Fuckers! hmm? lame fuckers Baby Boomers fuck you!!

Fuck them

Fuck The Baby Boomers

Because they think they're nice people. Hence the facial expression that always looks like they're half way through telling a joke. This stupid facial expression is near universal in the Anglosphere.

Damn baby boomers ruined the economy. Now we need trump to fix it.

>At least I am not in debt at the moment.
But at the same time I am unemployed.
>But I am not going to a school with a $40,000 for full time classes.

That's what you get when you pay $800,000 for a phd in gender studies.

Baby boomers were victims of idea being sold at the time, that is the idea of buy buy buy, self-serve, stay ignorant of everything political, YOU EARNED IT.

College is a privilege, not a right.

Fuck off

...

Blaming the baby boomers is just another way for the kikes to cause division between family

The Jews destroyed the economy

Shouldn't we change that though to curve poverty and create a more educated society?

I am not even sure if that chart is accurate any more. I want to believe that if I get a bachelors of science degree I can make a reasonable living.

But I am terrified of falling into more debt than my job will ever pay off.

WOKE

Then don't spend 200 grand to attend yale you fucktards.

They love jews and think they can do no wrong.
Course "millennials" are basically the same thing but with the internet, so the narcissism is a lot worse.
Same basic personality archetype.

Married 30-year-old father of three with six-figure job, checking back in just to remind you all how pathetic you are.

Stop blaming others for your failures.

I'm so sick of kids complaining about OPTIONAL student loans. COLLEGE IS OPTIONAL YOU FUCKING IDIOTS.

>All I think about is myself and what I have done.
World is in danger because of global corruption, terrorism, manipulation, and many other terrible things, and you care about kids.
Wonderful.
Would you like a medal for being no better than an animal?

Don't know. Why not admit millennials are the most useless generation of human beings to walk this planet in the history of humanity and the less opportunity they have the less they can fuck things up?

unlike us tho were the exception

>World is in danger because of global corruption, terrorism, manipulation, and many other terrible things

Oh shit, better post on an anime imageboard about how that's all old people's fault.

But hey, at least you didn't say global warming

>this retard tier shitposting
Same kind of cultural subversion that created most millennials created the "boomers"
When people say the "boomers" or the "millennials", they do not mean all members of the generation, rather those who fell pray to cultural subversion trends.
In that era, it would be the anti-war groups and pre-neocons.
In this era, "true conservatives" and liberals of all kinds.

>subverted politicians do a bunch of shit that anyone with a brain would see is bad, like repealed glass steagull and cause the banking industry to gain a massive amount of power in a short amount of time
>these politicians are kept in office by retards who can't be bothered to do the SLIGHTEST bit of research, despite the internet existing, meaning the only excuse for ignorance is laziness.
IT'S TOTALLY THE YOUNGER GENERATION'S FAULT GUYS IT'S NOT LIKE THEY WERE SUBVERTED TOO
>implying I'm not actively trying to get into local politics and earn myself a safe position to begin countersubversion
git gud faggot

>implying I'm not actively trying to get into local politics and earn myself a safe position to begin countersubversion

This is beyond fedora, this is like wearing a trillby and correcting everyone who thinks it's a fedora.

Fuck them.

The "baby boomers" youre so worried about depriving you of jobs or situating you with debt are absolutely slaves to you. If even 1% of the current workforce said, "fuck it," the economic repercussions would bring the everyday of the US to a complete halt.

I never went to college. I bought a $200 gas forge with an extra $200 of equipment and fucked around with it for a year. Traded the shit I made for food and housing. Now I'm semi-retired because I have over 300k in the stock market and have bought off a house and a truck.

Its not hard. You just have to be fucking angry. Not... Annoyed. Or irritated. Or offended. Fucking pissed off enough to tell the world to fuck itself and get in the game purely for your own ends.

>implying helping out in the community, making sure important people know your name, who you are, etc. is fedora
>implying attending local meetings, like the PTA, various local associations, etc, and helping out, is fedora
>implying trying to set a good role model for your community is fedora
>implying smiling and being polite to people is fedora
????????
That's how easy it is to get into politics.
Fuck off with your self serving family bullshit.
The agenda of your local community is often going to be isolationist, meaning you can get far on their word alone.

Which makes me glad I'm getting an EE degree for less than 2000 a year with on campus housing and meal plan.

>more educated society

What does that even mean?
I want specifics of what you have in mind when you say that.

