Why did millennials get screwed over by boomers?

Why did millennials get screwed over by boomers?

Regardless of whether or not they were given bad advice, they still made an imprudent investment.

The boomers aren't wrong calling millennials entitled.

The Jewmers.

Ben? Is that you?

The boomers are the most entitled generation in history

Fuck you, fuck the boomers and fuck my generation. We got fucked and just said fine, fuck all of it.
CRASHING THIS COUNTRY, NO SURVIVORS

Because loads of millenials choose sides with the boomers the moment the boomers utter the word "socialism", failing to realize it's just the same, old scam.

well yeah, boomers raised them, after all.

Was getting elected part of your plan?

Do you really expect kids who are barely 18 to realize they're making a poor decision when they've been told their entire lives by everyone they're supposed to be able to trust that it's a good one?

>are the most entitled generation in history
Why do you say that? Everything about their situation was different from ours. It's like comparing apples and oranges.
>We got fucked
By globalization? By natural economic forces? Who gives a shit? You're not going to make anything better by complaining.
>failing to realize it's just the same, old scam
I don't understand. Are you saying wealth distribution is the key to prosperity?
Apparently kids weren't able to make proper risk assessments of higher education.
>Do you really expect kids who are barely 18
I expect people to not make bad decisions, yes.

boomers are literally this

The thing that annoys me about this is that when I reach retirement, there isn't going to be anyone paying for my old ass.

Old people are a burden on society. There should be a cut off age where if you live to it, you get put down, myself included.

Boomers are the last ones to accuse anybody of anything. They're the most destructive generation that ever existed, they basically bankrupted western world with debt spiral to sponsor their lazy and consumptionist lifestyles and they fucked economy beyond repair. Now they are trying to start another world war since they're apparently bored with their degenerate lives and want everyone to evaporate together with themselves. If there's any generation that deserves mass genocide it's boomers.

>Old people are a burden on society
This is true. If there's one horrible thing about Boomers it's that they allowed themselves to be duped into believing Social Security wasn't a pyramid scheme that would inevitably overburden their grandchildren.

The worst thing is that they keep unnaturally expanding their lifespan and reaching older and older ages.
No-one needs to reach 90 and have had 3 heart transplants.
That's three wasted hearts which could have gone on younger people.

>they basically bankrupted western world
Do you have an example of this?

Boomers worked during the height of the Cold War, when expenditure was immense and yet the budget (of the US at least) was far more balanced than now.
>consumptionist lifestyle
You're right, Poland should go back to Communism. Enjoy the beauty of no toilet paper.
>they are trying to start another world war
???

>the young should eat the old
Sure is zero sum fallacy in here.

>bankrupt the west
Well idk our national debt seems fine. and social security will be great when we get old. I'm glad college costs so much too.

>Take Loan you know you cant pay back
>IT'S NOT MY FAULT

Yeah everyone should get trade jobs! Fuck higher ed!
Retard

>Finance everything with debts and enormous taxes which eventually led western countries down this shitter they're in nowadays
>call other commies
Lel, typical boomer scum.
Also
>boomers
>work
xD

The young at least have the possibility of providing to the workforce.
The old aren't going back in and are literally just draining resources the rest of us are going to be denied when we get to that stage.
Are you suggesting that old people are good for the economy?

>By globalization?
yes we need to know the enemy to fight against it.
>Natural economic forces
none of the economic factors are natural, they are caused by globalization and shipping jobs to places that don't have the same standards because they are not US.

Also Nixon brought us off of the gold standard which pretty much crashed the value of our dollar fucking everything over.

>I don't understand. Are you saying wealth distribution is the key to prosperity?

Socialism never has nor will work and only removes the hardships of failure, making success a goal nobody cares to reach for because they don't have to reach for anything to survive.

>I expect people to not make bad decisions

that would be acceptable but these pawns of the state, raised by the public school system and jewish hollywood are literally retarded and are told to make "mistakes" (make stupid decisions, not actually mistakes) when they are young because "it's the time to learn" when they should be trying to avoid them and practicing avoiding mistakes.

