>>1532150You live in Canada so you know that the housing market is absurd here. Boomers could buy their first house for $30k whereas we are looking at $400,000-1,000,000 for the same house in the same cities.
Wages have barely improved yet food, insurance, education, taxes etc have skyrocketed.
Boomer pensions and healthcare are bankrupting us and we will never see pensions and golden parachutes like they have... but we'll be paying for them. Saying, "well they worked for it" is bullshit, because they essentially created an unsustainable system that pushes the costs and repercussions onto the next generations.
And the cherry on top is this: our generation will have 0-1 children because we can't afford them thanks to Boomer antics, and the rich white-guilt Boomers are now opening the gates to Muslim refugees/immigration because, "the population isn't sustainable". They get to sit in their gated communities feeling ultra-progressive with their fellow white oldheads while we get to deal with Mohammed and his 100 kids destroying our social fabric. Oh yeah, and when you or I apply for jobs we, white males, are put at a disadvantage because those same white-guilt-afflicted people who have never had to look for a job decided that others should get to check certain boxes that put them ahead of hard-working, intelligent white folk.
So yes, fuck boomers.
