Pre-existing condition, lead poisoning in a boomer.

This isn't a generational thing. For a start, he's technically Gen X, not a boomer. And secondly, I'm older than him and I'm just as happy about that as everyone else.

(Gen X voted for Trump at a higher rate than boomers)

Which is really really sad. When I was younger I used to think we just need these old people to age out of the system and my generation can do things better. We seem to be doing significantly worse.

That's really sad because the younger someone is the more they are going to be fucked by the long term effects of Donald Trainwreck's enshitification of everything. Nuclear proliferation from the new world disorder, global warming, hyperinflation of the national debt due to gigantic tax cuts for the billionaire elites, hollowing out democracy, normalization of corruption, normalization of routine dishonesty, huge economic inefficiencies that comes with wealth inequality, removal of previous rights like abortion, vast increase in government incompetency, etc

While boomer is deff age, when people refer to it online it largely mind sent reference... that parasite pest leeching on working people and feel entitled to do it, indigent when exposed.

You know the type...

He was actually GenX.

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You've seen pictures of him right? Just how fucking young do you think boomers are?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Everyone older than me is a boomer.

Everyone younger than me is a zoomer ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
