"Generational politics is bull..."

90% of my bad experiences with customers come from Boomers. Something about being born in that era makes you an entitled, impatient dickhead.

I had a very bad day at work if you couldn't tell.

it's not a generation thing, it's an age thing, factors that others have mentioned can also be impactful, but im seeing the same shit here and we didn't have the wealth nor the leaded gasoline.

you're 65, working all your life taking crap from everyone else, now you paid your dues to society and want to live your golden years. everything hurts, your joints are as stiff as your neurons and you simply cannot give a shit about what everyone else thinks. hot take but millennials will be worse.

No fuck that, its an entitled douchebag thing, before they even cracked 40 they were acting like that. Ask me how i know lol

Millennials would broadly be kinder to service workers but it wont matter because the planet will be ashes by then

I think most of the cool boomers are dead 😔. What were they like in their forties? I remember my parents being smokers who were leftwing enough to complain about corporations, vote third party, and even start a tenants’ union (which they then abandoned), but they’re just CNN liberals now. They were not very present in my childhood. I was raised by star trek: the next generation.

My dad went all conservative and then never obama then forever trump. He was always an asshole and racist, he watched star trek but didn't actually get it it seems.

we didn't have the wealth nor the leaded gasoline.

actually actually leaded gasoline emits lead into the atmosphere, which gets dispersed globally. the peak in atmospheric lead levels in the 1970's affected everyone on earth.

Getting old will suck even more without children to alienate.

Other generations still have Covid. Shit fucks brain damages you long-term just like lead does
