America falling apart is funny?Now that's funny!
The world won't end if Shillary wins, it will just get progressively worse off.America falling apart is funny?
I can't wait for all of these corrupt politicians, and people that make excuses for them, to be at the bottom of landfills where they belong.
No it's not. It's going to get much better here, soon. The old establishment is on its way out. The market's going to crash at some point, which will lead to relative wealth redistribution.The world won't end if Shillary wins, it will just get progressively worse off.
I am honestly glad I only have a couple more decades left. It's going to get really ugly after that.

All those religious nutjobs that poisoned this country will be dead. The future will be glorious.

Temporarily. The market crashing (and potential upcoming deflation) will shift things back towards your average American.Yeah, but that distribution is going up not down.

The world is overpopulated by roughly 5 billion people. The next few decades will see climate change, mass food shortages, water shortages, the depletion of the easily accessible oil, etc...
Meanwhile, the boomers have already fucked everyone over. We won't be able to fix some of this for decades, and other things like' climate change can't be fixed anymore.
Spoken like a religious twat that believes in infinite resources.Step away from the glaucoma treatment.
Most of the blame should go to the "Greatest Generation" that came before the boomers. The boomers were only 30 or younger when the de-industrialization of America started, and our manufacturing base was moved to China.That is funny. You poor thing you.

As always, not all Americans supported this move. Much like today, it was a situation where 51% wanted to destroy America and 49% did not want to destroy America, so it seems unfair to place blame on 100% of that generation.
I'm not sure who started the idea of having a "service economy" but they certainly deserve some kind of award for being either the smartest person ever (successfully selling a stupid idea) or the dumbest person ever (actually believing the idea). In simple terms, the theory is that a coal mining town could have all of the coal miners leave, and the town would continue to exist just because reason, or something. The service economy theory states that all manufacturing of things like microprocessors and industrial machines will go to China, but all of the engineering and research jobs related to those industries will stay in America for basically no reason whatsoever, and the economy will continue to grow while all we do is borrow money and sell houses to each other.

Well said. The left's answer is that we'll borrow our way to prosperity. The right's answer is screw your uppity ass for questioning our authority.Most of the blame should go to the "Greatest Generation" that came before the boomers.

This is true. While a crash hurts them, it is also an opportunity to pick up valuable assets at garage sale prices, so when things do recover they are better off than ever. The average Joe (to a great extent, due to intentional choices) tends to have very few choices or opportunities when everything goes south.The elite tend to fix the tables in such a way that they win no matter which way the chips land. When things go sour they will be the last to feel the pinch and the first to bounce back.
No the blame pretty much lies with the boomers. Their voting presence has pretty much led to the shit policies we have today or are still dealing with. They are the "me" generation and continue to be the "shortsighted" generation.
They 'figured' everything out thirty years ago, and vehemently reject new information. They aren't even just poorly informed, they are also misinformed.

Yeah, right
Like that is what happened only in the last couple decades everytime things have went south.

You have to be really young, but I've said that before I guess.
Dwight pretty much left office and said it all in his farewell speech, things have just went progressively went that route ever since, and just have spread into other areas with deregulation of banking and expansion of corporate rights.
Not like this hasn't been posted before, but WTH. Short version.

Well.... Isn't it the Boomers that were the parents of Millennials ?
Sorry, you definitely get some blame for producing a generation of entitled brats
