>"When I was your age I worked down a coal mine"
Now you've raised three daughters to be coal burners and ruined the economy
Thanks
When I'm old I'll sit in public places (if they still exist) and curse at children that are walking by:
"When I was young I learned all day"
"At your age I worked in the acidmines"
"you don't even know what real work us"
Just generally lie. I actually look forward to that, if I manage to survive long enough to be old.
>>28117234
And then you shipped all those jobs overseas.
Thanks!
>>28117269
first post bp
boomers sure love to use the word "mine"

>Go to Google, search for 'inexperienced coal mining jobs'
>Find 20+ in West Virginia alone, $18/hr to start
>Call number - if you can pick up 40 lbs and aren't deaf and blind, you're hired
>Offered me the job over the phone
>>28118760
Seriously? This actually works?
I would do it. There are no coal mines here but I am willing to move. Where I live even being a dishwasher requires experience.
>>28118785

Anon, you lied to me.
>>28117234
>I am Gen X
>Wait for Millennials to bitch about how they can't find a job
>Laugh, tell them, "I enlisted at 17 and by the time I was 19 I had a Top Secret clearance, was responsible for $64 million in classified equipment, and was a squad leader responsible for the lives of 7 other people. By 23 I was married and making $60k/year while going to college nights and weekends, by the time I was your age I owned a home, a car, and had kids"
The always, ALWAYS, reply with some variation of
>Yeah, well, things are different now. You can't do that anymore"
So I reply with,
>"My oldest son is Gen Z. he's 19, already finished college, is making $40k/year, has his own vehicles and apartment, and has no debt. My next oldest is on track to do the same. What's your excuse?"
I love the look on their faces. They desperately want to think I am lying but know by looking at me I can prove it.
The problem with Millennials isn't that the Boomer sent their jobs away, it is that they *still* believe what the Boomers told them about work and jobs!
>>28117234
>Well I won't reach your age because you've milked the world dry off its resources without a fuck to give

>>28118874
That's a very narrow look at the current economic climate compared to decades ago.
>>28118874
it must feel really satisfying making up stories that conveniently and perfectly counter the narrative of whatever particular thread you're posing in, anon. i think i'll give it a try.
>>28118874
>by the time I was 19 I had a Top Secret clearance, was responsible for $64 million in classified equipment
you father worked at nintendo too?
I can't really relate to the baby boomer hate when I've never attempted to get a job or further my education.
>The jews have successfully foisted the blame of financial capitalism and globalism on a generation of slightly then-luckier peasants for the lost generation to blame for their displacement at the hands of a continued financial elite and their associated interests
Good GOOD goy, HATE your boomer parents! Everything was their fault!
>>28118941
See?
Another variation on,
>Yeah, well, things are different now. You can't do that anymore"
Listen, I know that, as a Millennial, your education actually made you less capable of actual thought, so let's hit you with some facts, shall we?
1) It was *worse* in the '80s.
Yeah, really.
Unemployment had already been high for a decade before the recessions of the 1980's began and then the unemployment rate got higher than anything related to the Great Recession, just as Gen X was coming of age
[more]
>>28118941
Plus Gen X began their working careers at a time of spiking inflation, meaning that every month our money was worth less, not the same.
In contrast, Millennials got just a touch of DEflation, an itty-bitty amount of inflation, and then the lowest rate of inflation in generations.

I have no idea why a successful person with things to do during the day and a family would come to this garbage dump.

>le i just come here to laff at u guise maymay
>>28118941
>>28119074
>>28119100
So, yeah - it was hard for the generation before you (the Gen X generation) to get a job and to buy a home. The Boomers, your parents, called us the 'Slacker Generation' and we were the first generation to be worse off than our own parents, and we countered it by starting more new businesses than any generation before us.
Or after.
So you don't like Boomers? We were screwed over first, while they were still dropping you off at soccer.
Now stop whining and go make your own job
>>28119048
They shouldn't have fallen for the merchant's schemes.

