That kid is unbearably obnoxious and annoying. After a couple of minutes of hearing her quasi-militant blather I have to turn it off and take an aspirin.

She's great. I'm 40 and she doesn't give me a headache. Pretty sure Rap is older than I am by a bit and he likes her stuff too.

Not sure where you get militant from at all.

I could imagine why, as a boomer yourself, you have no interest in watching this video.

I think it's just Soph being as provocative as she can be, trying to drum up views. It's all part of her business plan, which she was pretty open about after Youtube closed the "comments" section on her videos and de-monetized them* (*All in an effort to "protect advertisers" from being associated with pedophilic comments about child-based videos)

I think she's funny but I happen to think she's wrong in this case.

What the post-boomers are complaining about, of course, is that their lives are worse than the previous generation's, and so of course they do what most kids do: Blame mom and dad.

If you happen to think Soph is right about this, ask yourselves what "mom and dad" did that led to this decline in livig standard. Did they use up all of the soil? Did they use up all of the water? Did they use up all of the oil? Did they use up all of the money? Did they use up all of the work?

Nope, nope, nope, nope, and nope.

The only thing that the boomers (oh, and everyone since then) can be credibly said to have "used up" is the carbon-dioxide carrying cycle, and we haven't even BEGUN to pay back that debt! But after that, the decline in living standard is really about financialism and wealth inequality.

Well... to be fair, she's bitching about grandma and grandpa. Not mom and dad. She's also bitching about mom and dad too, but not for the same things.

Sitting on the sidelines here and watching my mom and step-dad make one horrible financial decision after another their entire lives and still end up better than I'll ever be doesn't exactly give me the warm and fuzzies with all I've got going on now. That includes watching my mom get her entire mouth replaced with cadaver bones and shiny new implants while I wonder how I'm going to be able to even afford dentures when the time comes.

Even better for them, she's going to start getting $1.6k per month social security this year too, giving them a combined total of over 3 times the monthly income I was making at my last job to sit on their asses all day long. Yay!

Do Right, Be Right. :)

I was trying to figure out if I was the generation that Soph was bitching about and I suppose I am, and yet I don't know how I fit in. My parents were highly influenced (some would say "scarred") by rough experiences as a child: Mom by growing up in a large family in the Depression and dad by surviving WWII internment, so I grew up with the idea that life could hand you a shit sandwich at any time. They were ... and I learned to be ... a reflexive saver and hard worker who was very conservative with money. MOST of the boomers parents must have had experience with the Depression; I thought it was one of those generational lessons that got passed on?

Anyway, I guess it can be frustrating to see your parents (or grandparents) making THE SAME kinds of decisions that you're making and sailing through confortably; but it's not their "fault" any more than it's your "fault"; they just happened to grow up in a mileu when America was the supreme industrial producer (since Europe, Russia, Japan, and China's productive capability had been destroyed) so it was easy to build up a trade surplus, easy to save etc. Also, the top income tax rate was 90%, so wealth inequality hadn't taken hold of the USA back then.

It's all entirely reversible, you just have to metaphorically string up the bankers and other American oiligarchs and just take back control of the USA.

Easy peasy!
