    Man, you just proved so many negative assumptions about the dumbass boomers in one go. Congrats, I’m honestly impressed how much of a stereotype you are.

    Observing the stunted development of someone going through all that is leagues away from gramps calling kids a bunch of pussies for not working in a coal mine.

    Classic ignorant boomer thinking they know anything and are super confident about it. The ‘no one wants to work’ meme isn’t just stunted growth, it’s literally the capital class whining about not being able to abuse people like they used to. Like, ironically the phrase started out as people bitching about a coal mine closing:

    “No one wants to work anymore” is a result wage stagnation. Living at home into your late 20’s is also a result of wage stagnation.

    Just absolutely wrong. This has been a cudgel of those in power to help keep the poors in line by turning the stupidest among them against the people who actually fight to improve things, and has been for over 130 years:

    So fuck off with your stupid bullshit, you ignorant clown.


  • I’m not taking your comment personally, just pointing out that this is the same shit I heard like 20 years ago from boomers when I worked fast food/retail.

    Your observation isn’t new or incisive, it’s the same tired boomer bullshit we’ve been hearing for decades. This is right up there with No OnE wAnTs To WoRk AnYmOrE, we can see through it like fucking glass.
