I'm just mad how easy they had it. They were handed the world on a golden fucking platter, and there were fucking jobs for everyone, degree or not. Nowadays, even an engineering degree doesn't guarantee a fucking job, and that's all because of the way the shitty baby boomer generation has handled things.
The thing that really gets me is that they have the gall to criticize our generation before we've really had a chance to do anything.
But this long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us that when the storm is long past the ocean is flat again.”-John Maynard Keynes

We're dead anyway.
I'm really struggling to see how people are forgetting two exceptionally important facts: - The Baby Boomer generation is made up of individuals. - They were, all of them, a product of their time.
No Meta, I'm pretty sure they had giant meetings where they figured out how to screw over their kids. They twirled mustaches and stroked white cats while lounging on luxurious high-backed leather chairs. They very carefully orchestrated everything that has gone wrong over the past 60 years.
