Just something I've been thinking about now that I'm 40. A complete lack of leadership and mentoring from the boomers.
Parents were just focused on academic success and getting me off to college. Never learned to use tools, tend to plants and animals, do sports or hunt.
In my career, I was just given lots of responsibility and risk. No mentoring or leadership. No actual control to go along with the responsibility.
Was it like this for anyone else? Now that I'm middle aged and see the problem, I'm trying to be different for the younger generation.
Boomers are a very selfish and entitled generation- perhaps the worst in history. They inherited the wealthiest empire in human history and yet somehow managed to saddle their children with incomprehensible debt all the while refusing to leave the workforce for an extra decade or two thus resulting in no transition of power or opportunity to establish generational leadership.
Not to mention offshoring the entire productive capacity of the country just to squeeze out a few more dividends.
Not to mention endless foreign intervention in unnecessary conflicts which have left us in adversarial relationships with some of our strongest former allies.
And so on.
I'm not sure this is "all their fault" but they were in power when it happened so in some way they caused it.
Can't be mad at them staying in the workforce when people will also complain if they retire too early and are a burden on social security.
Yes they are a weaker, more liberal generation than their parents, but sour grapes is a waste of time. Especially when this current generation are the weakest faggots yet.
That makes them even fucking worse, dude. They inherited the best economy in human history and couldn't manage to save a fucking dime for their retirement... while also voting to rob the social security fund.
