Should we euthanize the baby boomers before they bankrupt us all?
The ME generation aka Baby Boomers have fucked everything up for the rest of us and are going to leave us with a massive tab to pay for their cozy retirement...all while attempting to fix their fuck ups. Let's be honest, we'd all be better off without them.

Re: Should we euthanize the baby boomers before they bankrupt us all?
Fuck no, I've voted yes to this. I'm just sick of the snow, trying to stay in shape, paying bills, paying for the kids college while I also paid for mine, worrying about the second one now, wondering if they're gonna like getting married in my back yard. Nervous about this fucking Shea Patterson, wondering if he's going to win a title for a horrible coach. Worried Izzo will retire after our Natty this year. Thinking the Bucks will never win another NBA title in my life. Tigers just sucking, the redwings aren't even worth watching. Fucking plow truck filling my driveway up with what seems like cement and Ice mixed. Trump starting a war with Russia and North Korea and reading articles about Millennials actually having jobs as emoji interpreters.
Where do I go for the needle? I'll sign up for it.

Thank you for your sacrifice DWags.
You guys ever read the book The Giver? The dystopian society euthanizes old people (as well as pretty much anyone with a "disability") but everyone thinks they're going to the afterlife to some paradise.

I'd offer to share a needle, DWags, in a money-saving final show of good faith. But, you, know, AIDS.

The book is a much more personal story than that, I don't want to ruin the plot for you but the government isn't toppled or anything along those lines.

What does it tell you geniuses that no one gives a fuck about gen x? Marketers don’t give a shit, businesses don’t care, no one talks about you....
Is it as you’re trying to portray that you’re actually super great and everyone just forgets? Or is it the truth- that you’re the C student that is so totally unremarkable that everyone just forgets that you’re even there? Good job assholes you made no impact whatsoever.

We're like refs Travis. When we're doing our job right no one needs to talk about us. It's when you fuck up the call, that's when you get talked about.

I'm just going to ignore this very hurtful comment and get back to work for the American people. Boomers can keep treating the economy like a credit card and millennials can continue to try and figure out why no one likes them. Have a blessed day Travis!

I have pylon on ignore so I don’t see any of that.
Just kidding I mean I see it and I read it but as soon as I’m done I just sort of forget because who cares what he thinks

Re: Should we euthanize the baby boomers before they bankrupt us all?
Gen X is like the middle management of an organization (coincidentally, many of them are currently stuck in middle management roles). Nobody would notice if they all got "laid off".
They haven't kept up with technology or best practices enough to lead us in the future and will be leap-frogged by high performing and technically skilled millennials that don't have families/houses (because most millennials can't afford them lol) to care for that drag down work performance.

So, this thread is so ahead of its time, what with covid sweeping through us and defiantly doing a number on the older folk like the baby boomers.
Turns out that the younger generations did better financially during the pandemic.
Americans under 40 saw their wealth rise by a staggering 80% since pre-pandemic — a far higher rate than any other age group, per new data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Looking forward to collecting my federal insurance money next year, and the covid did the euthanize thing already to the old people, so I am the single no vote.
No DWays - your children need their potential grandfather.

Seniors, and especially those over 80, are increasingly the most susceptible to COVID-19 fatalities, statistics show. Since the first week of December, 53% COVID-19 deaths in Michigan were those 80 or older, compared to 41% of the 39,173 deaths before then.
https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-health-watch/covid-tracker-cases-rise-again-those-over-80-more-half-all-deaths
Just to point out that covid is still doing its thing to old people, as this thread proposed years ago.
