Boomers:>forced to fight in Vietnam. survivors were hated by the public>lived through the oil crisis and a lost decade in stocks>fake email jobs didn't exist. hard work onlyMillennials:>no draft. those who chose to fight in fake wars got huge government payouts and were worshipped by the public>easy 10000x gains in stocks, crypto, housing>fake email jobsUnironically lower your tone when talking to the generation who handed you life on a silver platter.
>>62269945boomer here. You're ignoring the fact that in the 1970's I could literally buy a 2bed 2bath house and raise a family of four on minimum wage and my wife didn't have to work.Even we miss the good old days when shit was cheap and wages were high
8/10 bait postSorry OP, I will lower my tone.
>>62269953You can still do those things all you have to do is participate in zero risk wars like Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran where nobody ever dies, every enemy is killed with drones and airstrikes, and you can do whatever you want with the free money you get when you come home along with free education and healthcare.
>>62270303you can't but I already know this because I am a veteran and I work with veterans all day.The VA loans are helpful but you still need 2 people working full time at high paying jobs to afford the payments.

>>62269953Based. Zoomer here. Houses in my city start at $3 million. I have no hope of starting a family. My gf and I both work good white collar jobs, save all our money, and live with our parents, but it will never be enough
>>62270445california was always expensive. The average person hasn't been able to afford so-cal since the 1940's and even then all those guys got priced out pretty fast.
>>62269945You forgot that boomers also had to pay 25% APR mortgages while zoomies are crying about 6.5%. imagine some snowflake being sent back to 1980, they would cry at the interest rates and the lack of estradiol
>>62270538I don't think modern generations would have survived our elementary schools or jobsites. Differences were not well tolerated.
>boomersGaslight people about how hard they had it when they clearly didn't>millennialsWill feed boomers and jews to sharks.>zoomersWill post stupid threads like this from the safety of their Iphone 2026.
>>62269945These old fuckers systematically enacted policies benefiting their own short-term wealth at the expense of long-term societal health—such as lowering taxes, accumulating national debt, pulling up the economic ladder and countless other selfish fuckeries. The hate is well earned.
>>62270450Wrong. California was broadly considered highly affordable and a bastion of middle-class prosperity up through the 1970s. However, a confluence of soaring housing demand and strict development restrictions caused affordability to decline significantly by the late 1980s and 1990s. Democrats stole all the elections and screwed over the taxpayers big time.
>>62270850You might be right, I wasn't exactly tracking california property costs as a kid. All I know is my family lived there until 1950 until it became too expensive and they moved to oregon. And from what they told me it was never affordable after that.
>>62269953Nobody cares breeder fag
>>62270538who cares about apr when you can buty the house outright with the money you made from your summer job as a highschool student
