Gaudy suburbanite Baby Boomer trash.

I hate that fucking generation so much. They're responsible for everything bad in America.

I like how it implies it's okay for companies to keep fucking their employees on benefits because "you might get a caddy" when in reality, they're going to get a hospital bill they could never afford and declare bankruptcy. lol.

Wait until their children can't afford to keep them in nice nursing homes. Those Reaganite Yuppie bastards will understand what it means to struggle financially then.

Baby boomers are every CEman's parents or grand parents. Show some respect

I liked that guy as the villian in that season of Justified.

How to Baby Boomer

Destroy economy
Destroy environment
Force all future generations to take excessive debt just to have an education
Retire w/ pensions
Delay solutions for Medicare insolvency until after they're gone

Surely this is the first and last time a generation blames all their problems on the previous generation. Just as I'm sure when millennials grow up they will be the first generation in the history of mankind to NOT claim their way is better than the next generation's way of doing things.

To be fair the Millennials objectively are the first generation to be poorer than their parents' generation.

Do you consider the concept of "generation" to be some new fangled idea that only took off in the last 50 years? Because I'm sure all the kids who grew up during the great depression would disagree with your assessment.

You mean the "greatest generation"?
The ones that all got houses with the GI bill and went on to inherit a booming post war economy with little global market competition?

So are you comparing millennials now in their 30s to the great depression kids in their 30s, or are you comparing millennials now to the great depression kids at the end of their life?

Guys can you please tone down your bigotry. My mother and stepfather are boomers
---

I have never heard of a Boomer complaining about the Greatest Generation because they were objectively good. They survived the Great Depression, they defeated the literal fucking Nazis, then they turned America into an economic superpower.

What did the Boomers do? They indulged on drugs, drank excessively, preached about love in Woodstock, denounced authority, then in the 80s they did a complete reversal and fell in love with materialism and turned credit into a massive fucking industry.

And what are they doing now? Buying stupid flashy fucking cars and Mcmansions, living paycheck to paycheck, too fucking stupid to save up money and retire so they get in the way of millennials looking for jobs. They will continue working until they're fucking 90, stupid dinosaurs that get in the way of the productive workers. And then they blame these young millennials for an economy that they were forced into.

"Hay guyz let's hand wave away the many faults of baby boomers because other have/may mess up too."

Shut the fuck up.

By the time the "kids" of the great depression were in their 30's, the great depression was over and they would be reaping the benefits I mentioned above. Maybe they had a rough childhood but 30 to 30, they won out.

Then you can't compare the current plight of millennials until they're old, because who knows what the next 40 years will bring for them.

Are you incapable of critical thought or do you just legitimately think "well if it happened before it's not worth complaining about" is a valid point? Which it isn't btw as the greatest generation didn't kill off all the programs that helped them be successful.

Are you incapable of considering that maybe millennials AREN'T some uniquely disadvantaged group and that all this bitching amounts to nothing? You grew up with the fucking internet. You're children of the tech boom. Millennials are rich off Tesla, Google, Facebook, etc. Every generation fucks up in some way, and I'm not making excuses for boomers. I'm saying you're no worse off than any other generation so grow the fuck up.
---

Millennial hate of boomers is works than boomer hate of millennials
---

You fucking brought up "kids in the great depression" so I was comparing how they faired by the time they were 30 to the 30y/o millennials. Fair game.

But keep trying this generation relativist bullshit as if the Jim Crow generation weren't assholes. Because a lot of generations have attack previous and young generations doesn't make the complaints of today any less true. The booms are morally culpable for their fails regardless of your bitching about moaning about how cliched the criticisms look.

Also what is wrong with that commercial? Many millennials invest in the stock market. It's a lot easier today than it ever was.

It's just gross. I use etrade and there's nothing wrong with investing but god damn.

I "jumped" to racism because it's a stark example of a previous generation shitty the bed morally.
You're acting like there is no difference between generations, all I did was use an extreme example to prove you wrong.
Mathematically it's like setting an upper bound.

After that, now we can talk about stuff like the environment, epa, lead pipes, social security. etc etc etc

Except we're not talking about morals. We're talking about millennials being uniquely disadvantaged. Which they're not. A past generation being more racist isn't evidence of unique financial difficulty.

Productivity has increased dramatically yet income growth and minimum wage has been stagnant. Income inequality has spiraled out of control. Millennials are forced to take out high interest student loans to get degrees which are pretty much mandatory for all jobs. Millennials don't have enough wealth to save up for down payments on cars and houses so they take out higher interest loans (and PMI). You are absolutely out of your God damn fucking mind if you don't believe that millennials are uniquely disadvantaged.

Certainly couldn't be any less valuable than your hate boner.

Well if you had a point it could be discussed. But you dont. Nowhere in his post was he hand waving anything. Merely pointing out bitching about the previous generation nothing new. And millenials will do it too.

The past is the past. If you dont like the way society and government is because of the perceived fault of a pervious generation that change that. Make it better for future generations instead of bitching on the internet.

The Cadillac commercial was right in one thing; work, make change, take responsibility. This constant bitching and blame game isnt helping. Its counter productive to change.

Or you can keep shit posting on CE.

Everyone is uniquely disadvantaged. Every generation faces different problems.

His point, said in passing, a point you're harking on for some odd reason, is that the problems millennials face are ones that should have remained solved.
For example, education/accreditation should, like every other product, be getting cheaper and more accessible. But it's not.

Warning;
"I do not have the facts to back this up." ~Hermain Cain
Since the fucking printing press was invented, every generation has been more educated than the last . . . aside from ours.

Millennials are more education than the last generation thanks to the internet.

The problem with colleges will continue to future generations if they are not fixed. The problems are:

- For the most part colleges are still big campuses where students go to be taught when they should going to students through the internet
- The government basically gives colleges free loan money with no oversight that the students have to pay back

If either of those problems are fixed then the cost of college will drop by a lot. The first one will probably never be fixed because of tradition. The second one can be fixed though.