>our national debt seems fine
The sum total of all debt owed by US citizens, companies, and governments? Most of that money is owed within the US. I also think this is a problem, but a lot of that is individual people overusing credit.

Maybe you meant the federal debt.

I'm glad I only got 3,000$ in loans before I realized that was only for 1 semester of community college and that if I keep getting them I am going to be fucked over real quick.

Glad I learned early. I quit college btw it's a total scam. Now I'm a self employed computer programmer with no college who makes residuals working ONE HOUR a month and survives from it.

In the end you have to teach yourself college don't do shit.

>call other commies

>The old aren't going back in and are literally just draining resources the rest of us
If it wasn't for government subsidizing the life of old people with the earnings of the young it wouldn't be a problem. Social Security in the US will simply have to be cut. It's a pyramid scheme as I mentioned here

Student loans aren't a big deal. I ended up with about £30,000 in student loans, but you only have to pay them back once you're earning a significant salary, and if you can make it to 50 then they just void them anyway. Anyone complaining about loans is a self-entitled faggot.

Sources: Tumblr, reddit

Cutting SS is how it will end up anyway but still. Once you get to a point where you no longer have independence as a person and need help every step of the way to do things like feed yourself and go for a shit then I really wonder if that quality of life is worth living.

>fighting globalization
I don't even know where to start. Do you think that in any point in time the United States was an insular market that didn't trade goods in a global marketplace?

>literally retarded
Generation X, Y/millennials aren't any different in that regard.

my college course helps a lot understanding WHY when I'm working on stuff, which can help the actual work sometimes, but all the HOW I learned from experience

First generation (millenials) since the dawn of capitalism to be poorer than their parents. Never forget that.

yes because everywhere in the world works the same way as in your croney pedo-filled shithole

>society expects you to go to college
>statistically Bachelor's will bump you up 30-40k a year
>government guarantees loans at (((low interest rates)))
>due to guarantee of money, schools up their tuition to 30k a year on average
>community colleges are cheaper, but much more shit
>average student earns maybe half of that in a year, usually less
>after graduating, many students, even those in STEM fields, have a hard time finding a job in the field

While I agree that way too many young people study useless shit like liberal arts, not all of that can be blamed on their poor decisions, and an alarming number of white students don't have scholarship programs to look forward to unless they have straight up 4.0 GPA. The system is rigged to imprison them in debt.

remember that the credit card came to prominence in the 80s, when boomers were in their 20s and 30s. The credit card enabled the "spend freely, have fun" mindset of the 80s and 90s.

Now who are the ones who are thousands in debt from overuse of it?

I think this is true for the youth too. When you don't strongly punish unproductive behavior working it's no wonder people drop out of the workforce. There's no reason there should be a market for 11 million Mexicans to build houses while Americans complain about lack of opportunity.

Ale tripsy.

Why do student loans keep them from jobs?

I think the idea they're trying to convey is that millennials are shamed for their relative lack of success when the difference of situation between the generations is so stark.

>TFW the greatest satire is nothing more than an accurate representation of reality with nothing added.

Because Millenials fell for the college jew and thought they couldn't get a job without it.

I've never set foot in a college and I'm making six-figure.

Find your own way you pussies, some leftist woman's studies professor will never give you any information that will generate income.

>When you don't strongly punish unproductive behavior working it's no wonder people drop out of the workforce.

That's the thing, they try and shame people for not being in the workforce but most Millenials at this point are just so numb to being shat on by others that they just cannot muster up the pride to be like "I can do better"

Learned Helplessness is a bitch.

When Sup Forums says "College is a Scam" they are mostly talking about America. Our system is fucked.

Millennials got screwed over by the humanities as a valid major narrative.

$90,000 to learn how to program cutting edge software and engineer? Hell yes.

$90,000 to learn how to get high and paint yourself green and demand people pay you money for your performance art? You're functionally retarded.

