    Yup, the same ones that actively were able to benefit from the cap of ss contributions due to their secure jobs paying out more than any of us are proportionally making now. Those same secure jobs they only received because the U.S. got to establish itself as a global hegemony due to being largely unharmed by WW2.

    Boomers got to live the good life at the expense of our future, and they didn’t do a goddamn thing to deserve it.

      In my market, the median cost of housing has risen over 600% relative to median income since '74 - they’ve ridden that wave at the expense of future generations after breaking the guardrails off the economy. They haven’t paid their fair share into SS, and now they’re demanding more.

      I thought millennials were supposed to be selfish and lazy.
