Why everybody blames the boomers now

[Darkwind]

A plan or not, it happened. The Jobs are gone.

That is what happens when you vote for massive government.

At no time in all of human history has survival for mankind been easier than right now.

Leave their children a better world than the one they inherited?

They have Smart Phones/Social media.....They are fine.

You wanted pabulum for the masses....Well there you go.

The jobs didn't leave?

The subject is hatred of the Boomer generation. In that context what SPECIFICALLY did the Boomers do to shift jobs overseas? In my view, 'the jobs' were sent overseas by corporations seeking lower labor costs. What is your view?

Moved them overseas (as pointed out, along with the previous generation)

Yes, corporations ran by boomers and the previous generation.

That is ridiculous. You are blaming Joe and Jane Boomer for the actions of CORPORATE LEADERS seeking to maximize profit for their companies by sending jobs overseas. Joe and Jane Boomer had zero control over that. This is part of the nonsense of blaming Boomers for the economic woes of younger generations.

Whom are those being condemned. Joe and Jane also said nothing. They were enjoying their third cheap television.

I have blamed corporations in the past only to be condemned for that also.

I'm sure YOUR generation would rise as one and condemn corporations for providing you cheaper goods. LOL you are completely out in the weeds on this one.

My generation? I condemned sending jobs offshore for decades.

You are dodging now. If you want to hate the Boomers for things beyond their control, that is your prerogative. Thank you for discussing your thoughts.

I disagree it was beyond the control.

Those who blame others are just making excuses for their own failures.

Its ok. The Boomers are finally dying off now. Just a few years and you are a memory.

You’ll miss us when we’re gone.

Leave so we can find out.

As a boomer, there is no question we got a better deal than today’s generation

In my case, I paid for college working for minimum wage over the summer.
Upon graduation, I was able to buy a new car within six months and a house within 5 years.
I was able to retire by 61

It ain't easy, no matter what generation you are in. When you grow up being coddled and protected from the outside world, surprise!
