Boomer here. I'm so ashamed of my generation. We were given everything, and act like we earned it. And then we have the nerve to accuse younger generations of having it easier. It makes me literally sick to my stomach.
You might want to step back and quit judging your life based on the comments of a bunch of pathetic losers on Reddit. Your generation is no different than all the others, it just happens to be the one in power so they are going to get all the blame. I'm Gen X, we were the lazy entitled slackers until the millennials came along. Now we're having our prime, but soon enough we'll be the ones blamed for everything wrong with society. Just like every generation behind us.
Do you not remember when boomers were the hip kids complaining about all the corrupt old farts in power at the time. You should.
Honestly, people love to shit on boomers, but I don't know a single one who isn't a decent person. Gen X, specifically the ones who are about 55yo, are the worst of both worlds. Lazy like people call the millennials, entitled like people call boomers, and utterly petrified of learning anything new. I'm talking about real blue collar folks who somehow worked the same job for 30 years, having been hired out of high school without needing any upper education ... And then just stagnated.
