My biggest shock growing up was coming to realize how many scams are just accepted as part of society.
Renters insurance, car insurance, service fees, service contracts, income tax, sales tax, property tax, car registration fees, emission tests and fees, estate tax, advertising on cable TV, tipping, it just goes on and on. Everything is a fucking scam. You can't just decide you want X and pay Y everything has a hook or a gotcha.
Life was never "fair", if you ever believed that you are a dumbass. Yes boomers lived in a MUCH better economic time than you. It was an outlier in history, the kind of prosperity that comes along once in a thousand years. You will never have what they had, not even close. No, they didn't take it from you. It was their elders (greatest & silent generation) that sold off all the jobs to Asia and opened the immigration floodgates. They were simply along for the ride.

Yep, life ain't fair, so don't complain when student loans get forgiven when you already paid yours off :)

I'm not a boomer. Seriously though, what is whining about how unfair things are accomplishing for you or the world? The boomers failed at passing along a better world to their children than they inherited. Does that give you a pass for being a nigger? Be better than they were.

It isn't. You vote for the people that took it from you

You know if you want to keep the scam going, you have to at least have kids to enslave for your gibsmedats.
The way to be better is to accept a broken system and do nothing about it? You can stand up and change things. It starts with speaking up about how shit the deal is. I guess you can call that “whining” kek. If everyone is afraid to even say something no one is ever going to do anything. You can unironically take over the world with a hundred good men. You would rather everyone keeps their mouth shut and just takes it? The system has slowly morphed to the point where we are nearly all worms writhing in dirt. Pretty soon it’s going to become a closed loop with no escape unless there are some big changes.
