Have been looking at getting a summer #cabin, perhaps good enough to work remotely three seasons, for a few years.

The sad truth is, the #boomers bought the nice places in the 60/70:s, and those are not reaching the market, but are inherited.

What does reach the market is mosquito-infested, moldy masonite hovels surrounded by thick fir woods miles from any water.

Only exceptions are places where the #boomer kids can't get along _at all_ and sell - and then priced higher than my #Stockholm home.

#Luxury problem, I know, but so much of the #swedish culture still centers around having a #summercabin, and it's sad to only briefly rent parts of it.

This is Kos Samaras’ #analysis of the #AUstralian #ELectorate:
“Gen Z is the most socially progressive generation in Australian history. On climate, on gender, on multiculturalism, on sexuality, the debates that consumed their parents are simply settled questions for them.

However – and this is where most commentary gets them wrong – their progressivism is not primarily cultural. It is economic. This is a generation psychologically predisposed to economic populism: hostile to concentrated wealth, cynical about corporate power, convinced the housing market is rigged (because it is, against them) and increasingly comfortable with state intervention that would have made their Gen X parents flinch. They want someone to name the enemy, and the enemy they recognise is not the migrant or the welfare recipient. It’s the landlord, the bank, the supermarket duopoly.

This is why right-wing populism keeps bouncing off them. One Nation is currently discovering its ceiling: Gen Z is a large part of what that ceiling is made of. In our research, only around one in 10 of this cohort will entertain a One Nation vote; among young women, the figure collapses into the single digits. Gen Z women are, on our data, the most progressive demographic segment ever measured in this country. The gender gap inside this generation is real and widening but note what the gap is between: young women who are hyper-progressive, and young men who are, mostly still progressive, just less so. The manosphere drift among a minority of young men is real and worth watching but it’s still a minority. It is not, on current evidence, an electoral majority-maker for the populist right in Australia the way it has been elsewhere.”

I’m a #Boomer, so I can’t validate this from my own perspective. Any #GenZ out there willing to comment on any of the statements above? I’d be interested in reading about them.

Maybe I’m an exception. Without turning this toot into a book, let me affirm right here that for this #boomer, life has been just as hard as it has been for anyone born after my generation. I’ll add that I was only able to afford my own house at the age of 72 and only with the help of close family members . Nothing has been given to me on a plate as an adult just because I grew up in the post-war years of relatively favourable redistribution of wealth — all of which, and more, has been clawed back in the last 40 yrs or so. As a parting shot, let me just say that all of our collective problems (talking about the 90% of our society) stem from the #neoliberalism which has ensured run-away inequity and the concentration of wealth in the remaining 10% — because we’ve *All* allowed it to occur (due to apathy, brain-washing, stupidity, misinformed, and/or many other faux pas) since the late 70s. All of this to say, I grow tired of all the finger pointing to a single generation for all the ills suffered by society since then. Believe me when I say, I never voted/asked for any of it.

Our first step out of this mess is a simple one, *Join Your Union* and fight for what is due to us all.

In their final act on the national stage, the #boomer generation left the #USA with a #supplyshock, #joblessness and #stagflation. And never once did their #dunningkruger diminish, so there will be no apology, no introspection. Only surprise that we are not enthusiastically supporting funding for their statues. #boomers

Boomerframing,
die Frankfurter Rundschau bringt die Überschrift:
"Boomer-Großeltern klinken sich aus: „Nur für schöne Dinge da“"

ganz am Ende des Artikels schreiben sie dann, dass das alles nicht so ist, sondern eher im Gegenteil sehr viel an innerfamiliären Hilfsarbeiten geleistet wird.

ich will den Artikel hier nicht verlinken, das ist einfach tendenziöser Vollschrott. und ragebaiting. Journalismus sollte anders aussehen.

Ich weiss, dass #Boomer mehr eine alterslose Charakterbezeichnung ist, denn auf Alter o. Jahrgang bezogen. Doch auch in den Jahrgängen der echten Boomer, sind offene Geister übrig geblieben. Sie kämpften mit #Strauss #Kohl #Republikanern, in #Brokdorf #Mutlangen #Gorleben. Und die "linken" Youngsters heutzutage, kommen manchen arg verpeilt, verbiestert, intolerant, ineffektiv vor. Ist das wirklich nur der Effekt des Alters, bei dem Ältere über die Nachkommen meckern? 🤔

In britischen Läden wird immer mehr Schokolade geklaut – organisierte Kriminalität wird vermutet. Supermärkte wollen dem nun einen „Riegel“ vorschieben.

Eigentlich sind viele zufrieden, wie's läuft; tendenziell gerne mehr linksgrünversifft als schwarzbraunverblödet.

Die an solchen Umfragen teilnehmen, gehen wohl eher nicht wählen. Oder sehen #GenX & #Boomer im #GenderSternchen allen Ernstes die größte ernstzunehmende Gefahr für das Wohl ihrer Kinder und (Ur-)Enkel?

Heh. So, truth be told, I am "Doomsday Jones". And I am #GenerationJones! Was it named after me? Probably not. However, I'm in company with #RobertSmith, #SiouxsieSioux and #TrentReznor! Generation Jones, Mother Fuckers!

Too young to be a #Boomer, too old to be #GenX: Meet the microgeneration 'Generation Jones'

Generation Jones is made up of people born from 1954 to 1965.

Excerpt: "Gen Jones gets its name from the competitive 'keeping up with the Joneses' spirit that spawned during their populous birth years, but also from the term 'jonesin',' meaning an intense craving, that they coined—a drug reference but also a reflection of the yearning to make a difference that their 'unrequited idealism left them with.' "
