I’m a little bored of boomer bashing.
My boomer father:
- born into food rationing
- zero chance to ever attend university
- no foreign holidays, colour TVs, etc
- a ‘stable’ job, which he utterly hated
Cut them some slack too!

Although them stable jobs earned most of them enough to buy an average house. As opposed to Uni Graduates who end up in unstable jobs and unable to get a mortgage.

My dad could buy an average house from his stable job. I still can’t buy a small house from my unstable job. I wouldn’t trade.

It's doing nothing but creating a divide, generated by msm, it's perfect for governments worldwide. Divide and conquer.
Imagine how exciting a boomers life experience coupled with a Millennials grasp of technology could become.

BTW, I also hate Millennial bashing.
It's a negative narrative and totally untrue.
We have an amazing generation trying to make great companies, trying to add value and create services we don't even realise we need yet.

It’s also part of a trend for assuming younger people have all the wisdom and making older people out to be stupid. V annoying.

"OK boomer" is an answer, though, and to a particular kind of remark. And it is generational but it does not mean every person ib that generation. As it happens, it is probably abused but how "my dad had not an easy life" is an answer to that?

Thank you, Jamie! My mum is a "boomer" too under these same circumstances and is very open-minded and just an all-round lovely person. She's also always defending my fellow millennials from my criticisms!

Agree. Those hated stable jobs were exactly what drove social mobility and allowed many of us the opportunities and freedoms that higher education offers.
