Remember kids: the higher the productivity graph climbs, the more proof there is that no one wants to work!
Quadrupled (probably) healthcare costs
To be fair this does hit them first as they age
But also they just strike even by metabolizing their life savings / real estate to pay for this
Leaving us… with no inheritance and holding the bag
Just two years ago I thought they wouldn't see the effect of global warming and would die comfidently ignorant. I was wrong, but somehow it doesn't make things better.
And blame us for not having kids.
They need that new generation to exploit.
Mine just accused me of being gay via hearty use of homophobic slurs, because only women and gays cry, and i wasnt no woman.
That's lame. Real men aren't afraid to cry, whether straight or otherwise.
Everyone said I was disadvantaged by having a single parent, but I didn't have to live through any of that shit except for 1 year my mother married (and then left the guy because he was an ass)
One good parents better than 30 shitty ones, mate, and sounds lik you had a good one.
Ehhhhhhhh.... I wouldn't go that far. I had a not-terrible one, who only showed bad sides when I was in my 20s. lol

Haha ok this meme was good.
I'm one of the parents. Sorry for my generation. :)
We know it's not all of you. Your generation also fought for civil rights, explored space, invented jogging I think.
We have shitheels in our generation too. And I fear they'll become more and more prominent as we get older. I hope we're able to dampen their greed and intolerance.
I'm pretty sure boomers didn't invent running.
Minor correction, boomers weren't the ones fighting for civil rights. Boomers would have been in kindergarten during the civil rights movement.

They didn't , same class did it same class is doing it. Fuck this stupid fake generation shit
Both are true. Boomers as a bloc have consistently voted for cutting social programs that they benefited from in favor of lower taxes, moreso than preceding and succeeding generations. The wealthy indeed shape the bills and reap the benefits, but it wouldn't happen without boomer support.
Thank you. Millennials and Gen Z are the same mindless consumers that boomers were, by and large. It wasn't their generation, it was the bourgeoisie.
Yeah, but if we blame the boomers we never have to take any responsibility and we can just continue mindlessly fucking the world up
And that's why you always leave a note!
Oh my god, that guy's arm just came off!
So....they did give us something to cry about.
They played the long game.
It can be four things.
Too real for me irl
Well they weren’t lying
That's a plot twist
