The American Prospect reported that several Democrats in closely contested districts would be voting for the ICE appropriation. “They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement,” an unnamed source told the liberal magazine. “They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

GenX they are all the moderators on Lemmy.world removing dissent comments and calls for action. That’s who they are. Center-right, 3 houses, great job, gonna inherit that boomer cash…. Your only hope is millennials and younger.

Some of us boomers are on your side. Not enough, but some.

I think we should just end social security and Medicare. I won’t ever get to use it at this rate so I shouldn’t have to pay into it. Let’s trim the fat.

Nice way to say, "f the generations behind us."

Pretty sure all the generations behind me said fuck the generations in front of us. So, cry me a river grandma. ;)

Maybe it will be around in some form or fashion, maybe it won't. While I am ok with Nietzsche, I am neither a doomer, nor a nihilist (although I have moments of weakness).

Did you mean Gen X as gen Z is in the younger than millennial camp.

Don't get me wrong a specific subset of Z actually did get housing and good jobs because of their parents covid money but otherwise excluding that minority it doesnt match them and overwhelmingly matches the apathetic Gen X