>Both my parents are boomers
>Both have good jobs
>Father even owns a successful business
>both didn't go to college/university
>Don't whine about student loans especially if you do a retarded subject like gender studies
>Don't want to pay student loans don't go to college or study something useful

I'm gonna give you foreigners an example of how retarded American college is.
Say you want to study botany. Well college is going to make you take a bunch of non-related classes as "prerequisites" to shell more money out of you and you HAVE to do them.
And when I say unrelated, I mean REALLY FUCKING UNRELATED, like you take botany and they make you take a Cooking class and a Vegan Living class first.

Millenials are just retarded with money. They blow their money on all sorts of retarded shit, and then blame everyone else when their checking account is overdrawn.

The same reason Trump got screwed over by his loan. :^)

>Why did millennials get screwed over by boomers?

The boomers didn't screw you over. The men returning from war had their college paid for by Uncle Sam so no debt, and most women didn't go to college, they stayed home and raised a family so no student debt. But over the years military hating, slobbering leftist like you destroyed the family unit, convinced women that they should go to college and beta males won't knuckle down and do a few tough years to get their college paid for. Thanks for destroying the White race douche bag.

Wait who let the women join college?

Youre an idiot, boomers didn't fight in ww2 their parents did

Boomers were the ones who started the sexual and cultural revolution in the west, the ones who pushed revolutionary feminism and destroyed the family unit

Millenials didn't get screwed over by Boomers. Millenials screwed themselves over because they decided to get degrees in fucktarded studies and liberal arts degrees that are not needed in the economic work environment at large.

>Apparently kids weren't able to make proper risk assessments of higher education.
Oh come on. No high schooler could have predicted the massive forces in motion - and if they could, they needed the student loan to invest, because they were financial geniuses.

>what is Vietnam

Get out bong.

>every single millenial that's laden with debt is because he owns a new car, a new house, eats out every day, goes on vacation every year and shops at Whole Foods

That is literally only the case with kids who have rich parents, who then also pay for their school. Sounds like you don't even know how credit works. Good luck having a mortgage, a car lease and a student loan at the same time. Banks want your debt, but not when they know you can't pay it off.

Funny you didn't respond to the main part of my comment, I'll point it out to give you a second go:

Boomers were the ones who started the sexual and cultural revolution in the west, the ones who pushed revolutionary feminism and destroyed the family unit

>actually defending (((federal))) debt enslavement programs
i expect better of hungary

That's fantastic tbqh pham.

this. remove boomer.

There's a difference between global market and global culture.
50 years ago you didn't hear about china floodings unless they affected the prices.
50 years ago starving africans was the issue of those starving africans and local governments, not of the entire western civilization.

The implication is not necessarily that all of them have all of these things. Its that they have many of them. They waste their money on all sorts of shit.

>millennials have cars
>millennials buy homes
>millennials watch cable tv
>millennials vacation every year
>millennials have expensive hobbies
>millennials eat out every day
>millennials shop at expensive stores every week
Wew lad, got literally any evidence for these claims?

you can't buy things your credit don't allow
student loans are the only exception, thanks to the retarded reform in student loans in your country

Some ways directly and some ways indirectly, but at the end of the day the answer is yes.

The responsibility still lies on millennials to make a shift from traditional career paths and value their own education.

Don't want student debt? Don't go to school.
Don't want to work at mcjob for the rest of your life because you did/didn't go to school? Work for yourself.
There are numerous ways to financial freedom and the majority of them do not involve school.

the ppl who came back from ww2 are not the boomers. Their kids (came of age in the 60s) are.

How about real life, every boomer that enjoyed some form of education and worked hard got rich.
It was easier back then, not saying it's impossible now, it's just harder to accomplish.

>implying vietnam is ww2

reading comprehension 0%

Gov financing schools literally ruined university

>Funny you didn't respond to the main part of my comment

I'll respond because I'm the idiot that confused boomers and greatest. You're right. I was wrong.

Yea sure, and if I click your link I too can find out how to be a self employed single mother making $7548.72 an hour at home.

Gas the Boomers
Age War Now

Once your 18 your not a kid anymore. Legally. These 18 year olds should take some responsibility instead of blaming others.

>Yeah, everybody should get subsidized! Fuck the responsibility that comes with freedom!

