No, you don't get a pass. You had the possibility to get a pass between 2009-11, when the FIAT GDP fetish "state capitalist" party political governance system was a whores hair from cracking; BUT instead you settled for eternal middle management positions and had yourself buy off by 0% loans at the costs and risk of GenZ and GenA
Do you mean that boomers make out that hey had it rougher than they actually did? Boomers were born after the great depression and never lived with the sort of deprivation than in the grate depression. I believe that boomers' narratives about their own lives are dishonest and manipulative. They are always tiring to pity mine. Everything they says is sus.
They appointed the Silent Generation. You cannot be a boomer because the boomers were born after WW2. I'm calling you an idiot.
Ouch! I felt that one. I don't think a lot of folks here realize how hard it is for those of us dealing with boomer parents. Many of you are dealing with them through your jobs which is a different situation. I'm not dismissing it but this is really deep-seated lifelong trauma.
Adding further to this as I'm sure it's been said here before, but I think a refresher on the generation years is due:
That and the older employees aren't going to listen to younger management. Which is understandable, if I had a zoomer manager I'd give him a chance but I would definitely question his capabilities before taking him seriously.
If GenX actually took things seriously then we wouldn't still have Boomers running shit, but hate is too strong a word. I'm not mad at GenX.
We can hate on genx for many things but we live in a democracy. They are dwarfed by boomers on one side and millennials on the other. The boomers are still in command both in the state and on the market side. They have not relinquished power still.
GenX pissed that option away by sucking boomer dick for scraps in the 2010s and then doubled down in the early 2020s because of a flu. It was mainly the GenX middle management dick suckers that executed the boomer policies in the field. From corporate to public security.
No, all your generation had to do, was not take the bait of 0%, not expand credit be it for cars, houses or whatever, not be submissive faggots for the debt dilution imports, not execute DEI policies for liquidity from the state for your "start ups" — simply not cooperate, not even defect, just not playing.
You can't expect Boomers to just relenquish power, they'll never do that. You have to take it from them. Furthermore, many boomers are selling their small businesses, they used to own the majority but as of this year, Gen X has the majority of them.
So they got ze power this year by a few percentage units among "small businesses" and haven't done anything with it yet?
Read the paragraph after that, you obtuse poostabber.
I read all of your post. It's what I do.
Well if you're going to ignore the part where the successful X'er sold his successful business to go back to having a small one (which happened in 2018 btw) then so be it. Call it a one-off if you will, but X'ers are getting into their 60's now so it's a little late for them to take over at this point.
This attitude has never made sense to me.
They won the game. Time to quit and start over.
Boomers always try to come up with some story to make your hardships seem inferior to theirs, even if it means telling a story that just sounds like obvious bullshit.
