Too bad my generation (X) is shaping up to be garbage, just like the Boomers. You'd think we would have learned from the example they set, where we had it fairly good as kids & young adults but saw the Boomers hellbent on trying to keep it all for themselves as we got older. Nope, apparently a lot of us are seeing fit to try and do it to the generations behind us: Millenials, Z, & Alpha.
I just overheard a GenXer telling some gen z newhires at my work that social security is going to cut benefits in 2030 because 90% of immigrants are on welfare. I was in the next room so it was too awkward for me to jump into the conversation and straighten him out. It's very frustrating. Stop watching conservative media. It will rot your brain.
Immigrants are like the free square in bingo to many people. Anything you don't like, you can blame on them. It makes life easier for a certain kind of person.
Not too surprising I guess. Gen Xers I know paint themselves as more laid back than Boomers, and in some ways they are, but they are exactly as corporate and bureaucratic as Boomers in many other ways. Whatever rebel spirit they had decades ago seems long gone now
They're better parents than Boomers were I think, but not really better bosses
Shocked that there's somebody in congres that's born in 1923.

Obviously a generalization though
Didn't X get more childhood lead than anyone else? Dealt a bad hand maybe.
We did and we were statistically the most violent generation. Anecdotally, when I was a dumb kid, we honestly went looking for fights.
What many people forget is that more GenXers wanted to beat up Kurt Cobain than to listen to his music.
