Remember kids: the higher the productivity graph climbs, the more proof there is that no one wants to work!

[-] Annoyed_Crabby 23 points 1 year ago

And blame us for not having kids.

[-] winterayars@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

They need that new generation to exploit.

[-] outdated_belated@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 1 year ago

Quadrupled (probably) healthcare costs

To be fair this does hit them first as they age

But also they just strike even by metabolizing their life savings / real estate to pay for this

Leaving us… with no inheritance and holding the bag

Just two years ago I thought they wouldn't see the effect of global warming and would die comfidently ignorant. I was wrong, but somehow it doesn't make things better.

Mine just accused me of being gay via hearty use of homophobic slurs, because only women and gays cry, and i wasnt no woman.

[-] ijeff@lemdro.id 22 points 1 year ago

That's lame. Real men aren't afraid to cry, whether straight or otherwise.

[-] abraxas@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Everyone said I was disadvantaged by having a single parent, but I didn't have to live through any of that shit except for 1 year my mother married (and then left the guy because he was an ass)

[-] Dubious_Fart@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

One good parents better than 30 shitty ones, mate, and sounds lik you had a good one.

[-] abraxas@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Ehhhhhhhh.... I wouldn't go that far. I had a not-terrible one, who only showed bad sides when I was in my 20s. lol

Haha ok this meme was good.

I'm one of the parents. Sorry for my generation. :)

[-] cvozbosher@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago

We know it's not all of you. Your generation also fought for civil rights, explored space, invented jogging I think.

We have shitheels in our generation too. And I fear they'll become more and more prominent as we get older. I hope we're able to dampen their greed and intolerance.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure boomers didn't invent running.

[-] Scary_le_Poo@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Minor correction, boomers weren't the ones fighting for civil rights. Boomers would have been in kindergarten during the civil rights movement.

They didn't , same class did it same class is doing it. Fuck this stupid fake generation shit

[-] Balderdash@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Both are true. Boomers as a bloc have consistently voted for cutting social programs that they benefited from in favor of lower taxes, moreso than preceding and succeeding generations. The wealthy indeed shape the bills and reap the benefits, but it wouldn't happen without boomer support.

[-] clanginator@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Thank you. Millennials and Gen Z are the same mindless consumers that boomers were, by and large. It wasn't their generation, it was the bourgeoisie.

[-] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but if we blame the boomers we never have to take any responsibility and we can just continue mindlessly fucking the world up

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

And that's why you always leave a note!

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Oh my god, that guy's arm just came off!

[-] MdRuckus@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

So....they did give us something to cry about.

[-] devious@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

They played the long game.

[-] Drusas@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Too real for me irl

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It can be four things.

[-] thatonedude1210@beehaw.org 9 points 1 year ago

Well they weren’t lying

[-] shalva97@lemmy.sdfeu.org 5 points 1 year ago

That's a plot twist
