Blown by Stone
Oh,...so it wasn't a stupid meme ? So there was no war to be fought in if you were born in 1949? hmmm........sure could have fooled these guys.
The meme was stupid. Just admit it and take your licks,....its no big deal. The first statement it made was woefully incorrect.
My boy Stoney loves to ride my baloney pony, and speaking of licks, he licks it like a lollipop. Feels good when he takes his dentures out. Well, he can't get it up any more.
How stupid.

And as a kid I recall my generation blaming their elders for just about everything, and in many cases we were correct

I don't think anyone is suggesting young people blaming older people today for issues like housing is something new.
Are you being literal or figurative? There are allegations that some of the Team Epstein that you support has been eating kids.
I am actually going to defend Diogenes here. Sometimes it seems like there were two different 60's. Some people had to fight in a war, but others were in a class that did not. It is completely valid for someone like trump did not have to fight in a war.
You probably should not have snorted so much cocaine.
And now we have gotten to the core of the problem. Stone hit on some young woman, or more likely man, and they were rude to him. It is just sad.You never heard of the saying............" o.k boomer" Said sarcastically???????
If your house has only doubled in value in 38 years, you have lost a lot of money. That is an increase of 1.8% per year. That is not even keeping up with inflation. Housing prices have more than quadrupled in that time, so your house has comparatively lost over half its value. This is a disaster for you.
Assuming you got your first job at 16, your inflation adjusted wages were $21 an hour. No 16 year old gets $21 an hour for wiping down cars today. Getting paid $21 an hour at age 16, and you were asking where were your tips?

Where are you getting this adjusted wages as being $21 an hour? LMFAO! I was 16 years old when I got that carwash job, and I was being paid less than $2 an hour. FACT, FACT, FACT.
If you were born in 1949, and were making $1.95 at age 16, you were making $1.95 in 1965. We then enter that into a inflation calculator, and come up with something $20.61 to $20.67. That is a very high wage for a kid today, and certainly nothing to complain about.

Back in 1965, the average wages was $4,122, while today the average is $69,846. So to get your same position in society, you would have to get paid $33 an hour. That is an insanely high amount of money for a teen today. No teens today have it as good as you did back then.
Which is why teen participation in the workforce has dropped. You do not pay people much, they chose not to work for you. It is called capitalism.

WOW you got that much I made $1.25 an hour.
And that wasn't bad.
Depending on the year, you might have been rich. If you made that in 1965, and worked 40 hours a week, you were in the upper middle class.
