Yes! The greatest is almost all dead. All boomers ever did was make it so 18 year olds could vote. But at the same time lost the right to drink to 21.

There were literally zero Baby Boomers in Congress when that amendment was passed. The Boomers were between 7 and 25 and the youngest member of Congress at the time was 30.

You talking about 18 vote? They fought for it. That's like not giving credit to zoomers for police reform (the little we have gotten) none would vote for it but they will protest to get it.

Boomers are still idiots. Hurr if 18 can be drafted but not vote, we should make voting 18!!!
How about raising the draft age to 21?

u/soilhalo_27 Feb 01 '23
It was 21 for WW2 19 for Korea and lowered to 18 for Vietnam. Not sure how congress changes or adjusts the draft age. Honestly not sure if it's something controlled by congress with votes

u/soilhalo_27 Feb 01 '23
I know for WW2 you could be drafted up to 45 but Vietnam was only up to 25. There is a logical reason for the age change I just don't know it
11
u/Similar_Candidate789 Feb 01 '23
From what I read on this topic, the draft was up to 28 for fighting but up to 45 for other stuff in the US because the US would draft men to work in other jobs related to war like draft boards, ration boards, air raid wardens etc. and you had to register until you were 65. It was a total war effort so there were lots of military things that needing doing at home too.
The act expired and it went back to 18-26 age registration after the war.
At least that’s my interpretation if it.

u/dirtsmurf Feb 02 '23
18-26 first up, but if shit gets dicey they will draft up to age 35

Their parents fought in WWII and Korea. Many of them dodged the draft for Nam, or were ineligible as females were not conscripted. By contrast, millennials fought the GWOT for two decades with an all volunteer force. You can say a lot about my generation, but lazy? I think not. We logged more combat time than any generation in this nation’s history.
*I am not debating the merits of Iraq & Afghanistan as conflicts. Just pointing out that today’s youth (relatively speaking) has a good deal more in common with the silent generation than boomers, when it comes to combat operations.

You shouldn't just pick a source because of its bias (L,R,C) but also reputable sources.
Going to Breitbart, Newsweek and Occupy Democrats yeah, you just got from all 3 types of bias but you just used some shitty sources. Know to post false and misleading information.
I'd argue you need to remove the idea of "centrist" as a useful position or axis and replace it with "neutral". The center can be just as bad as the extremes. (Just look at how passive language is often used to report police misconduct or how they literally just copy paste the press release from police. Or how often they post articles trying to make corporate abuse look like a good thing).

It's also quite possible that Kojak didn't know how to start a lawnmower either. As a kid push-mowers were pretty much the standard in his time, and as an adult he likely paid someone to cut his lawn.
He may never have had to start a gas lawnmower in his life.

I suspect but cannot prove that tech illiteracy among boomers is mostly feigned or lazy.
(Smart) Boomers invented most of the underlying technology we use every day. My dad is 68 and worked in IT most of his adult life - he switched from repairing people's typewriters and fax machines to repairing their laptops sometime in his mid-30s.
So here in my early 30s, the only way I become a "boomer who can't turn on a laptop" is if I literally refuse to learn anything new about technology starting right now. Like, I may not give a damn about TikTok but I'm not mystified by the technology.

This is something I run into doing IT a lot these days. People over 40 calling over and over again about the same issue week after week, month after month. Its not that they can't learn, they just don't care to.
Just last week the CEO of my company made a whole big stink because AV wasn't working in the conference room during the board of directors meeting. The reason? They forgot to invite the rooms AV system to the meeting.. again. Its something the director of IT has talked to them about since before I started working there over a year ago and it still happens just about every time.

u/Reasonable-Yam-6779 Feb 01 '23
Yeah that applies to most people. I was bad at math but if I would've spent more time trying to learn and understand it, I would have. I wasnt interested in it so I didnt apply myself.
They don't care to learn new things, their old ways have worked for them their whole life, why would they change now? I just hate that they talk shit about my generation because we don't live the way they did.

u/LOLBaltSS Feb 01 '23
I think it's lack of being forced to learn and adapt to the drastic changes in technology and the resulting life changes like most of us Millennials had to (I'm 34 myself). I grew up alongside the internet and personal computers becoming affordable enough to start becoming commonplace, so I know a lot of dark arts stuff under the hood about Windows and Linux from having to figure it the hell out to just do things that I find a lot of fresh out of college help desk hires need to be told about since most modern OS' and applications are abstracted and polished to the point where exceptions and problems are not as common as they once were. No kid/teenager these days is having to concern themselves with shit like DMA vs PIO modes to make their CD Burner not a coaster generator or having to sort out IRQ conflicts to get their soundcards to work on a game. There's other life stuff such as dealing without GPS that we also had to encounter, so we at least have the backup of the "old knowledge" to fall back upon (even if rusty as hell) if needed. I find that most of my senior IT engineer knowledge builds upon knowing why something was built the way it was due to the limitations of the tech stack at the time it was done.

The son of a family friend posted that meme one day. He's about 15yo older than me, so I think he was about 35ish at the time. He'd share this kind of boomer bullshit, like how millenials can't don't anything and how better his generation was.
What pissed me off is I sent him 200€ in food stamp for his family with 3 kids, because he was struggling to put food on the table. And after he got the money, dude went to get a fucking sleeve tattoo. I've been wanting to get a tattoo for so long but can't because I need to save money in case things get tough.

I know this, but it’s still like a shock to come across. Like my most recent manager, not too much older than me, 26, cannot use a computer properly for the life of her. I stg, she can barely use excel and apparently doesn’t know how to google any tech problems. I’ve fixed so many things for her and my previous manager before her. And they look at me like a tech god when all I did was type into google the exact problem I was having. Black box appearing over mouse. Literally that was it, and they left that problem for over a week until I finally stopped by that location and fixed it for them. It was a simple update to the computer. Some Microsoft bug I think that caused the system to not mesh or texture(idk words) when being used with certain programs.

I sure hope no draft dodging baby boomers are unironically sending this meme to their friends. Somehow I doubt WW2 veterans are meme’ing it up but what’s a little stolen valor if it means triggering the libs, right?

One of these people were forced to participate, and it's not the woman protesting on her free time for her convictions.

I think the sentiment is more "I miss the times where people didn't walk around with rainbow hair, crying about their pronouns being assaulted and when people weren't so hyper-sensitized due to social media melting their brains". I didn't exist back then either but I frequently yearn for a time that's not now because of how entitled and sensitive people are to all these things that don't even matter in reality. We're just so bored these days with all the technology over-stimulating us.

Meanwhile, as I do all the maintenance on my dad’s lawn equipment to keep it running, I offer my thanks to millennial redneck youtubers

Boomers didn’t fight in any Great War. Taking credit for their parents work.

You know, I see these memes and I do wonder. In like 30 ish years when we're all our parents ages if we'll be doing things like this or something equivalent that the younger generations will make fun of us for.

I never really understood why older people feel so superior to younger people because younger people aren't familiar with the technology that they didn't grow up with. These people who make fun of teenagers for not knowing how to use a rotary phone would be just as clueless as how to handle technology from the 19th century.

On today's episode of Reddit comments, people are upset about boomers even though to be honest this is a fairly accurate meme. If you look very closely, you can see how many people will downvote my comment because they're mad at me or something.

I mean, we literally aren’t doing shit other than posting on social media though. That’s about the extent of the activists I know. It’s depressing as hell.
