Won't someone please think of the boomers?!
(poptalk.scrubbles.tech)
The most important generation.
Wouldn't this be prime age for boomers to be great grandparents? Unless they mean paying for their grandkids college...
Boomers are 1946-1964. Definitely the older in the generation are in the great grandparent years, especially if they and their kids had kids young, but the younger boomers, especially if they and their kids had their first kids later, will be grandparents.
I wouldn't exactly call that prime time for them to be grandparents, then...
if they had kids at 30 their kids could have kids at 30.
"If" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
And that's still just for the youngest of that generation, not the whole of it... I don't know about you, but I'd hardly call a minority of a minority "prime".
even if I had kids my dad would be excluded from grandparenting due to the trump worship. don't need that kind of influence on the adult family members let alone kids.
Boomers should have thought of the shareholders.
That is, the kids they fucked over with their bullshit ideas and absolute misunderstanding of the world they created.
I'd love to be able to speak with my parents again, but (and I never thought I would ever say this, if you had asked me 10 years ago) I need to see some heads popping out of asses.
For some reason I'm not surprised about Facebook being explicitly boomer-centric
This shit is so dumb. "Anyone older than me is a Boomer!"
Boomers have been grandparents for some time. GenX as well in many cases.

I made a nextdoor account recently for my small business and one of the first posts I see is boomers decrying the closure of a small prop leaded plane toy airport closing to make way for apartments.
Wah traffic, Wah my homes value, Wah crime rates.
These people are fucking obsolete.
We have a new multi-block set of apartments going up in the suburb near me that they're doing the same about. It's going to ruin the town! It's going to lower property values! Won't someone think of the children?!
It was parking lots. It was just parking lots before. It was a place for commuters to drop their car and go into the city. I can't even with these people. The best part is that those apartments will probably bring in more tax revenue than their entire single-family subdivision!
So the share that has grandkids is the share that can afford them, right?
