So tired of "boomer" shit-talk.

I have lived my entire adult life in cooperative/communal housing. I was raised by a single mom before your parents were born, on welfare. I have lived on the street.

I am a boomer.

I *am* wealthy: I live on ~550 acres of rolling wooded foothills with 60 other people, and I own a heritable lease to my house, and I also own my car, a '96 Honda CRV. This is because I have always invested in community.

Generation-talk is mostly just shit-talk.

@GeePawHill I will paraphrase Paul Ford (because I lost five minutes of my life to find the exact quote. That's how I roll.) - "articles about the difference between generations is just media fluff and clickbait."

@GeePawHill Every generation has produced both good people and assholes. To blame (or credit) a whole generation for anything is short-sighted and just plain wrong.
