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

[Secure Da Bag]

If we're keepin it a buck, Gen Z is tired of the fukk shyt and having people say "if I volunteered for fukkery that means you have to too". The world owes them not to be greedy fukks that lets hyper capitalism eat everything away and not trying to gaslight them into thinking "they didn't work hard enough".

The wildest example of this yet

So we are all in agreement that America is ruined??

The wildest example of this yet

Seems like every company in the country used "inflation" as an excuse to increase prices.
Everywhere you look, companies reported record profits then used that money to boost their stock's share price.

When people talk about how the media is biased and creates "fake news", they think organizations like MSNBC or Fox News are spinning lies. And sure, they do present things with an angle.

But the real mistrust with the media is how they ignore or marginalize stories like this: corporate greed.
And by failing to bang the drum about this crap, the general public remains largely unaware. And so they blame other things for why things suck and are getting worse....like immigrants or regulation or whatever.

And to be sure, the media is quite happy to give the public all sorts of other boogeymen.

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.

The other part is they are cutting employees and cutting hours and raising prices. Also they are investing in automation which is cheaper. Yeah you got 15 an hour but 5 years from now, no more job.

Gen Z voted for Trump more than Boomers did.

Zoomers are the worst.

At least Boomers were coming off the biggest war of all-time. They had an excuse.

Zoomers have a chip in their shoulder and voted for Trump because there was too much peace and equality.

FDR set the boomers up lovely….They just had the best president in the last 100 years.

 

[Laidbackman]

I was just thinking about this thread, and what generation voted in Trump.

 

[Savvir]

Just keep black baby boomers out of the equation, but I don't like generationism in general.

Nah, black baby boomers founded all the gangs and facilitated the drug epidemic in our communities (60’s/70’s/80’s)

If you really look at it.. when Malcolm and Martin died they didn’t carry the torch… black boomers got a lil bit more freedom and access to better jobs/more income and completed lost sight of the entire cause.

That's an absolute retarded, and I mean absolutely retarded fukking way to look at an issue.

Just unseriousness.

Explain how my statements are wrong.

First off, you do know gangs and especially drugs like heroin predate baby boomers as they came into the world right?

1. I didnt say they created the concept of gangs. I’m talking specifically about the gangs that ravaged the black community and persist today. Name the biggest black gangs we have in America right now and we can lookup the ages of their founders.

2. I didn’t say they created drugs. I said “They facilitated the drug epidemic in the black community”. Was there a drug epidemic in the black community prior to the 60’s? If so let me know.

Brother, with all due respect, "they facilated" is doing a lot of heavy lifting when America was seeing a huge problem with herion in the 40's-50's and again in the 70's
