Boomers are the WORST.GENERATION.EVER

likefunnyuplifting

The Silent Gen was basically skipped over.
Only two presidents were from the silent generation - the current atrocity and the previous idiot. We went from the Greatest Gen as Presidents (Carter, Reagan, Bush) to Boomers as President (Clinton, Bush, Obummer). Then had to backtrack a generation so they wouldn’t feel so Silent.

Because they won’t blame themselves.

Love that they blame younger generations as if they weren’t the ones who raised them lol

This is the similar argument I make when boomers complain about “participation trophies”, as if they weren’t the ones handing them out to their loser kids

They are the “Me” generation.

Because my generation was the last good generation.

Millennials get a bad wrap.
Gen Z would give The Boomers a run for their money but The Boomers have cemented their status after they’ve managed to destroy the golden goose of prosperity and freedom in the name of ‘equity.’

Nah. I’ve got some GenZer’s and I have more hope that they can fix things than cause more problems. I reciprocate and blame boomers, and quiet ones, for Millennial woes.

Because the majority of them were never parented, and they're still stuck in childhood mentalities.

I love sunny weather so much; it significantly elevates my mood, which is a free lunch! The summer in NY was amazing but considering taking a precautionary step for the winter by relocating for a couple/few months to a sunny place like Miami. My job accommodates this.

Have you heard of anyone doing such climate-based back-and-forth? Any tips or advice? Also, how’s Miami for a New Yorker?
TIA!

I’m so lonely I forgot what feeling wanted feels like. It’s almost as if I’m numb to the human need of feeling desired and I’ve accepted my fate of solitude. I’m not sad about this, that’s what makes it numb. Life feels bland but not terrible. I have no expectations of anyone to ever want me nor am I resentful that I am alone. Is this normal?
