View submission: True, who are they to complain

Boomers are well aware there will be nobody around to fund their pensions and change their geriatric diapers, and are busily hastening the apocalypse as insurance against such an outcome.

Sitting here as a young Gen Xer (Xennial?) watching my Boomer parents living the golden life on help they got but totally kept to themselves while my Zoomer kiddos struggle = pile of suck.

I wanted to be a grandparent someday, and it's infuriating that a lot of the Boomer generation hoarded resources and closed the door of opportunity behind them so a lot of us Gen Xers won't get to be grandparents.

Don't worry, Mitt Romney floated the idea of Boomers pilfering social security because of the massive wage gap they created... You know, the one and only thing that would save us millennials from dying on our feet when we're old? Yeah that. They want it.
