You could say this about boomers but not Xers

Some things were better. We had cheaper college and real estate etc. But yeah, your average X'er doesn't have a pension and won't be able to retire at 58.

Millennials are uncureable whiners.

I’m a few years from retirement. Good luck with all that.

Too small a generation to overcome Boomers and Gen Y/Z. All we can do is troll and hope for the best.


Estimates are up to a third of Gen X births disappeared after Roe vs. Wade. This was in addition to widespread contraceptive use at levels never before seen in human history.

There are more Gen Xers in my age cohort now due to immigration than there were growing up.

We are small and forgotten, we don't have a large age cohort to shape and demand policy in our interest, so we've learned to do the best with what we have and operate within parameters defined by others. Maybe if more did that we'd all be better off.

That's because the boomers would negotiate a raise or increase of their pension in exchange for the elimination of those same benefits for new hires.

I have witnessed this with my own eyes.

We are the ones that ruined the country, who you think raised all these shite stains today.

We are responsible for "everyone's a winner"

I just want that dipshit boomer in the white house and all his degenerate cultists out.

GenX is responsible for the anti bullying participation trophies, so it's not like they arent at fault for anything. I'm one of those weird people that's sitting on the dividing line between gX and Millenials - but I don't like humans in general.

Biden is too old to be a Boomer

It blows my mind that we keep putting geriatrics in national office. I've got nothing against old people but there should be a maximum age to run for office. An 80 year old isn't representative of the population they are supposed to serve.

LOL. You can lay the blame of many of our current ills right at the feet of the so-called "greatest generation

Boomers didn't do that, liberals of all ages did that, progressively over time, including some republicans. That's not a generational flaw. Unless you think somehow someway that the American people actually run the US government.

I've been saying that about the Popes since JP2 declined in health - B16 did it right and got out of the way before he became incapable to lead. Hopefully Francis follows his lead and makes it a tradition for the Church.

That's Boomers. I was born in 70 and the "everyone gets a trophy" mantra was already a thing by the time that I started playing little league baseball in 77.

We have forced retirement for plenty of professions but not for the people running the whole country

Pelosi, McConnell, Feinstein, Biden are too old to be making decisions for the rest of us. I think we should have a max age to start a new term in office of 75 or something like that.