Our society already knows reading, writing and math.

>COLLEGE IS OPTIONAL YOU FUCKING IDIOTS.

Sure right now, but if women have their way people without degrees will never be employed doing anything.

I like how you dropped the countersubversion angle there to make yourself look less autistic.

That just means pushing your own agenda once you get to a high enough level where you popularity is self sustainable.
Learn to read into irony.

Don't know I still don't understand why they are such wilfully brain dead people. I can't stand the sight of them. They're like some annoying private school gen y who got away with a robbery and is just all denial.

The boomer generation is fucking over the economy with their voting habits. But it isn't really the individual's fault, rather they were sold on a lie that has become self evident with time.

What we need to do now isn't yell at grandma for sitting on a house worth several times what she paid for it while you apply for burger flipping with your bachelor of communications degree. That isn't going to get us anywhere. We instead need to change the perimeters in which society is being directed to grow.

As an example, I'll use the canary in the coal mine in this country. Blacks.

Blacks show us what our future is going to be like, they are two or three generations ahead of white America, but it is coming. The welfare state, destruction of the nuclear family, brainwashing to accept government as the agent of freedom rather than the lord of the serfs, and the financial incentives to not challenge any of these things (self communal thought policing.)

A difference of 10 IQ is not enough to explain the difference between us. Especially when until the new deal, they were doing much better relatively speaking than they are now.

Those programs and safety nets sounded really good on the surface. Same thing with the boomers, they thought they were heralding an age of unprecedented wealth for American workers with social security and the like. They did not see the complete ramifications of their actions, nor the corruption that they would tolerate in the name of "gibs me dats."

>This stupid facial expression is near universal in the Anglosphere.
Fuck me, I know exactly what you're talking about. It makes me want to strangle them.

Baby boomers have no right to call subsequent generations "lazy". They had everything handed to them on silver platters and are oblivious to this.

We are paying for their unsustainable benefits, pensions, and healthcare, not them. They are from a pie-in-the-sky generation where well-paying jobs were plentiful, houses were cheap, inflation was low, taxes were low, etc.

There are many jobs that now require a BSc. or MSc., where generations ago a high school diploma would suffice.

Yes, many people go to school without a plan or take majors without much job prospects. The fact is, undergrad degrees are now the equivalent of a high school degree 40 years ago. Of course this is the result of the industrial education complex and increasing credentials creeping up over time, but that doesn't change the fact that millennials are at a disadvantage compared to baby boomers.

Fuck baby boomers. They destroyed everything and are the only ones left with a huge disposable income, thinking they pulled themselves up by their bootstraps when the opposite is true.

e.g.: avg. house in Toronto is now around $1.2 million. I've met so many baby boomers who owned 3+ homes in their lifetime and bought their first one for ca. 30k. Not happening these days.

Boo hoo life is not fair.

I am a special snowflake and deserve only the best!

wtf I hate boomers now

That's not what I'm saying at all.

Not an argument.

>five-figure
what decade is this from?

2006 senpai.

It's still right.

>the average Class of 2016 graduate has $37,172 in student loan debt, up six percent from last year.

>Baby Boomers are the victims
They aren't automatons who were forcibly programmed by some third party to doom us against their will. They had a choice. They had been warned by their parents, grandparents, and teachers about the failings of socialism but still chose it anyway because they didn't give a damn about the future.

What kind of shit do you make? Or are you saying you traded that shit while working a full-time job?

What a dumb post

>the failures of socialism

But boomers were neoliberals who worshipped the free market?

No, there have always been poor people in society. Being poor doesn't automatically mean it's because you didn't get enough opportunities growing up.

Dumb is thinking that life is fair and that anyone owes your sorry ass anything.

>worshipped the free market
Someone who consistently votes to expend the government and impose more regulations does not fucking "worship the free market". Benefiting from something and admiring it are two completely different things.

Ancaps are literally the most braindead faggots ever. I bet you supported Ron Paul too.

Kill yourself.

Epic strawman.

No I'm serious. Just end your life right now. Please.

So anyone who uses the phrase "free market" in a non-negative context is an ancap now.

Wow, probably sucks being a brainlet and having any student debts.

Because like most groups of people they do not collectively blame themselves for anything.

>going to college

hahahaha

We have more people attending and graduating higher education then ever in American history and it's been a huge disaster.

