Boomers never actually hated gaming. They hated you. Home consoles were new and exciting at the time, and it shouldn't come as a surprise how enthusiastic the youth were about them. Video games were always a proxy to launder their hatred of their children.

One particularly funny example of this was when I had an organic chemistry professor who'd make unprompted, non sequitur snipes at Minecraft during lectures because his nine year old son liked it.

I don't know what the 2040s "Red Wave" will look like, but Miami will be its nexus.
By 2028 everyone will be ashamed to admit they ever supported MAGA/Trump/the GOP just like with Bush, and then by about 2040 everyone will be sick of the new Woke 3.0 hegemony and bring them back to power, then realize it was a horrible mistake when they irrevocably fuck everything up again.

Chicago seems like the likely nexus for the 2030s "Dark Blue Wave" revenge tour. It's absolutely full of somewhat affluent Oldllennial transplants from the even more affluent coasts.

The Griftcore diasporoid capital flight axis (Miami, Tel Aviv, Dubai, etc)
Excellent primer on the historical rise of "Imperial Miami"

The all too common shared experience of having a beloved console (or two) smashed to pieces makes this relationship explicit: you were the one being smashed.

And a preemptive "Fell For It Again" Award to the midwit voters who fall for this thinking it'll be any different.
BREAKING: House Democrats have introduced a resolution that Congress should not bail out AI firms in the event of a financial crisis and should be subjected to the ordinary bankruptcy process.

The upper classes don't apply for jobs. They get ushered in through family connections or nepotism. Failing this, they become roving Trust-afarians with fake, look-busy jobs to hide the fact that they don't work for a living.
The online job application system is just another class filter they put in place. The upper classes don't apply for jobs, they get recruited. Failing that, they create a startup, siphon VC money, and eventually fall forward into executive roles when they spend it all on oysters.

I admit it's been a while since I've flown, but since fucking when? I thought you always got a carry-on?

If the electorate were intelligent, it would demand the "Buy, Borrow, Die" infinite money exploit that enables the wealthy to borrow against their assets to buy more assets be patched. The wealthy are not bothered by income taxes because they do not derive a typical income.

I fear it's too complicated for the average voter to understand and it would actually affect the rich in a negative way, so you'll never see this on a ballot.

Anyone can do this, mind you, but there are orders of magnitude separating a small SBLOC of 1-5% on a $250,000 brokerage account versus a $250,000,000 brokerage account.

In the first example, I can borrow enough to make rent and pay some bills. In the second example, I can borrow $2.5 million without any meaningful consequence.

Zionism itself is like a “Genocide Chungus” in the way it just copies what the Nazis did in a much dorkier way

My dad presented this song to me like it was the Mona Lisa and prefaced it with, "this is the greatest song ever written."
Boomers high-key believe that the 1977 number 1 Billboard Hot 100 single, "Hotel California", is the most profound work of art to have ever been created. I even got extra credit once for writing my interpretation of the song, in a high school trigonometry class.

If you live in the suburbs you can hit that special overlap area where you get guys in Ram pickups with punisher stickers on them who drink matcha and want to meet Michelle Obama

Boomers are absolutely obsessed with eliminating property taxes, despite a lifetime of profiting from currency debasement &asset inflation Property taxes are the oldest &fairest tax in existence, but they have no concept of responsibility — the most selfish generation in history
The most selfish generation in American history We have no choice but to break the back of the AARP lobby to ensure prosperity for ourselves and our children
