My parents in their 30s This would make a lovely second home for our family to winter in. Hopefully the garage can fit both our cars, snowmobile and ski equipment.

Me in my 30s I'll never financially recover from this purchase.

Keep in mind, this is not the fault of the parents' generation. It's the fault of the rich who take more and more profit out of the working people.

It's the fault of the parents' generation for electing Reagan and letting them do it.

So it's your fault for Trump?

Just throwing it out there that only a tiny fraction of GenXers were old enough vote in the 1980 or even the 1984 elections. I am in my 30s and only one of my parents was old enough (and definitely did not vote for Reagan, I have seen their Mondale button), the other first voted for President in 1988.

GenXers in their 30's were not buying secondary ski houses, we were getting buttfucked by recession

Then who exactly is this meme about?

[โ€“] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Guessing boomers and millennials. I know plenty of millenials with boomer parents. And a lot of miilenials are still in their 30's (and fucked)

I think you're inferring a tone that is not there. Demmed textual interface

No tone, just wondering why you reiterated the part about millennials in their 30s back to me.

I'm a Millennial, but my parents are Boomers. ยฏ\_ (ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

Electing... meh. But not killing and eating him and his friends when he showed his true face? I'll never forget!

If you went back before 2016 when politics were less culty and asked boomer what they thought about Preidents. They all would have said Reagan was the best. He is Neo-Lib Jesus, bringing the teachings of trickle down economics to the world. They had decades to move away from Neo-Liberalism.
