Pancakes, Waffles or French Toast? Go
The lead thing is just ridiculous. Do you realize how much more potent, common and poisonous the chemicals are today than they were 50 years ago.Seems like lead poisoning got you in your feelings and unable handle the facts of the matter. Your generation has absolutely trashed the natural world and have left nothing but scraps for my generation and the ones after me.
Zero apologies.
As a Gen Xer I disagree. I'll take a boomer over a millennial all dayAs a boomer he's right
6 figures and can’t buy a house…. I just bought a house for $400,000 with no money down at all and I make about $60,000 a year so….. two story 5 bedrooms on a bluff in a coastal townWow what do ya know, someone who gets it. Thank you for being understanding and knowledgeable on the situation.
I know many good boomers too, it’s not the whole generation. But majority of them are corrupted and have screwed younger generations with horrific economic opportunity. No longer can you work minimum wage and pay for college and buy a home all on that income.
I make 6 figures and still may never be able to buy a home in Washington without having a significant other which I don’t have.
Thank you!! It’s crazy for anyone to think minimum wage is designed to build your life around in any era everHahaha! Who told you that was *ever* possible?!? No houses were bought, and no colleges were attended, using minimum wage. At $2.25/hr I could barely afford a beat-up old POS car that I kept running via parts from the junkyard that were hardly better than what I replaced. Sorry son, $12 or so per day after taxes wasn't buying anything like that. Or even renting a place, no matter how small and shitty, without at least one or two roommates.
<edit to add:> This was why I joined the Navy in 1977 when I was still 17 years old. I knew I wasn't going anywhere in life with a minimum wage job and no real skills past graduating from high school and washing dishes. Minimum wage jobs were *never* about living well, they were about feeding yourself until you could get a real job.
Seeing how this thread has gone, I'm glad I put that yahoo on ignore. Arguing with witless people isn't even entertaining, just noisome. I'd rather devote my brain to aimlessly remembering the lyrics to random 70's rock songs... Oh, and occasional Nuclear Engineering at work. Too bad I'm not all edumacated like dweedle-dumb.Thank you!! It’s crazy for anyone to think minimum wage is designed to build your life around in any era ever
All damn day. "Snow toast" is even better! "What's Snow toast?", you ask? Oh, just something my round hipped, fluffy ex-wife came up with one day while we were acting fat!

You take some day old French bread, cut it thick and then dunk it in the egg/cream/cinnamon/nutmeg and then deep fry that shit like you're making donuts. Then slather good Irish butter on it and dust it with a bunch of powdered sugar and top it with berries/fruit of your choosing! Serve with thick sliced bacon and you're in fatass heaven!![]()
I think you're getting millenials and zoomers mixed upMuch like millennials who've been so coddled and sheltered from any kind of adversity that the simple realities of day to day life feel like crimes against humanity. Broccoli-Top here is bitching about what every team in the League gets dealt season to season because he's used to being the Teacher's Pet and getting handed the easier path thanks to King Goodell. Shut the F up and be a man for F's sake, and go get a man's haircut while you're at it.
Sounds fatAll damn day. "Snow toast" is even better! "What's Snow toast?", you ask? Oh, just something my round hipped, fluffy ex-wife came up with one day while we were acting fat!

The comment is certainly inflammatory, but the absolute fact of the matter is that the only 2 generations that the federal government has been working for in the last 50 years is Silent Gen and Baby boomers.That's a bit over the top, don't cha think?
Being 75 y/o, I find that remark offensive and unnecessary.
Blah... blah... blah... Blah... blah... blah... Blah... blah... blah... Blah... blah... blah... Blah... blah... blah... Blah... blah... blah... Blah... blah... blah...

Every policy was done to make sure property values go up for them, government schemes pay out to them while taking from younger generations, social security, etc. It wasn't an accident or coincidence that the one generation (Boomers) that were given priority from birth and through all stages of life ended up immensely wealthy.
There is also something evil about a generation that received an inheritance but doesn't want to give one to the next generation.
The baby boomer generation is the most evil generation in human history. The evil and greed of baby boomers will be talked about for centuries if humanity makes it that long. One generation that managed to take from all other generations while leaving a huge mess of a world for future generations to clean up.
It may be harsh, but the world cannot begin to heal until the last baby boomer has passed away. Baby boomers were a curse on this world, a curse on humanity, and all we can do is wait until there are no more baby boomers in the world.
