I watched boomers from my own family, immediate and extended go from the 60's peace loving, everyone matters, community oriented love everyone and we're all in this together to everyone is not my problem, fuck the community I look out for ME and why should I pay for all the slackers. Happened before my very eyes. The we got ours generation (cheap college, reasonable housing, one income could support a family, SS at 62 and pensions) now proclaims you're shit out luck, even if you are our own blood. They have the gaul to run around proclaiming they weren't given anything they worked hard for everything and the younger generations are just whiny moochers. Well forgive the fuck out of me and everyone else that came after the self righteous boomers for wanting the SAME opportunities YOU were GIVEN and failed to ensure that those after got the same deal.
