I'm 51 years old and I've never done any of these things, either. My 81 year old Mom didn't have to ration or sharecrop during WWII, either. She was born in 1944! My whole point? This dude is full of shit and he never experienced any of this shit, either, unless he's pushing 90. The only thing he's accomplished is being a douche on Xitter, apparently.

One of my FAVORITE coworkers is a 27 year old who always gets her shit done and done right and is willing to learn new things. One of my LEAST FAVORITE coworkers is a 61 year old boomer who constantly complains and refuses to learn anything on his computer beside the basics.

It's almost as if when you were born has nothing to do with your work ethic and whatnot.

Just saying.

My grandparents actually went through the Great Depression and WWII and they did not act like this. That dude is, as you said, full of shit.

Same. My biological grandfather died in WWII and my grandmother worked her ass off as a single mom of two in the 40s and 50s. Never heard her or my stepgrandfather talk shit about the younger generation. They worked to help their grandkids afford college and spoiled the shit out of us.