>tfw I got a comfy job in my field right out of college
>five figure debt
>not even denting it my debt
>mfw I don't give a fuck about this debt anymore or even making payments on time and just drinking myself to an early grave.

Student loans don't set you out for failure, leveraging yourself for opportunities that ultimately appreciate in value is exactly what loans are for, they only have interest because something needs to motivate people to give you money in the first place and usually they feel entitled to some of that appreciation.

That's not how baby boomers fucked us.

When that leverage does not lead to opportunities, it ensures there's no appreciation amongst your skills. You end up with a loan that accrues interest with no mechanism of contending with it. This complete lack of opportunities is what happens when opportunities themselves are not a free market, but distributed based on some premise of pathological altruism. When you're more interested in providing opportunities for developing nations instead of local workers or, just as bad, you believe redistributing opportunities based on race and gender is in anyway correcting any form of oppression rather than creating a new form of oppression.

This is how the baby boomers fucked us. They were hippies, and they were bad. They taught gen x, who are now the very same HR workers who throw out all the resumes with white sounding names. They are the professors at sociology and humanity courses. They created the theories for SJW.

You think its younger generations who are most extreme, but that's what the mainstream media wants you to believe. They are gen x too and their target audience is strictly gen x. They want to believe younger generations are worse than them, it justifies their own insanity if they do.

Instead, the younger generations are the most wary. Who do you think has suffered the most from this shit?

Surely the solution to all this student debt and overqualified 20-30somethings with no jobs to fill is more taxes to pay for everyone's education.

If people have less money to spend then they will hire more people. And when colleges are guaranteed to be paid by the government, the price of their service will surely not continue to rise. Even more.

Nevermind all this economic mumbo jumbo and 20 trillion dollars into the red though I want to vote for a candidate that addresses the very real war on women in the west and is worried about climate change.

>I want to believe that if I get a bachelors of science degree I can make a reasonable living.

STEM is a meem. It's really difficult to find a job right out the gate.

>that feel when parents broke as fuck making less than 30k a year
>get osap student loan
>tons of free money since my parents are broke
>only 12k debt on my third year of university
>burgers

Same, about $20K in debt after my 5th year doing engineering. Sort of worried about my future kids thou, idk how much costlier college gonna be.

>willingly sign a contract saying you will take a loan
>get assmad when the terms of the contract dictate that you are now responsible to start paying it back to the original owner of that money
WEWE LADS

My daughter considered science, but we looked into it and you can't do fuck all with only a 4-year degree. And I certainly don't want to blow five figures on a useless degree.

wow so powerful

Makes U dinky

then why do you cry when me and my people take what we want from you? The world is not fair, you should have been stronger.

mfw I studied at the University of Puerto Rico were college is heavily state subsidized and tuition is just $700 per semester for 18 credit, graduated with surplus of $25k on my bank account earn on internships, and moved to the US mainland after graduating, earning ~$65k a year along white american peers who owe over $50k in debt.

If you do STEM correctly you should have a guaranteed job. You need to do extra curricular, join a lab, do research/projects IN ADDITION TO just taking classes.

The last student I mentored just got a job working at Illumina making more than I do (I choose to work part time. and make my own hours)

t. post doc in bioinformatics

Amen. I'm bitter and don't plan on paying off student loans. It's not like it's all that imperative to have big nice shit among millenials.

Nothing that you said made a bit of sense.

>$800,000
Paul Latza? Is that you?

No you have to groom your kids to have some kind of internet gig. There will be no jobs in the future.

Because more than anyone they don't understand that things change.

They don't understand the hell that was the world wars or how it created their world.

They don't understand what's happening now with globalism, automation, and the information economy.

They are the ones that convinced everyone that it was acceptable to get a generalist 4 year degree and be a buisnessman or a salesman and expect to live off a pension.

The only people more solipsistic and stubborn than them are the millennials who are into intersectional feminism, not even all millennials.

>gets a small loan of 5 figures
>doesn't turn it into 7 figures

TOP KEK

>what is construction

It's not like that you tard.

The chart isn't saying that people with degrees and people without are two distinct populations separated by a wide gulf.

It's just saying that on average the people with degrees are much more successful.

This is because CERTAIN degrees from CERTAIN schools are guaranteed money, stuff like a Computer Science degree from Berkley, MIT, or the University of Washington. Also doctors and lawyers make a lot of money and they also have to get a 4 year degree (in addition to other degrees), and intelligent people with a strong social network tend to get degrees even if they don't use them, it isn't always causation, sometimes it's just correlation.

