We hit one third of boomers being dead in the last few days.

Just How stupid does one have to be to think all their woes exist with only one generation? There are far bigger monsters alive today in current younger generations (many in millennial) that are far more destructive to our lives and the earth. They’ve seen more $$$ than any boomer and will laugh at you while you live out of a garbage can.
And you’d still probably be posting stupid memes like this acting completely oblivious to the burning hell around you.
Putting Keanu next to dead Boomers is like when Micheal Scott announced he hit Meredith and the doctors did all they could.
Why would you phrase it like that?!
It's a start.
I kid, I kid, my parents are already dead, not everyone who was/is a boomer is horrid. But this generation has hung around power for too long, it's time to move on.
Nooo my man Keanu. Your a soulless casket of meat
What kind of psycopath counts generation death as a good thing. All interesting humans dead and you take it as an achievement.
Stop crying on the past. Stop blaming past on generations. Start learning from past generation mistakes, and thank them for having you.
Because as a new generation we're going to make a lot of mistakes, who knows if more or less than the past generations. And we shouldn't be blamed in the future.
Blaming the past generations and not learning from them is a childish response. Start doing something productive and useful to society, blaming is not helping.
Stop having tantrums and grow up. And thank you have past generations otherwise you would have to create all we have now from scratch.
It's like saying "Newton dumb" because his work is old and it doesn't work correctly for all physical frames, not like Einstein his work is much better. Both are as good because they lived at different times with different technology, knowledge, society, etc.
This feels like explaining basic life knowledge to a 3 year old tbh.
Thanks Lemmy. I just had to wiki to double-verify that Keanu Reeves is not dead.
Thank God.
Who was it?! Who took us over the edge?! I WANT NAMES DAMNIT!
We need a cross-garriso comparison of voting Republicans and use that countdown too.
Thanks for the decimal places on the percentage. Wanna be precise with that one.
what the fuck? people keep statistics for that?
And it’s only going to accelerate from here!
Strange to see people blaming their fellow citizens, when it was a certain beloved King that started off his reign by hugely cutting the tax-rate of corporations, leaving them with the 'trickle-down'.
Somehow rulers manage to keep the people divided by keeping them blaming each other rather the root-cause.
That’s a lot of dead boomers in a few days …
"Ya'll wanna go back to the metric system or nah?"
wow i would have thought it would be more than that.
Gentle reminder that the whole generations thing is made up.
But true that many of these folks and older hold high positions of power, which is probably the cause for the clock.

The first of the tree generations after wwII.
It's a good start.
My mother is pre-Boomer (born soon after the U.S. entered the war) and has been incredibly progressive her entire life. She has never voted for a Republican. She marched for civil rights. She wanted me to know that women and men are equal and that color and religion and ethnicity should not make you dislike someone. She taught me about sex (appropriately) when I asked about it at 3 or 4 years old rather than shielding me from it. My brother and I both have (had in my case, but that's another story) gay best friends who were also best man at both of our weddings. She always welcomed them even though my brother and his friend became friends in the mid-1980s. I remember asking my mother what she would do if I was gay and she said she would love me no matter what I was. I don't specifically know her politics, but my dad, born even earlier (1931) was mostly the same way. He definitely had his prejudices- although he would deny it- and he was a lot more sexist than he thought he was, but he was also an outspoken socialist until the dementia got too bad for him to be outspoken about it. One of the last things I was able to tell him before he was too far gone to understand was that Bernie was running for president.
I have certainly had a lot of issues with Boomers and people older than them, but it is far from universal, but I am really proud of my parents for always being progressive.
Many have spent decades wishing they were part of the boomers generation and its many benefits, BUT maybe the last laugh is that 1/3 of them are already dead while the lesser endowed generations that came after, especially Millennials and Gen Z are facing a future where aging and health issues may be a thing of the past.
