@Humpleupagus @mushroom_soup Who is on their ass anyway? My only problem with X is they are too subservient for boomers. X would have my respect if they took over - is that ever going to happen since they're such big tough guys?

@coldacid @mushroom_soup @Humpleupagus That's funny because millenials say the same thing on why they're never taking a promotion. Can't buy a house but Gen X thinks I'm taking over their responsibilities? LOL. Fire those fuckin boomers and give me their money if you want me to take over your current duties so you can move up. Unless you want to be doing big boom's job forever while they get all the money and you do all the work.

There are a contingent of boomers that would like to pass down their wealth to X, but the tax code was written to make it very costly, because the government knows that wealth would be drained from the stock and bond markets and instead invested into homes (paid free and clear) and small businesses (that would then have no need to take on debt). That bad for the money lenders and traders. So they disincentivized it.

@Humpleupagus @mushroom_soup @coldacid Let me put it to you this way - Gen X are the only ones who can fix the current bureaucratic decay.Millenials are not in a position to take over the big institutions away from boomers and clean them out. Gen X is. They need their own Trump to go around firing all the people with fake jobs so there's money to spend on actually useful things again.

It would need to be a late Gen Xer. A lot of the early Gen Xers can be a bit npc boneheaded. The late Gen Xers tend to be a bit more existential. They've stared into void. And that's part of the problem. They see power as being ultimately purposeless, ironic, or comedic.

@mushroom_soup I never understood the boomer/gen-x obsession with getting slapped around as a kid. Is just so they can act tough around young people? Even as a Zoomer I still got slapped for talking back or eating with my mouth open, it's never something I'd brag about though. Seems like a weak people trying to compensate.Also lol at "and for the record my generation is the generation keeping democracy alive"

@Humpleupagus @mushroom_soup @coldacid Dude you are literally going to be the boomers' secretaries forever if you don't force them out. And so are millenials and zoomers, we need you to do it for us too, on top of you should already be doing it for yourselves.

No no no, not forever. Boomers have huge health issues, they're already starting to die out.But because they refuse to retire by the time they are gone all of gen x will either be retired or drown out by younger generations. They will be the generation that upper management skipped.

@Deplorable_Degenerate @mushroom_soup @Humpleupagus @coldacid If I as a millenial have to take the old boomers' job because Gen X won't, I'm not going to respect you at all and you're going to get treated like a subordinate. Do you want to be taking orders from someone younger than you?

What are you even talking about? Boomers occupy all the highest positions and won't leave until they die or are crippled, and even then.Middle management is all you can aspire for all until then and Millennials and Zoomers are just as responsibility avoidant as X.

Ones in my company cash out in their 50s. Our retirement starts in late 60s at earliest and for most it is 70s and couple that with watching your supplemental retirements they talk you into investing in hemorrhage cash for years in a row while inflation is "well controlled" and I think most of us know we will work til we drop and then our shit will be confiscated to offset the cost of our "care" by niggers in a home

Sad reality is that it isn't entirely boomer greed and stubborness. Retirement is 65 in the companies many of my boomer age relatives work in, many of them in middle management are only now being ALLOWED to retire and receive full benefits.

I definitely understand that. I am not a hater to the specific people who have it better just grinly aware of the disparity. Throw in the hopelessness of trying to do the White thing and save for the future as cash inflates and land taxes rocket upwards and it is a tad frustrating to say the least. But it is not personal

I'm just saying. I have this feeling that gen x will put up with less of the shit we see happening to boomers in the homes. "You can't punish a dying man" comes to mind. But yeah. In a worse case, I'd rather go out by my own hand than slowly rot in a home.

@Deplorable_Degenerate @mushroom_soup @Humpleupagus @coldacid I'm saying Gen X needs to hostile takeover those jobs and kick the boomers out by force. Maybe middle manager is all You can aspire to, I can think higher than that. I'm not content to wait around for boomers to die forever.

@Humpleupagus @mushroom_soup @moyai exactly this. We know the boomers are incompetent fuckups. We know the millennials (and younger) are spoiled incompetent fuckups. And most of us recognize the we ourselves are just as fucked up, and that none of us should be allowed to run things. It's pretty much all going to hell no matter what, so we're just going to enjoy the ride down.

Gen X can, by and large, but split into two groups: Boomer Lite and Proto-Millennials.You can guess the problem with both groups. I've found these molds are rarely broken.

@sickburnbro @coldacid @moyai @mushroom_soup @Humpleupagus My memories of the 70s are of regular power cuts and candle lit dinners, my granddad on strike every other month, my dad moaning about petrol prices going up all the time, rubbish bins not being collected because more strikes and white dogshit on the streets. Also no non whites where I lived for another decade or so.

@Paultron @kvit @mushroom_soup Vainglory is remarkably unappealing. They might have gotten affordable homes but they fundamentally missed out on personal growth. A house is really nice, but I'd had to be a child in my old age.
