Did you expect anyone on here to be over the moon at the thought of being killed off before our time to make space for the young.

I decided to ask my son how I could be a better boomer- He sees an avalanche of boomer related clutter/glut/waste in his line of work-

I wanted to discuss observations I have noted. You appear to be telling me to 'fuck off' for discussing something on a forum named chat. My children are generation sensible -z and I am generation x. I have noticed the 'ok boomer' attitudes on SM, and I don't like it.

There is also an increasing appetite for associated death for the elderly amongst the younger generation

There appears to be increasing substantial bad relations between generations on social media, generation Y seem to blame Brexit, high housing costs,the high care and pension tax burden, the environmental and financial difficulties on the W - Baby boomer generation rather than the older V generation. There is also an increasing appetite for associated death for the elderly amongst the younger generation.

Do you find this situation happening in real life or is it mainstream and social media lead during a time of reduced resources?
