It’s a class war, not an age war. Also, it’s mostly republicans and a few democrats that made the unions not as strong.
This is actually your fault, btw
Boomers haven’t been a voting majority in over a decade. JD Vance is a Vice President by, of, and for millennials.
All the kids are screaming at everyone to vote for the lesser of two evils. That’s what we’ve all been doing for the past 80 years. Look where it got us.
We could have had Bernie, but one comment made by someone killed it: “Bernie is unelectable.” That’s all it took for people to run scared.
Fear is the most powerful emotion, and fear is how we are corralled, like pigs or chickens.
That’s the funny thing. Millennials are the biggest Coting block but nope not their fault its the shrinking boomers. I also think people don’t realize how old millebials and gen x are now.
I wanna be a horse trainer sooooo bad. But it doesn’t pay the bills. So I’m stuck fixing computers and dealing with idiots from 7:30-4 (and sometimes later) Monday through Friday.
I get my horse time after work and on weekends
I mean, the world works this way even before late stage capitalism. You have to do things that bring value to others to survive, you can’t just do what you think is fun all the time.
If you happen to love building houses, youll be set for life. Thats a skill we will always need. Some people are born lucky this way.
If your idea of fun is fixing old consoles and CRT TVs, sorry to say, you won’t make a living on that. Or if you enjoy music, good luck making a real living doing it especially today.
Thats why the ideal society wouldn’t tie work money to hobbies. You could live decently as a musician and a part time teacher if we had ubi and affordable housing.
Landscapers make a fucken killing.

No more than it’s your fault for not changing it right now.
Those jobs never paid well. Stop blaming one specific generation for 10,000 years of civilization not giving you a nice house.
Yeah inflation is a thing, prices are rising fast. But we’re here on Lemmy casually blaming old people instead of private equity companies, the ultra rich, and greedy mofo’s of any age…
