Ella, you draw an interesting rhetorical line where a BB response will prove your stated point. Well done. I’ll attempt to step around it. Not disputing. BBs were born into a new era of disposable income with a large demographic presence that made us the target for culture and consumables . 1/4
The new medium ,TV, targeted us for baby toys , cereal, Barbie’s, GI Joe, kids tv shows, rock music , clothes,. We owned the culture until recently. For a few minutes , before we could take power positions, some tried to effect change (war , race) and were beaten down by our parents generation . 2
I’m actually talking about Baby Boomers not the Jones generation there’s a difference.
I reject the distinction —-at least If there is one , it should begin later. And disco is a shared shame and embarrassment that spans the entire period. It was a horror to witness
That hoarding of money is what ruined the country and you admit it and think it’s something good it’s not. BB is why everything is screwed in this country because they’ve taken that wealth hoarded it and then dangle it over people as if it’s funny. Nothing is ever good enough for BB.
It appears that you’ve taken my words personally, which is why you’re approving my point. You seem to be trying to make a joke about it and then adding an excuse with the joke, as if it’s some kind of funny topic, but it’s not.
I sent a 4 part reply. Looks like it’s not all here. Anyway I like to engage on a number of subjects in a good natured way. I started out saying I’m not disputing your point and ended by saying I accept your judgements. My comments were light banter about how we got here…..
Generally and demographically—not you & me specifically. I am making light of it somewhat. You have taken offense The wealth transfer reference was demographic not about you & your husband. You are personalizing that. I do not hoard $ and am generous with my children. You are flipping general ….
Things being discussed to personal. I do have a 96 yr old FIL who is the O.G. hoarder of wealth, so familiar with that. Not here to score points or argue. BTW, the video you posted supporting your point was a bit on the light side as well. Good day
So in the 80’s we decided to get our own. We did. Idealism was chucked for greed. High finance was the new shiny toy . We coked up and made $. Now we aren’t targeted by the culture but we are sitting atop assets. Your generation awaits the transfer. 3/4
Greed over caring! EXACTLY! Nailed it! The funny thing is that wealth transfer my husband, and I don’t need it, and I still cared about my kids and didn’t mentally and emotionally abuse them. It’s always excuses!
So, on behalf of the demographic, I accept your judgements without argument, offering only my pathetic excuses. AND…. Disco music actually was the undoing our potential value to society. Just imagine DJT at Studio 54.
