the boomers thought the good times would never end. signed: a kid whos family owned dozens of acres of land on cape cod that was sold and mostly spent before i was even born. what little is left is going on to subsidize the postwar consumerist lifestyle of the postwar consumerist generation that are all retired now.

This was a big topic of conversation tonight at dinner. My great grandparents owned a ton of land in Maine and my husband's great grandparents owned 70 or so apartments. All sold before we were born and the money squandered. The ones that are still alive cry about how poor they were and how hard life was. Pffffff.

Boomers can eat my whole ass!

RIP I had to stop going to certain family gatherings because I was tired of getting lectures about it that don't take reality into account

Your smug condescension is only outdone by your shit reddit karma. Vermonters are by and large poor. Just the stats on 1st gen to go to college should be an eye-opener. Or the need for student assistance, mentoring. Vermonters survive by wearing many hats.

Newcomers over the past 5 decades have not displaced natives to the degree happening now. Your blatant insensitivity calls you out for the butthole you are.
