The political apathy of the average gen xer is more responsible for the hell world we live in than people care to admit.

Millennials love them some hindsight. Just wait til Gen Zers use it on you.

I’m from a small city on the Hudson that’s recently gotten a ton of press for the cool, sleepy, artsy NYC bedroom community it’s become. I have townie friends who have for years pissed away what could have been a down payment on a modest home, and now they’re whinging about the explosion of home sales, especially in the few places that people really want to live. Most of the new residents are transplants from the city. They ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Donnie Walsh: I don’t know. I think people are reconsidering dense urban living in the 21st century, and the people that have the luxury of voluntary migration are the rich people. Manhattan already had a depressed luxury real estate market before the pandemic. Now the landscape has changed even more drastically.

Pay attention to moving vans now. I saw more last weekend than ever.

Yeah, it makes zero sense for Paul to end his illustrious career on a cellar dweller.

Until he actually washes up -something he has shown no sign of doing – any team that has Chris Paul next year will not be in the cellar.

PS I’m feeling the love for my namesake, #44.

Apathy, or worse, force-feeding themselves shitty opinion television and believing it’s objective truth. My wife works in a Boomer-heavy office. You would not believe the cable-news bullshit they vomit on a daily basis.

Oaktree…that is probably true. We were so hell bent on not being the idealistic hippie baby boomer who then becomes a hypocritical yuppie that we just kind of removed ourselves from it all.

I’m a young gen x’er by the way. I guess I’d be in that weird Xennial generation where I have a bit of millenial and gen x’er both in me.

But Gen X’ers were also the original “generation that won’t do as well as their parents” generation. They did benefit from the 90s economy being good but many of them like my brother entered the job market in the early 90s when the economy was horrible. Then there was the dot com crash/9-11 around the 2000s and the financial crash. Millenials have had it worse, but gen x got it worse than the boomers for sure.

There’s also this thing when you’re a gen x’er where you get really annoyed at the fact that all of our culture wars are focused on boomers vs. millenials.

I’m sure NYC is still fun for young people. I’m not saying that. Just that NYC in the 90s was in a nice sweet spot like geo said. Cleaned up just a bit to be safe in most areas but still gritty enough to get in trouble and very easy to go out for a night on the cheap. I can’t overstate how awesome the music/club scene was during that time. The options were endless.

In reply to geo.

Slag is British slang for attack someone/something with words (it evolved from slag being used to just describe a bad person, and then it evolved to being a verb used when insulting someone).

But I’m sure Cleveland is nice this time of year, too….

ha, yeah, no thanks 🙂

I love when dusty gen–x’ers slag the city nowadays.

okay, i’m old and ignorant – wtf does “slag” mean…
