WTF are you talking about?
Boomers were born between 1945 and 1965.
They had the eight hour day handed to them.
Please stop using ‘boomer’ for anything that happened before 1970.
Shut Up Boomer

I get what you mean, memes like these still contribute to knowledge and consensus.
Today there are wars fought out with propaganda in forms of memes like these

I think the education on just how much the boomers were given from the previous generation and how little they passed on to the next generation while acting like they worked for anything and were entitled to everything should be repeated as often as possible.

Consoder that shitposts are the probably the largest form of media consumed and mis- or disinformation spreads quickly, regardless of medium.

No it isn’t, it’s a rant in a shitpost community.

That makes it even more funny, because boomers would complain about how hard it was for them, yet it was their parents that changed things for the better. Then when their kids talked about improving more, they told them to shut up.

If anything Boomers had it easiest when it came to finding a job and paying bills or a college education. Ever generation after had and has to go into stupid amounts of debt because the jobs did not keep up with inflation after the Vietnam War ended.

It’s not being used on just everything predating 1970, it’s “anything I don’t like is boomers”.
Be a millennial and think that social media is toxic, addictive (because of all the studies showing that it’s toxic and addictive) and should it have restrictions to limit its influence, especially to children?
“ok boomer!”

Civil War Boomers didn’t know how good they had it.

Pick up that phone and call a boomer right now! We got Victorian boomers, Rococo boomers, Renaissance boomers, Pre Columbian boomers, Fertile Crescent boomers, Paleolithic boomers. The oldest toughest boomers are waiting for your call.

I’m at 68 hours this week.
One salaried FT job (which, tbh, requires more than 40 hours most weeks and requires me to buy my own supplies. Also I’d lose it and get death threats if people knew I was LGBT!)
2 part time jobs that vary from 20-30 hours together each week.
I’m exhausted. I’m burnt out. I was thinking earlier about how nice it would be to get injured in a car crash and just sleep in the hospital all week.

Anything over 60 is too much. I will do it on occasion if it calls for it. But 50 is perfect for my liking and life.

Sounds like my life in my 20s (minus the LGBTQ). Unlike the current pile that we all had like so easy. What happened is that we eventually paired up so two people were paying the bills and we eventually got paid more and built equity and now 40 years later retirement is looking like a viable option. Certainly didn’t feel that way 40 years ago.

Its the 1% vs the working class, not generation vs generation.

oh man… 14 hours? Must be nice to get that much free time in a day. Next thing you’ll tell me is they gave you weekends off.

Nah, he’s right, the boomers didn’t complain. That’s why the unions are so powerless. Nice things take complaining to maintain.

The pre-boomer generations didn’t just complain, they physically fought for and defended their rights, and the elite feared them for it.
Then the elite changed tactics - either out of fear or strategy, they gave the boomers everything they wanted, and raised a generation of people who didn’t have to fight, but felt entitled to what their forefathers had fought for anyway.
In turn, the boomers gave rise to generations of people who thought fighting was unnecessary and harmful. Now the elite are back to tearing down rights again, and not only do we not fight, but we can’t even agree that it’s necessary.