Bruce lee got a degree that he didn't use at all, course there are more of the opposite, people getting shit degrees, but how bad they are doing isn't reflected in this chart, because this doesn't take into account debt, just income.

That's exactly it, though. In order to get what they had now, 99% of the time, we have to take on debt and -owe others-, with an entire generation of people saying how lazy we are, and how all it takes to get a job is to look the manager in the eyes and give them a firm handshake.

A boomer couldn't get a job in today's market. They wouldn't get within a mile of the HR landwhale at the gates.

This one?

If everyone had a degree then a degree would be worthless. I'm glad people think cs ID either a meme or too hard. Keeps me in demand.

You obviously are not paying attention, because a shittone of people in stem can't find jobs either.

This...get angry. Be loyal only to yourself, bite your tongue when necessary, and strike when the iron is hot. You're all on Sup Forums, so I know you've been red-pulled and know the truth. Take advantage of the useful idiots daily and repeatedly.

Fuck college, do an apprenticeship. Finished mine to become a machinist this year. The company I work for bumped me from 15 an hour to 22 when i got certified, but for shits and giggles, i put up a resume online to see if anyone is hiring. Had 6 calls in less than 2 weeks of shops wanting to hire me from all over the country, just because I'm certified and run a cnc machine. The old needing college to get a job meme is getting old.

>ruining the economy
>you can buy a supercomputer that fits inside your pocket for 50 dollars

That was his point.

>baby boomers
>work a job for their life to give their kids a good life
>somehow the cause of massive debt due to the schemes developed by globalists, corporations, and politicians
>its da boomers

OLDFAGS GET OUT


REEEEEEEEEE

>The old needing college to get a job meme is getting old.
>old ... is getting old.
But you're still dumb.

woooow 22 whole dollars an hour. thats a whole $45,000 a year before taxes

you are blowing my mind with how much money you are making man!

Maybe in 20 years you will be making $28 an hour like my dad does. He's 50 and his body is falling apart but man is that $40,000 he has after taxes sure pay for his one bedroom house and 2012 chrysler 200 he got used.

Meanwhile with my shit university education im pulling a measly $40/h or so teaching high school kids history. Well not right now because its summer break but eventually.

If you are gonna brag about making big bucks with no education. At least be working on an oil rig or something

Historically inaccurate. The biggest factor in Baby Boomer wealth was the property bonanza in the suburbs. Cheap loans, government assistance, and so on. These were major government initiatives, and they deliberately cut Black people out of them. White people were able to lift their boats using massive government subsidies following World War 2, but Black people were not. Welfare programs up until the 1970's were also exclusively whites only in most States.

This is what has set Black households back comparatively. Its not a meme when they say they were denied privilege.

>tfw paid $2000 for a college degree from a foreign university
>used this degree to get comfy office job making $75k

Don't hate, because this is common as fuck.

"I studied abroad to expand my international knowledge"

That is a pretty good idea. Any suggestions?

Is that really true? You are not shittin anyone on here? I went to tech school now I have $5k to pay off and I had to drop out because I worked at walmart for 37 to 40 hours a week the coming end of the year and on top of trying to get my degree. Also one question if this is true did you go through a union apprenticeship or a non union apprenticeship?

>going to college for useless liberal arts degree
>not going to college for trade or stem degree, or skipping altogether to get a job early
really makes me thonk

Stem is a meme

refer to
Boomers had it way easier and you know it.

Don't do CNC or anything shitty like this retard is saying. He will make under $50,000 a year for the rest of his life at best.

Go into automation or engineering. If loans and education scare you work on an oil rig. If you want a middle ground become an underwater welder

I was about to get mad but then
>Canada
Enjoy your poutine.

why dont you just suck up some more oil and pay for education

>This is what has set Black households back comparatively. Its not a meme when they say they were denied privilege.

But the blacks who got luck an bought a home in a city like Washington DC are making crazy amounts of money by selling their hous the paid maybe $50-$60k back in the 60s are now selling their homes for $600k to 1.4 mil. They then take that money and buy a big house in the south.

Nah I'll be enjoying my full benefits, union, summer and winter breaks and fun students.

> teacher
> working
don't make me laugh

I have considered going into oil in gas.

His type of salary is good enough for me I live in fucking Wisconsin. You need to make 50k a year just to be considered rich. So cost of living here is fucking cheap. i just want a salary that can cover my lifestyle.
