Is it all the baby boomers fault?

My father had an intense dislike for Trump----even though he was a conventional business-type conservative.

My father was born in 1934 and was part of the silent generation (also referred to as the beat generation).He was very conservative in his younger years but became more liberal as he got older.He voted Obama in 08 and died in 2010 without any knowledge of Trump.

He died on may 28th the same day former king Edward the 8th died in 1972.interesting?And another interesting thing is my father died the same day as Gary Coleman 5-28-2010 Coleman died two hours earlier.

A certain horrible subset of the internet is calling the coronavirus 'boomer remover'

Errr...
Aren't the young people responsible for most of the irresponsible social mingling, as was seen on Bondi Beach?
Aren't they predominantly spreading the coronavirus?

AU $1000 is about $600 US.

I blame the Sumerians.

Those irresponsible civilisation-inventing reprobates: did they ever think of the long-term consequences?

Grrrrrr.

WOW JUST Wow .... there is a degree of personal responsibility that each individual should really take for themselves , being a late daughter of a man born before 1910 , There was a work ethic established in all persons born into my family . Even myself and my non verbal sister eventually although it took until her late teens early twenties it was not something that was optional . It was part of learning. Being concieved late in this mans life , he was quite prolific in his acheivements. But a different set of values as many people ,for his time he started out in a farm community .
Work was seen as a benefit. Not like free gov benefits but better job meant better benefits .
Now comes the idea of baby boomers whose ideas , were equality and free love. but the 50s generation were still into control of the masses and proper indoctrination of those in power .
( the establishment) the goal of the boomers was to get those in power to recognize the needs of humans as a whole. But using their manipulation of power , wars were prolong incited and idea of peace was downtrodden , Enforcing their edits through forced conscription of the populace .
those whom held onto their principals fled the country to Canada, Others jailed and branded draft dodgers, unless your parents were well monied , in which case if you submitted to prevailing governments edicts , you could be excuse or groomed into a position of authority in which you helped enforced this governments edicts . Which generally put you into a comfortable middleclass or upper middleclass role in society , as long as you supported those edicts. Times have changed situations have not too much, except the virus thing.. If your work ethic is high and depending upon your abilities you , either get into the Governmental flow or not.. Those not able to do gainful employment are still considered disabled and still looked on , generally as less desireable, as a prevailing opinion supported by a media controlled by big business and the Gov. Only slowly with great efforts and only very slight has the media in the recent years softened their veiws on the disabled. ..the Country is still run by government excesses for the government .. and this was the , the issue the boomers were trying to disable. But this is merely my own veiw, through the years of what i recall.. your veiw may differ. ( btw this is the condensed form}
