    So weird to think that that all went down in 14 years. 2010 doesn’t seem that long ago.

      The proper marker is 2008… It has been going down hill and fast.

      Boomers created this paradise for us.

        Yeah… I mean… bad decisions to “fix” the country post crash followed by the absolutely nauseating problematic laws and decisions since, like citizens united and eased FTC regulations.

        And all that before I was even close to being able to vote.
        But here we have the boomers and silent generation demanding they know best and will never die and their kids in Gen X just sitting back and trying to make their money at the expense of generations after claiming they “feel sorry” for us without even lifting a finger to help…

        Honestly fuck a few generations even though it doesn’t help against the real issue of the rich but there was a lot of adults in the room ignoring it because they still felt comfortable well past the signs.

          Boomers sold out their kids and country for macmansions and 401ks (most of them did not even get either) by providing political cover for the regime looting the country and fucking the working people.

          It is a really disgusting set up the more you learn the mechanics, just getting fucked at every turn.

          The fuckening is systemic and premeditated.

            They just needed a little bit more. One more sweet hit of that cash before they will get out of the way. And it’s not like they are doing anything young people wouldn’t do and they will live long enough to get their win eventually. /S

            Man the lead levels in their corpses are probably gonna poison the soil for generations (I’m hoping it was lead and not just societal selfishness)

              It think the lead theory is a cope…

              Hard to admit to yourself that entire society is like this on purpose lol
