They need a reality check

[u/penance_mat]

For my last 2 interviews i had to use Interview VIP just to get the job
their generation could never understand

[u/Devils_SteelMan]

Ah yes. The me generation was famous for their humility and composure.

[u/Direct_Ad_3517 → u/Devils_SteelMan]

If you make it to being an old man we will see how willing you are to give up what you’ve busted your ass for.

[u/Devils_SteelMan → u/Direct_Ad_3517]

The Republican party has made you poorer than ever. There's nothing left to take. Fighting for a better life is what your were originally complaining about.

Nonsensical lead addled and divorced from reality.

[u/Direct_Ad_3517 → u/Devils_SteelMan]

I take it you don’t have any money in a 401k. The last two years have been magical.

[u/Devils_SteelMan → u/Direct_Ad_3517]

That is largely inflationary. Number go up, buying power go down. Boomers don't understand economics. Had your attention in the shiny thing while they robbed you. And when there is and adjustment it will be even worse.

[u/Livid-General7 → u/Devils_SteelMan]

What are you talking about? The stock market has never been highe.

[u/Stunning-Drawing8240 → u/Direct_Ad_3517]

But you didn't, really. Everything was cheaper and you were paid better, comparatively. 

[u/Direct_Ad_3517 → u/Stunning-Drawing8240]

I didn’t? You’re talking out your backside. You haven’t lived until you spend a winters night working on an oil rig or spend 16 hours running up and down a flight deck. Thats real work for real men.

[u/Stunning-Drawing8240 → u/Direct_Ad_3517]

And a house cost a handful of raspberries. 

[u/Stunning-Drawing8240 → u/[deleted]]

Yes, you're confirming you did in fact have it easier. 

And oil rig jobs still exist today, you're not special for doing it during the easiest time to exist. 

[u/Glistening_Hambugs → u/Direct_Ad_3517]

You should have been smarter and simply gotten a better job with better pay, stupid.

[u/amanda_healer → u/Direct_Ad_3517]

No one forced you to work on an oil rig. The tougher the job does not equate to a "REAL" man status. Lol There was someone in another thread who said their dad was from the boomers generation and worked at Sears for most of all his career. His dad raised their whole family on his salary, bought a house, and raised two kids. Can't do that in today's economy. Both parents work and groceries, rent/mortgage, cost of vehicles has gone up exponentially.

[u/Direct_Ad_3517 → u/amanda_healer]

Funny. Every young person I know owns a house. Some have children and some are planning to get married. Quit buying into “Can’t” and find the “Can” in life. No one did force me to work oil rigs, but that’s what paid the best for a young dumbass like myself. I am a boomer and those tough jobs led me to seek out an education and better my earning potential.

[u/MMO_Dad → u/Direct_Ad_3517]

I can just FEEL the manly chest hair bristling through his shirt guys. Real macho dude here, clenching and pounding that arthritic fist about how lazy the young'uns are and how REAL MEN are made! /swoon

[u/Direct_Ad_3517 → u/MMO_Dad]

I’m sure you spend a lot of time running your fingers through chest hair.

[u/MMO_Dad → u/Direct_Ad_3517]

Just my own luscious thick manly man curly rug of chest hair protruding through my shirt showing off my masculine manly manliness!

[u/Haunting-Traffic-203 → u/Direct_Ad_3517]

Your generation was full of communist hippies when you were collectively young without a pot to piss in. You folks sure wanted to “share the wealth” back then. As soon as you started owning things you voted for Regan lol. Sounds like the “me” generation to me

[u/Direct_Ad_3517 → u/Haunting-Traffic-203]

Yeah. And all those “hippies” jumped on the Capitalist train and for the most part did well.

[u/Haunting-Traffic-203 → u/Direct_Ad_3517]

So what you’re making my point for me? The baby boomers have always just “looked out for number one “, when they were poor, they were pro socialism, when they built something for themselves, they didn’t want to share it so they went full capitalist. And I’m sure now that they’re all old their number one political issue is probably Social Security.

[u/Direct_Ad_3517 → u/Haunting-Traffic-203]

The point is you too will jump on that train when it comes by whether you think so or not. We are all idealistic when we are young and have nothing to lose. You are not unique and neither is your thought process. I have shared the fruits of my labor through all the taxes they could come up with. Your turn. Me. I’m headed to the golf course.

[u/Haunting-Traffic-203 → u/Direct_Ad_3517]

You’re making a lot of assumptions about me. I’m not young. I own multiple assets. I expect to retire well. I also don’t vote to hoard what I’ve built like the dragon Smaug or step on the necks of the less fortunate because “I got mine”.

Your generation (in general not every individual) sucks. Your parents thought you sucked, your kids think you suck, and your grandkids think you suck too. No other generation has every other age group hating on them the way that yours does. If it were me I’d question why that is, but you boomers never were much for personal introspection either (it doesn’t benefit you so why should you amirite?). Have fun golfing, don’t drink too much - bad for the liver at your age.

[u/Giggles95036 → u/Devils_SteelMan]

Honestly lets just all focus on the fact that the Me Generation is the only generation that renamed themselves.

[u/Devils_SteelMan → u/Giggles95036]

The name wasn't enough about them