You're*
18 years olds are children. Legally no, but if you know any, you'd know that they're not much smarter than 14yos

No, the boomers raised the Gen X. Millennials are the Gen X fault

As soon as I graduated in chemical engineering the oil industry crashed big time. The news tried to say it was a blip but that was complete bullshit all of the top 10 companies laying people off were in oil. So I had $45k in loans and had to take a shit paying chemical manufacturing job and now I am practically stuck there.

>Boomers raise gen X piss poorly
>Gen X don't even raise their kids Jew run schools do specifically to make stupid people

What's wrong with Millennials?!?!?!

Boomers are immune to taking personal responsibility for going along with Jew agendas that fuck everyone over
Preferring instead easy mindless feel good narratives

something a small fraction of boomers participated in while the rest took a big shit on them over it?

Then their parents weren't either. I think "chasing the dream" as a culture has ruined a lot of people's lives.
I'm not sure I understand how awareness of natural disasters relates to OP.

Social security really, everything they left was fine and dandy. except for that program.

Why dont you millennials stop bitching about money. Want money? Don't majoring in Feminist Tap Dance Theory and then complaining when you dont get a job. And then when you dont get a job, you work at McDicks and complain for the pay. Go work in a fucking department store or a factory if you want money for doing basic shit. You millennial scum are no better than beaners and niggers.

>Turn 18 after having zero responsibility your whole life
>You're suddenly held to the standards of an adult

>Preferring instead easy mindless feel good narratives
How is this at all different from the behavior of millennials?

>a job meant for a teen

Factories are gone, good degrees are memes.

you're right, all those fucking nu-kids should be looking at the back of the person in front of them instead of using their time more wisely on their phone.

You had better parents
Jews had less brainwashing time and effectiveness on you
You inherited a gold standard which you allowed Nixon to do away with

and while I wouldn't lame all the blame at boomers feet I would say you can get pancreatic Cancer for talking down on generations
You Failed to raise well.

>Taken by millenial in their 20s

Department stores are thriving. Thanks, Walmart. Department store warehouses still thriving. Thanks walmart. literally any job (Literally any fucking job) can pay better than McDicks or Burger Kang

>He still believes in the STEM meme

lul, friendo you got a lot to learn. Chem Eng graduate here with zero (0) interviews and I'm not alone. I keep in touch with people I graduated with from the same discipline and others, and we occasionally get together for drinks.

Wanna know how depressing it is to be at a table with 12 engineer graduates from various disciplines where none of them have been employed or are laid off? About as depressing as knowing your mom isn't getting the BBC.

>Leaf
I bet your resume is shit anyways... If you even have one. I'd rather hire a feminist tap dance therapist over someone like you any day if their resume is perf

>using their time more wisely
They're looking at Facebook or Instagram or Snapchat or whatever shitty stupid app is the flavor of the year. If you think cell phone use isn't unproductive and cancerous you should be lynched.
>you
I'm 26yo STEMfag. I just think that playing the blame game is asinine.
>good degrees are memes
Not really, you're just a cuck. Pic related.

R u me Ameribro? Exact same situation, except I'm working for a carpenter right now while waiting to be accepted as a police officer.

I did not spend 4 years working my ass off to get a Chemical Engineering degree to just work for a carpenter and later hopefully become a cop. Fuck me.

>The news tried to say it was a blip
It's not a blip, it's the bust of a cycle. It will come back.

They call them boomers because of the baby boom which occurred during and after the war. It was easier to become employed or learn a trade while being employed back then and provide for your family without needed to go to college. They had almost no regulations to deal with.

This. The "greatest" generation raised an entire generation of entitled cunts who flushed the entire country down the toilet and tried to blame it on their kids.

Pathetic.

Then how is it satire?

>There should be a cut off age where if you live to it, you get put down, myself included.

You should watch Logan's Run.

Then spent the rest of their lives creating regulations, subsidies, entitlement programs, and debt.

Then started multi-decade long wars, with rules of engagement that made it impossible to win, then shit on their own kids who fought those wars for being "man children." Talk about fucking projection.

it's ironic
