Gen Z reminding Boomers they ain't shyt and they ruined America.

[Laidbackman]

Pretty much my whole family but they all had government jobs. I see what you're saying though...

Come to think of it, I did have several female cousins that retired before 65. They all had government jobs as well. But they were married. The cousin that was in my high school class, had 40 years. She passed from cancer in 2020. I assume she was planning to retire soon. She was single, so I guess that's why she wasn't retired. Plus she was divorced, and living in an apartment. All my life, I've noticed that most of my female cousins had some kind of career, mostly government.

But the males always struggled, and I have about 80 cousins on one side, with 69 that were in or close to my generation. I can think of only two of the males who retired before 65, but they were married as well. The men who were my age or older, I'm afraid one too many of them were deceased before 65...some before 60, like two of my brothers. My oldest male cousin did well, and retired a long time ago. He's been married since 1968. There may be more, but I can only think of two or three male cousins, with college degrees, and government careers. One of those cousins had close to 30 years, but his wife recently got a divorce after all these years, and took half of his retirement.

Were any of your family members who retired before 65, males, and living on their own in at least an apartment. When I bring this question to the hood, all I can say is, it's a hot mess.

Gen Z will be just fine if they’re focused on getting good grades and pursuing the right majors (obviously STEM related), or getting into solid, lucrative trades.

GenZ kids in my fam are fukking amazing, but their Gen X parents are old school and put that foot in their asses when it came to focusing on school. Literal straight A student athletes.

My nephews and niece are on other shyt. So fukkin smart for their age and they really do be cleaning after themselves after eating at a restaurant. Had me wondering why I never did that shyt

Those White early boomers, who were high level managers, were the ones who decided that profits were more important than pensions, and replaced pensions with 401Ks, and got rich. They were just too greedy to realize their behinds were going to get old. As a result, unlike the silent generation, most of them retired with no pensions as well, and wounded up with 401Ks that didn't match their retirement needs, and those hidden fees didn't help. Why more didn't see this, I don't know. I guess the popular thing was to go for the 401Ks, and become a nest egg millionaire, which was never the purpose of a 401K, unless you had a very, very high salary, and was able to put a lot of money in it. I was encouraged to leave my government job on many occasions, and transfer my TSP over to a 401K, and double my IT salary. I'm glad I never did that.

But the boomers didn't cause all this inflation. It all started with Woodrow Wilson in 1913. The dollar been dropping ever since. The inflation got bad in the 70's. But it's even worse today.

No they didn’t start inflation but they rarely allow people to advance in their companies and squat on all the real estate and don’t pass the buck also enjoyed one of the best decades in the 90’d during their prime earning years and never admit how easy they had it and act like a$$holes

lol. Again, what are gen z doing to fix it?
The oldest genZ are literally almost 30, what exactly have they contributed

Welp they did get fast food places to up their starting wage.

I mean its a start. If folks is willing to bust they asses for $7.15 an hour, why would these corporations shell out any more?

They were told automation would just replace them. Gen Z called their bluff. Stared them down and didnt blink. Now a number of fast food places in a number of locations are paying upwards of 13-15 an hour or more.

They tell these people anyone could do their job. Maybe so. But could and would are two completely different animals. If no one WOULD do it for peanuts, welp.....what choice do they have but raise the salary? Them burgers aint gone flip themselves. That cash register isnt going to take the customers money itself.

I been sayin this shyt for decades and it was kinda gratifying to see someone finally take these corporations to task.

Know yall worth folks.

How did GenZ get fast food companies to do that? Pretty sure that was mainly millennials behind that

 

[OperationNumbNutts]

All of this is a sick game and people are falling for it. Decades ago Boomers were criticized for being big spenders and having no regards to savings considering their parents suffered through the Great Depression. Then millennials were criticized for being both lazy and also reckless when they were young. Movies like the Breakfast Club and Animal House depicted that. Now it's Gen-Zs turn. You have people getting paid writing books, commentating, etc. while all they are doing is dividing people. This is one of many examples why I think people are not as objective as they think they are and no one is immune to propaganda. These talks only encourage the continuation of arguments and offer no room for solutions.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Blaming a generation is an easy cop out to pass blame on others instead of the real culprits.

Gen alpha is fukked

Economy is shyt and Boomers are the cause

How is your name @Secure Da Bag and youre promoting a generation who can’t figure out how to secure the bag in the wealthiest time in history.

When you say "wealthiest" time in history, that is actually disingenuous, because the majority of people in the world are working class or impoverished, so without knowing it, you're essentially giving the wealthy class God energy as they continuously erase the real wealth, like land and food supply.

To solve a problem, you must know the problem.
