Dear Boomers,
Do not play into the trap set for you. Do not blame the younger generations because they are blaming you. You are taking the communist bait if you do. Generational warfare succeeds when both sides are fighting.
Rise above. Stick with the facts.
The Facts:
1. You worked hard for what you have
2. You too paid into a failing system and supported your elders.
3. You were promised things that are turning out to be lies.
4. Your parents didn't set you up financially.
5. Most of you didn't even go to college, and you just wanted what was best for your kids by helping and guiding them.
5. Minimum wage in the 1970s was $2.20/hr.
I would love to hear more facts about what it was growing up as a boomer.
.@Starburst Whatever you did to the jellybeans, they are terrible now. Fat sticky balls of crystallized sugar. Seriously considering not buying them any more.
@JBlascoNYC It feels terrible now because we hoped for better. But he hasn’t won yet. In 2020 we didn’t know who won until Saturday. Need to give the folks in Philly time to count!
@leahfrombklyn Con Ed is now sending out alerts recommending cutbacks in AC usage. Those messages really should exempt seniors and other vulnerable groups.
@robreiner That could be a huge problem for the election itself. Check out the explanations from @BarbByrum about ballot deadlines - do you think the opposition would not challenge this in court?