I'm here to help

>>28119179
>Go make your own job
>joined the government jobs squad and got a free job
>I worked one of the 1000s of entry-level positions for 18 hours a week to pay for my $400 a semester college tuition so I could get a bullshit degree
>a degree which got me a guaranteed management/skilled labor position with high potential of directly out of college in a field that was completely unrelated to what I studied
>I then married a women who assumed control over my finances and worked overtime so I could buy her Coach/Michael Kors bags and shoes so she might let me stick it in tonight before bed
>now i have two shit kids who sit around on social media all day and my daughter keeps posting twerking vines so I need to take away her iphone and she keeps bringing over this shit little thug nigger named Jamal
>he looks at my wifes tits and that $40 I left sitting on the table went missing after he came over that one time
>I bet the little fucker took it and spent it on black & milds and grape drink
lol boomers
>>28119204
Yup.
And the GI Bill
so - no debt plus an education
then work, then make my own company, then sell it, etc.
Look, go down a coal mine, or get a CDL.
Here are three quick questions; answer them and I can start the process ofgetting you a job
1) How old are you?
2) Do you have a driver's license?
3) Are you physically disabled?
the joke is most people bitching about boomers around here are too young to actually have boomer parents
>>28119280
Tbqh people born in the 50s-70s are frequently materialistic, self-important, judgmental twats who draw conclusions without considering the changes that have occurred over the course of their life..
>>28119198
The inflation rate has been measured differently by the BLS at different times and is basically a shit measure of inflation. The unemployment rate has been fucked with, too (What's that? Haven't found a job in 5 years? Guess we'll just drop you from the labor pool to make things look rosier, then). Tuition rates are also very fucking insane, and that's coupled with massive degree inflation and job growth that is primarily concentrated in low-end service sector work.
http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/unemployment-charts
This is good place to start doing research into how things actually are right now. Since you're a genius Top Secret veteran, I'm sure you can find the rest.
The climate IS different, you're just measuring it in ways that simplify the entire situation- though that doesn't mean it's as bad as many millenials make it sound. Gotta remember, too, that with the internet, whining to everyone all at once is as easy as bitching to the person next to you; we're in an echo chamber.
Granted, Millenials will just be bitching about Generation Whateverthefuck in the same manner. Every gen thinks the world is ending.
>>28119264
Gubbment Job Squad is pretty picky these days, so I'm unqualified to join, unfortunately, for a pretty stupid reason; otherwise, I'd probably go get me some military work too.
As for the rest, I don't really give a shitbecause I have a job that's not that great but a nigga's gotta get experience somehow and start somewhere.
>>28119446
>"Yeah, well, things are different now. You can't do that anymore"

Lemme guess, you retired in your 40s and now all you do is shitpost on /r9k/, right?
>>28117234
When you were my age, houses cost $5000 and you could support a family on a single minimum wage income.
>>28119704
Listen, nancy, your tenuous claims that unemployment WAS TOO worse and inflation IS TOO bad, etc. is just the same appeal that i posted. And your weasel language doesn't change that.
You don't want to be called out on making unsupported statements?
Don't make them.

Thats called white privilege.
If only your son was poor and had to work his ass off to pay for college like the rest of us.
>>28120294
Shut the fuck up, Bernie, I'm white and poor as FUCK.What his boy has is called nepotism and it is the most powerful job seeking tool on the planet, and works regardless of economic climate, country or region.

>>The problem with Millennials isn't that the Boomer sent their jobs away, it is that they *still* believe what the Boomers told them about work and jobs!
No actually outsourcing all of america's jobs is a big problem for the middle class. It's great for the 1% though, their overhead cost goes way down and therefore more money for them as a bonus.
>>28119838
A) call local community colleges until you find one that has a CDL course (HGV training centre in the UK)
B) Ask them which local companies sponsor students in the CDL program
C) Find out which sponsors not oly pay for the course but give you a stipend and a 1 year contract
D) Enroll
E) Submit paperwork to sponsor
F) Collect your paycheck for each week of class
G) after 6 weeks start your full-time job with benefits and a 401 (k)
well?

No, that is called 'starting college at 16' + 'getting scholarships'

>>28120391
I don't qualify for CDL anymore (mental illness keeps me from getting a Federal Medical card). I actually drove a truck for ten years before my life fell apart, which is why I still have the Class A license even though it's not commercial.
>>28117234
How do I get put in a mental ward willingly
>>28120422
Yeah, I'm sure that's the only reason your applications have been rejected. It couldn't be, like, they hire the people they know over you, or hire better qualified candidates, etc.
>>28120356
No, what's really wrong is that the boomers lived through an unprecedented profusion of wealth that has never before touched a middle-class so thoroughly. It was a result of WW2 leaving America as the only fully intact nation, letting it become over half the world's economy practically overnight. America will NEVER experience something like that again.
>>28120294
>white privilege
It's just that all other races are lazy and expect everything handed to them
>>28117234
my parents still support me , 24 year old student
they never said anything like that, even when I was a neet for 3 years
they have no expectation because they never teach me anything or give any advice
>>28120469
Holy shit.
you're adorable.
Please tell me how then, and in detail, outsourcing helps the middle class.
No really. I want to watch you dig your own grave of right wing idiocy.
Write it up and post for the world to see.
>>28120469
>America will NEVER experience something like that again.
>>28120544
Are you implying that this dumbass will send us back to war again and back?
>>28120512
I never said or implied any of that, you illiterate fuck.
My only point was that the boomers have experienced a level of wealth and distribution that is very rare, and that's being used as the standard measure of how an economy " should" be ever since. Of course outsourcing is bad for the middle-class.

>>No, what's really wrong is that the boomers lived through...
You said "No" and pointed to something else.
Anyway yes. The boomers did experience a good wealth distribution, much of that from the GI bill which allowed a large chunk of the working class to receive FREEEEE EDUCATION.
Wow. Shocker. A society that invests resources in its own working class actually reaps the benefits thereof. Who fucking knew.
If you wanna go back to that, then maybe look at funding education?
Or we can keep the current system of wage slavery. If you enjoy being a house nigger, that is.

This. I've put in over 170 applications. Almost have my associates. Have a fancy as fuck .pdf minimalist resume with 7 years of job experience and two years of it being the top employee at a call center, so you know I can handle anything. Im attractive and a fun and awesome personality. Yet the only call back I've gotten is from best buy for a parttime 6 hour job to move boxes. I've been trying for over a year. I give up. Maybe I should Change my name to Smith.
