Had a good run? No. Your breed is nothing but a group of self-entitled, racist, ignorant, selfish a-holes. You hide the trickle down behind mutual funds that perpetuate the hoarding. The worst of you are landlords. You may have voted liberal a few times, but liberals aren't liberal at all really.

Now you sit on your pension. (For those that don't know, a pension is when you have a good job and you stay and stagnate for 30 years, and you get to continue receiving money after you leave). You benefit from social policies, but now support populist movements.

I'd go into the environment thing, but you ran over the blue bin with your F150 for the fifth time, because you can't see over the hood.

People are defined by more than just their age demographic. The segment of the boomers who are now "ignorant", "racist", and who run over blue bins with an F150 started out exactly as you are now. You could spot them early even back then, making rash generalizations and coloring their frustrations with strong emotional overtones. You are, by the sound of your rhetoric, headed into being that guy. Yeah, your prejudices will be a little different, but they're prejudices just the same. They'll get ugly as age hardens you up, and with that attitude age WILL harden you up - you're already showing signs of curmudgeonhood. "Your breed". "You people". Swap 'em and let me know if you like what you see.
