I wish I could feel sympathy, but I don't. The Reagan generation did this to themselves, and the rest of us have to suffer with them.

This is the same type of “everyone in red states voted for trump so isn’t it funny that they’re all dying of covid” sentiment. Homeownership was obviously way more achievable for boomers as a generation than later generations, but not everyone bought houses in decent urban areas and then bought 2 more to rent out, just like not every boomer got a decent pension even though they were more available.
This one hit close to home. I literally just talked about this here, where I was worried about libs ‘letting red states secede’ to own the right.
And I did the same thing for boomers. Seems like I need to introspect more. I’ve been making progress, considering I grew up in a fundamentalist, far right household, but I clearly have a ways to go.
Anyway, thanks for this. Of all the criticism I saw, yours resonated with me the most.
Great attitude comrade, I’m glad you found my comment helpful. I saw your red states post the other day and I thought it was insightful. I was thinking of it when I replied
The impulse of the thought is normal, but yeah, its a wrong thought that we should try to catch and fight against.
I’m going to strive to do better going forward. Venting my frustrations out on an entire generation is childish and unproductive. Glad folks here helped set me straight.
Poboy’s nerfect.
