Gen-Xer who remembers the cold war and also lived through all that other shit: Welp I guess I'm flinging myself back off the fucking wagon.

You got to benefit from the 80s and selling off of all our national assets to prop up our economy for 2 decade's

You lived in the good times and called it "the cold war".

From a millennial give us our stuff back (to the state who gave it to you).

Man, don't pick a Millennial vs Gen X fight. Most of Gen X got just as fucked as we did and pretending otherwise is some ageist bullshit

Boomers ruined the economy and sold Gen X and Millennials the American Dream. We both figured out it was a lie too late. Gen Z is the first generation to see the truth from an early age and I won't be hearing any trashtalk about how they're lazy because of it, either

Sure, more of Gen X benefitted from the boomer economy than Millennials but that doesn't mean they owe us something. We're on the same team.
