is. HOWEVER, the “I did it so can you” attitude is a bit much tbph.

Your argument would only make sense if the boomers were all dead. They're still alive and remain in favor of the exact same dogshit 60's policies and mentality. Ignorance isn't a valid argument when they're able to look out the window and visibly see the complete terraforming of the world before their eyes financially, demographically, politically, and spiritually. Keeping their house values alive at 10x is all that matters. This seemingly reductionist take makes perfect sense in the world when you analyze every single policy and line of legal code that was written in the past 50 years.

Boomers will be remembered as the only generation in human history that commenced economic warfare against their own children, defying every law we thought we knew about evolutionary biology and human psychology.

Now that he saw us all, poor sinners, being scammed in biz, he decided that the best way to get us out of the way of evil is to create his own currency and so it was, the next day Jesus Christ launched his own currency, JESUS Token, in order to give us back what we lost.
