    So many people hate the baby boomers but it was the boomers, and the previous generation, that fought for so many rights that we have. And this generation is doing everything they can to destroy what was fought for. It’s fucking sad. Roe v Wade (gone). Not having minors do jobs they really shouldn’t be doing (going away). Not have minors working long hours (going away). NLRB ( i don’t trust that the Supreme Court will find in the favor of the people). IVF (under attack). Gerrymandering getting worse, with no real way to stop it.

    By this generation (I mean the groups that came after the boomers). Did some boomers create some problems? Yes. But Damn did they get some things right.

        my point is still valid. the baby boomers (and their parents) fought for a lot of stuff and won and we are watching those things slip away. Roe v Wade was decided in 1973. which group of people fought for that? (and that’s just one example)

          Your typical boomer was barely above age in 1973, things are not as clear cut as you say they are imo.

            Which is why I’ve been saying baby boomers AND their parents. Just like today the younger generation were putting pressure on the older generation
