General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Buffoon leaders... and how we milked the EU, by veteran Greek columnist and commentator [View all]what I am saying is that "the old people" sat idly by letting all this come to fruition.
The older generation (boomers) could have stopped this shit years ago.
Ignorance, maybe? But it was so easy to get along and go along and not making any waves.
The boomer generation has literally fucked every generation under them in U.S today, because let's face it, politically and financially while you guys held the reigns you turned a blind eye and did not hold a politicians, bankers, and corporations accountable for shit.
You guys created the scenario to get us to where we are today. You guys for the past 30 damn years turned a blind eye to corruption, accountability, etc....not once did you guys demand better, so they rolled right over your generation. Now, my generation and younger gets to try and clean this mess up.
Your generation did not guard the watch tower, your generation turned a blind eye.
Your generation gave us a bought and paid for political system by bankers and corporations.
My generation and younger has not the slightest chance of doing as well as your generation, you guys let them rob the younger generations future.
Your generation put us into the endless Iraq war. Your generation set us up as the World Police force. Your generation used to have manufacturing.....your generation subbed that shit out to other countries. Your generation gave us work visas.
I would have enjoyed the prosperity of your generation and probably would have done the same fucking over of the younger generation as it sure was party time for the boomers. Not a care in the world, not a bit of accountability for shit.
Your generation had the "Hippie Movement" to question all authority which was great....that is until they became the authority and robbed the place.
Your generation failed miserably, although you will say it was the "good ol days" it was only this way because you guys sold out the younger generations. And now we will have to clean up your mess or live a life of medium wage jobs and government assistance.
Your generation voted all these fuckers into power and gave them this power. Your generation bailed out the bankers vs. the folks.
Your generation has given us the NSA. Your generation created the terrorists of today.
The boomer generation was a generation of selfish narcissists.
Today it is still the same. Your generation is QE'n and stop loss the stock market, you guys are bailing your own investments out. Everything we have done over the past 40 years has catered to the boomer generation and it still exists today. You guys continue to set everything up to take care of your interests, telling the younger generations "tough luck" all the while.
