Lmaooo stfu. 2008 was 15 years ago. I can't believe your stupid fucking generation couldn't buy the dip, all you had to do was buy literally anything and watch your money more than double. Meanwhile us zoomers got fucked with 30% inflation, no dip in the housing market, covid lockdowns, the recession and high interest rates.

this has to be bait, obviously yes it is the fault of the boomers. They literally put legislation in place to make it very difficult to build new houses in order to increase the value of their own homes, not to mention its boomers who purchased dirt cheap houses after the 2008 crash through various hedge funds (particularly Blackrock) and are now holding young people hostage. What the hell do zoomers have to do with how awful the world is today?

you can get finance for a house tomorrow zoomie.
you had generational dip to buy not 3 years ago as your entry to the market and missed it.
it's a skill issue. you could've just bought the dip and been a millionaire and that was a handicap that gave you even more opportunity than the boomers in a single quarter. but unfortunately I guess the boomers prevented you from the oil tanker meme and GME shorts too right?

I'm a young millenial not a zoomer, and I have a job. I just think its ridiculous blaming zoomers or young people in general for society going to shit. Lack of work ethics? No shit, you need meaning to be willing to work hard, which young men have been robbed of entirely in western societies. Lack of morals? oh because boomers who sold out their countries and children in every possible way just for their own benefit have good morals I suppose? What a fucking joke. Yeah zoomers are fucked up, but they're not responsible for the shit environment that made them so

>> No.56492402

How about being responsible for yourself?
Name a single thing you've ever done out of your own power and motivation that was altruistic and meant anything to anyone besides your immediate environment?
How come you weren't interesting enough to go viral?
So every unsuccessful boomer of the older generation (90% of them) is just as culpable of those who enjoy the benefits of the 1%?
>but they're not responsible for the shit environment that made them so
not responsible for bringing it about. no.

What the fuck are you talking about? the point of this thread was who is at fault for bringing about the shit society we currently live in, not my own personal situation. Yes you can always make it, but a smaller and smaller percentage of people can as the scales are so heavily tilted against the average young person. The average or even below average boomer could afford a good life and fulfill most of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The average young person today doesn't have shit and won't ever have shit. Not everyone is exceptional by definition, and that's what you have to be more and more to make it. I don't know why I'm explaining anything to you, what are these questions like
> How come you weren't interesting enough to go viral?
guess what a lot of us don't want to be online celebrities, that's just pathetic. I am taking ownership of my own situation and trying to make it my own way, but blaming young people for where we are is absurd you old shit

oldest zoomers would have been 22.
markets had unregulated securities tied to tokenised assets on unregulated exchanges with no KYC/AML. You got to grow up in the app garden and barely learnt how to meme let alone how to source information. I used to be much more optimistic about the hope for the future. But I think hard work and applied skill skips every other generation. I guess someone needs to make philosophy majors.

Yes it would be a good idea for zoomers to cut all of this out of their budget, but let's stop cappin here - do the math on how much they'd save if they cut ALL of those out, and even then, it won't come anywhere CLOSE to what they need to be saving for a new house.
