Boomers: all those taxes that made our families possible - nah fuck that. Keep the minimum wage locked for 15 years.

Also Boomers, “Minimum wage was never meant to be a living wage.”

And yet, the person who created literally said it was.

Ok then let’s change it to be so? Do we want people to do those jobs or not?

You used to be able to buy an entire house, pay the mortgage, support a small family, and still have minimal left over. One salary. Companies used to reward loyalty more than they do so you didn’t need to job hop to get anywhere. Universities were affordable, like you could work any job and pay for the semester from that.

Someone more familiar with the economic conditions correct me if I am wrong. Boomers could afford to live because venture capitalists weren’t extracting all the value from the economy to buy yachts.

Why would you link to some gold bug garbage when you could be sending articles on Reaganomics?

Sure, in fact, I’m about to have a kid very soon.

Oh wow great. You know what it’ll be yet?

Well of course, they’ll be a wage slave, just like their parents.

Boomers are the most selfish generation 🤷‍♂️

It’s a bit of a selection bias. The self-sacrificing, hard working boomers have died out.

Only the greedy lazy bigots are still standing.
