Not just the US, we can't buy a house anywhere, boomer cunts stole everything from future generations and will claim to their dying breath that THEY had it rough.

Dont fall for the intergenerational war. The rich are sitting on all the assets and stealing from future generations

[–] CptOblivius@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Ya but they rich are mostly boomers and boomers are actively voting and supporting policies that make this worse. It's not universal but does hold some weight.

Correct. What all these places have in common is housing expansion after WW2 when personal automobile became a thing for majority. There is no more cheap land. We are back to 19th century and it sucks.

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 1 points 2 days ago

Kinda but almost everything is 1000% more expensive.

So you grew up rich? Your parents had no struggles at all right? So I mean, wow, that must have been nice. They basically had infinite money to raise you with... that's awesome. I'm happy for you

What? Where did i say i was rich? How does your brain function? And my parents didn't have struggles?!? My mother and stepdad didn't have power or running water for 5 years in the Balkans btw, whether that's legal or not who knows and i don't think the cunts that turned it off cared anyway.

You said, "boomer cunts stole everything from future generations and will claim to their dying breath that THEY had it rough."

But then you said, "My mother and stepdad didn’t have power or running water for 5 years"

Weird, it's almost like they did have it rough after all

You need it spelt out for you or something? My mother was born in 1966 so she doesn't qualify as a boomer and also those boomers that you want to defend could buy a house or two with one income while having 4-5 kids while most of us today can't afford anything with two incomes and no kids.

oh wow, so you were the first poor family? I had no idea life was a perfect utopia where nobody struggled until your parents. I always thought the story of Adam and Eve was something that took place millions of years ago but it turns out it happened in 1966.

I'm honored to meet the child of the first humans to ever suffer
