Sorry guys you have to do like the Boomers you don't like and be responsible and pay off your debt like the rest of us did.
Just like the boomers, we too have affordable housing, living wages, affordable colleges...wait a second...
Hey look it's that thing where somebody says something on the internet so brick fucking stupid you can't tell if you're looking at an actual idiot or a parody of one.
This sent me on an interesting thought tangent: if we were talking on Reddit or, like, Facebook where anybody with a pulse could register and start shitposting then the quandary you propose makes a ton of sense. But with Fediverse, there are certainly more hoops to jump through to get to a post like this and leave a comment, right?
All of which is to ask if it's right to presume malice here rather than ignorance given the comparative barrier to entry? I vote malicious parody of one.
Boomers always say this shit, but Boomers could pay for school on a credit card. Their tuition was an 1/8th of what we pay, maybe less. My parents all went to school without even needing to take out a loan because school was so affordable
Boomers paying off a few thousand in debt to go to school is not the same as today's students who owe tens to hundreds of thousands in debt just to get an education.
Boomers who claim that because they paid off their measly loans then everyone else should have to are self-righteous pricks.
All this to say: fuck off boomer, your handout on a silver platter of a life shouldnt get to make decisions about ours
Even if the costs were the same what the fuck line of asshole thinking in "I had to suffer, so you do too" what the fuck happened to people wanting better for the future generations?
Boomers have it easy, so of course. Seriously though, get off your high horse.
Did you have to deal with insane inflation? No.
Did you have to deal with extremely competitive job market that increasingly demand higher level of skill? No.
Did you have to deal with minimum wage that doesn't let people live decent life? No.
lol. hilarious.
Since I got a lot of downvotes, I'm assuming you all are younger than me :D
How about assuming you have a bad take and reflect?
Are you younger than the lower 50s? I'm not and downvoted you. You should be ashamed.
Thanks for ruining the economy for younger generations
