OK Boomer

[ThatOwlWoman]

Precisely...there are no economic arguments to be made against taxing the rich. There aren't even any economic arguments againstsoaking the rich.

Now, there's "Boomers", and then there are "OK, Boomers".

"OK Boomer" isn't an age demographic, it's a mindset.

Explain "OK Boomer"?

Tax the fuck out of the rich and corporations and they will simply go to, and invest in, other countries. The world does not end at the US borders as liberal morons tell you.

My Grandparents were born in the 1910s, you fucking imbecile.

But whatever, you're just a pathetic hack who is no doubt going to create new IDs once Trump is gone, so people don't make you eat shit for supporting him because you can't take it.

OK I corrected my post you hate your parents and think they are the worst. I thought you were a drugged out teen and school drop out.

You mean like the rich are doing in New York and California?

[Damocles]

I'm no boomer... and stay off my lawn iGen!

boomers are the golden child generation of american history.

they got all the benefits of a powerful nation in full mercantilist mode. and they still get to feel good in old age outsourcing their grandchildrenz jobs. yes they were lied to, but that's an easy one to "go along with". now millenials get the baked in austere joy of "the new normal". they were lied to, but they could try harder to wake the fuck up.

Yep, great current example.

Or like how the Unions and Progressives drove manufacturing, factories and jobs out of the US and overseas, ... making Made in the USA a thing of the past.

[Joe Capitalist]

After WW2, the US was the Industrial Base to the World. Most High School Graduates could find a good paying Factory Job. College was cheap and affordable. After Bretton Woods, the US Dollar was the World Reserve Currency, effectively making the US #1 in the New World Order. We were handed EVERYTHING.
The Boomers took on War, Racial Strife, Woman's Equality, Drugs, Free Speech, and a Social Awareness. They did fairly well as Youth. As they aged, they lost their edge, became complacent, got fat, got lazy, and somehow ... watched Gore NOT win ... and then watched Hillary NOT win ... and now ... we sit here, sucking our thumbs, watching Trump shit on the Flag.
(scratching head) I'm not real sure how it happened, but we sure have let down the next generation.

Well, I didn't vote for the Orange Turd so I'm not to blame.

Sure!

A Boomer is someone who was born between 1946-1965.

An OK Boomer is Karen in Accounting who bemoans her inability to use the N-word even though it's in rap songs and movies.

Boomers did okay, they came along at a difficult time but they made progress.

The issue with Boomers now is that they are becoming increasingly irrelevant and moving out of the power center. This happens to every generation, when they start screaming for kids to get off their lawn's they have outlasted their place in the power center of the culture.

The Obama years were the worst in modern history. Thanks millenials.

You mean like they did from 1946-1965? Oh wait...they didn't do that.

But we cut taxes in 2018 and plenty of companies left like Carrier, BMW, and Harley Davidson.

I wish they could listen to the "greatest generation" who were the adults at the time while we were teens of 20 somethings spew about the President was sacred


how anytime you questioned their crap you were pummeled with WE SAVED THE WORLD YOU UNGRATEFUL CHILD spew


it was like a cult


they revered the corporations because during the war the people who ran them DID place country over profit because the assholes we were fighting would have TAKEN OVER THEIR BUSINESS if we lost


Industry and its profits had everything to lose in that war


so they for a time suspended profits and helped kill the evil ones


then the "greatest generation" pretended that when those old men died that their wealthy prodigy were going to be country over profit NO MATTER HOW MUCH PROOF YOU HEAVED AT THEM



they were not


they were spoiled wealthy fucks so lied and cheated anyway they could because its theior right because ……….capitalism!



we changed things


then the rich kids did everything they could to stop it


Like convincing everyone who would listen to us that it was us POOR kids who became hippies and fought the man by NOT just being mindless consumers and opting out of the corporate shill march were jusr spoiled idiots who never respected what the "greatest generation" did to save them


the funny thing is most of them who actually fought the war didnt do that


they NEVER wanted to Speak of the war


they had PTSD and no one knew what the fuck that was


but oh man that guy whos brother died in the war and HE NEVER went railed about how much he sacrificed and was a "Greatest Generation" member

You cut taxes in 2018, saying it would bring jobs back.

Instead, more companies left like BMW, Harley Davidson, and Carrier.

Now, manufacturing is in a recession.

I am a first wave 1946 Boomer, which means I share a birth year with such idiots as Dubya Bush, Bubba Clinton, and Donald Pigfucker Truimp.

Their inclusion makes it difficult to defend my generation, but some of us actually did ok. I put two kids through expensive private universities twenty-plus years ago, and I just put my seventy-three year old ass into a cool Corvette.

We did great cultural work in the 1960s, then half of us reverted to brain-dead wingnut status. Fortunately, I wasn't one of them.

Every generation has its hits and misses is all that I'm saying.
