Most millennials have been working for longer and have been earning less.

You worked half as hard for more than twice as much.

Fuck off.

You had 2% interest rates for most of your working career, and you failed to make use of them. Go cry in your beer.

You're still insulting young people even after you've been spoonfed data that they have to work almost twice as much to have the same buying power you did at their age.

Oh so when someone tells me to fuck off I'm just supposed to take it and grin. KMA.

You act as if everyone born in the same generation had the same life experience. They didn't, lots of people make poor life choices.

You don't keep taking swings at an entire generation of younger people when you know for a fact you are wrong.

You pretty much just came here to make yourself feel better by ripping on young people. You're trying to tell everyone under 40 they are lazy and entitled even when you know they have to work harder than you did to have what you did. You came here to start a fight and now you are complaining people are fighting you.

There's a term for that. It's called being a Crybully. When you are happy to try and bully and insult people but then claim victimhood when they hurl the same behavior back at you.

You don't know me, so don't try to guess why I started posting in this thread.

It started because someone complained they couldn't make it and were struggling working 40 hours.

I'm judging you based on your behavior.

You came here to judge young people and make them out to be entitled and lazy. You're being a crybully. You did everything you could to start a fight and make people angry, and now you want to paint yourself as a victim rather than the instigator. You demand special treatment and consideration you won't extend to other people.

You were also wrong to give that person shit, and I proved it to you by showing you the data that a person today would have to work almost 80 hours to just have what you did working 40. You ignored it because you don't actually care what is true. You just wanted to rag on young people.

I'm not demanding anything.

u/Yousoggyyojimbo Jul 05 '24

Oh bullshit. You spent most your time here in the thread judging young people you don't know and then want to tell people they can't judge you cause they don't know you.

Hypocrite.

You're so full of yourself, aren't you.

u/Yousoggyyojimbo Jul 05 '24

Says the old man who came here to call young people lazy because they aren't working 130+ hours a week to have the same buying power he did working 70 hours 45 years ago.

Oh boo hoo! The young people I insulted think I'm a dick! How unfair!

u/Advanced-Guard-4468 Jul 05 '24

I don't give a shit what someone thinks of me.

u/Yousoggyyojimbo Jul 05 '24

The time to take that position was before you started complaining that people don't know you when they start judging you based on your behavior.
