Too many young people are resenting Boomers, claiming that Boomers had it " easy " financially in their youth. Here are a few fun facts about growing up Boomer. 1. Almost everyone grew up with one bathroom. Mom, Dad and all 3-6 siblings. 2. If you did get to take a vacation, you drove. With no air conditioning. No cup holders. No iPads. Just black vinyl seats and bologna sandwiches. 3. There were no club sports. No Parks and Rec activities. Summer camp was for rich kids. Get yourself a bike, a stick and a few friends. If you were bored, you laid in the grass and looked at clouds. 4. You ate what was served. Even if it was chicken livers. No DoorDash, no backup Totino's rolls. 5. No AP classes, no PSEO, no "fun" elective. They assigned you to a class. You went. You did what they asked. Or else. 6. Unless you had rich parents, you had a nice VFW wedding. Maybe rent a room at a modest hotel. 7. Most Boomers got their first pedi and mani in their 50s (when their feet got farther away). We didn't even know people got massages in real life, only in Hollywood. 8. You packed your own lunch for decades. 9. No one knew what red light therapy was, a facial, a spa day, or a cold plunge. Your gym was the YMCA. Usually in a rather old building. 10. We grew up with 18 percent inflation, 14 percent mortgage rates, 3 million continuing unemployment claims, and 200 other applicants competing for the same job. Now, this is not to say Millenials and Gen Z have it easy or don't face problems. It's just to say, nobody has it easy or doesn't face problems. My only hope, as my mom would say, is I live long enough to see my kids' kids complain about how easy they had it!

EXCLUSIVE: Multiple senior HHS officials estimate that, under Gavin Newsom, California's state Medicaid program has lost 25 percent of its budget to fraud. This would mean it is currently losing $50 billion a year to scammers, fraudsters, and organized crime rings.

Democrats spent the last year asking where their Joe Rogan was. Hasan Piker is one of the few left-wing figures with the audience they covet — but the party is deeply hostile to the spontaneity and independence that make figures like him appealing. jacobin.com/2026/03/democr…

BREAKING 🅱️ Zohran Mamdani’s advisers plan for socialized housing.. “Housing will be owned by a collective and everyone will be paying 30% of their income, in order to live in their housing.” “If someone makes $0 per year, they live for free — if someone makes $500k per year, they’re paying 30% of that.” Thoughts...??👀

@feelsdesperate Left correct re Vietnam, "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq, and downsides of trickle down economics. Inadequate or over-corrections were made without deep and honest interrogations of Right's errors. Left has *some* basis for traction. &so it goes, balancing evils/suffering.

“I spent $250,000 on a philosophy degree and I can’t find ANY work.” Years in class. Six figures in debt. ZERO payoff. She didn’t fail the system — the system sold her a LIE.

@robkhenderson It's important to remember that these were the elites that rose after the Bolsheviks took power; and they were more of a third or fourth wave of the elites. The first ones, in the 1920s and 30s, were destroyed by Stalin.

Rob Henderson@robkhenderson·
The people most committed to communism in the Soviet Union weren’t the workers—it was the educated elite. A retrospective study conducted in the 1990s titled "Work Ethics and the Collapse of the Soviet System," examined which groups were most supportive of the Soviet system. The researchers found that, compared to factory workers and semi-skilled laborers, individuals in white-collar positions—especially those with higher levels of education—were significantly more likely to express loyalty to the Communist Party. In some cases, support was two to three times higher among elites. In other words, the strongest support for the system came not from those at the bottom, but from those in relatively advantaged positions within it. This runs counter to the common assumption that egalitarian or redistributive ideologies are primarily driven by the least well-off. In practice, they are often most strongly endorsed by people closer to the top of the social hierarchy—those who benefit from the system’s institutional structure, or who are positioned to navigate it successfully.

He is the luckiest man alive! Younger wife initiates divorce. Three hours after the divorce papers are signed, he goes to the store to buy a six-pack of beer so he can go home and watch some sports. On a whim, he buys a lottery ticket and wins $20 million! Now she thinks she’s entitled to it.

@mattvanswol @BernieSanders We're already paying property taxes on real estate. Now they want to tax literally everything else. Just like during the feudal times in Europe.

This is so stupid. Bernie wants to tax what you OWN every single year. Not what you earn. What you own. Say you're a farmer. Your land is worth $2 million. But farming had a bad year and you only made $80,000. Bernie wants 5% of $2 million. That's $100,000. ..but you only made $80,000. You now owe more in taxes than you made... So you sell the farm to pay for the taxes. That's the wealth tax. Also, most of billionaires "wealth" is stock in companies they built. If Elon Musk owes $5 billion in wealth taxes, he doesn't write a check. He sells his Tesla shares. The stock drops. Your 401k ALSO DROPS. It's an insanely stupid idea and everyone but Bernie knows it.

Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you. If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment. Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.

Kilmeade: What do you say to people like Bernie Sanders who says billionaires don't pay their fair share? Dimon: I don't know what he means by fair share

Men think this is an improvement. MacKenzie Scott, Princeton graduate, writing novels at age six, studied under Toni Morrison, founded Amazon, and one of the biggest philanthropists in the history of humanity. Versus.. whatever the fuck this is.

@kron4news The conflict of interest concept is pretty universal. An established professional should not need any special training in it.

Sheryl Davis, the former executive director of San Francisco Human Rights Commission and leader for the city’s Dream Keeper initiative, was arrested today and accused of using taxpayer dollars for her own benefit. The district attorney said investigators found “a pervasive pattern of self-dealing by Ms. Davis when she was a City department head responsible for distributing tens of millions of dollars of City funds." Defense attorney Tony Brass said, what actually happened, was the city hired Davis and gave her no training in government work or managing city money. Full Story: kron4.com/news/bay-area/…

@FischerKing64 On top of that, we have an army of very well compensated bureaucrats who are supposed to be preventing this type of fraud from happening - but they don't. Instead, they appear to spend their energy covering up such fraud.

Imagine you are a working father living in the Midwest, you make 75k a year. You can support your family, but you're not rich. You worry about paying for college. Then you read about some Somalian stealing $1m out of federal healthcare programs. $1 million for the normal guy would eliminate an enormous amount of his stress. The college thing would be covered. Retirement wouldn't appear so daunting. It's why guys like this buy lottery tickets. And instead he pays into the system and watches "newcomers" make a complete ass out of him. This fraud is bad financially, but it just makes a mockery of all the hard work of normal people and tears away at the social fabric.
