What did they call the generation before the boomers? Cuz apparently they stole from boomers. I’m a late 60s boomer - a classification I do not agree with. I’m closer to whatever came after than what came before. Anyway, my kid, a millennium tried to pull some shit in me & I said “what ! You’re

I’m still grouped with boomers.
sorry ☹️
Boom, Bust, & Echo. Hated when that book came out
Late Boomers, aka, Gen Jones, are significantly disadvantaged compared to early generation Boomers. People in your age bracket, Gen Jones, are the fastest growing homeless demographic.
The Greatest Generation was called that for a reason&created the best economy in history allowing Bmrs to be the worst educated gen while still getting great jobs. They paid for the education you laughed at, & created the unions that made sure you had a living wage while functionally illiterate.
I mean technically Boomers take credit for things the Silent Generation as well.
And they also get blamed for things at the silent generation did and is still doing
going to inherent a shit load from me… cool your jets. Patience grasshopper.
Planet's on fire, your kid will likely spend it all on insurance and food, and die 10 yrs earlier than you.
Maybe but I’ve got grands too
boomer is a nutshell. You got yours baby!!!! Hell to the yeah MFer.
I’m a young boomer & got onboard as a tree hugging environmentalist very early & quickly. I remember watching, as a child, Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom & Jacques-Yves Cousteau !
You’re attitude is quintessential Boomer. You are what this post is all about. Congrats!!!!
I don’t get what you’re saying. My attitude ? I’m teaching my grands about essential survival skills because I refuse to have them grow up without paying attention to the natural environment. I have no idea what you’re generation is but Im pretty sure it’s an annoying one
Your generation consumed like locusts. Your parents had a garden and canned vegetables. Squirreled away money to help their kids (you) education. Boomers rejected that all, hoarded resources, refused to retire because they didn’t save, and then bad mouthed millenials. I’m Gen X. Saw all of it.
I am my mother’s daughter ! Watch your pennies & the dollars will look after themselves type.I know the segment of the boomer generation you’re referring.I’m not in that age group - they’ve got 10 to 20 years on me. You know what that means ?When I was a kid they were already teens & young adults.
I watched them complain about the previous generation to them wouldn’t retire to open up management positions. I watched them litter and spread like a virus into farm lands in things called subdivisions - lousy money making enterprises. I kid you not, I remember being 4yrs old & seeing forests
I would disagree. The Silent generation was the one that got Civil Rights and fought in the Vietnam War. Boomers really got into power when Reagan got into power. Hell even now they have an overwhelming makeup of Congress even though they are dying in office. Not all boomers but overall. They suck
I hate to break it to you but the silent generation was not fighting in Vietnam that was the boomers.
Early boomers, I agree.
So not really. Considering the oldest Boomer was 19 when the US intervention happened. That would mean those in their 20s would be very much affected which is the Solent Generation. It did last 8 years so less than half the boomer generation was eligible to fight
And every single year the new recruits were boomers not the silent generation. The silent generation started the war but the boomers are the ones who fought it. The average age was 22 years old. So after year two of the war it's skewed heavily towards boomers
So the ones already in the military would mostly be silent generation going into it and for the first about 5-6 years Silent would have been drafted. Hell it would take three years before Silent Generation was above that 22 years old
At the beginning of the Vietnam war the very first year of boomers would have been old enough to enlist. At the end of the war it was 9 years of nothing but boomers enlisting. with the average age across the decade of war being 22 years old that means the majority of Vietnam veterans are boomers
